What causes extreme hair loss in women?

My hair has become so thin, and I'm losing an alarming amount every single day. I'm really scared it won't grow back. What causes this kind of extreme hair loss specifically in women?

Instead of wasting money on expensive parlor hair spas, spend about 1200 rupees on a serum ferritin and thyroid panel. Finding the actual internal deficiency is much cheaper than buying multiple hair fall shampoos.

Our hair often reflects our inner peace and physical health. Stay positive, eat fresh fruits, and consult a doctor to heal your body from within.

I ignored my extreme hair thinning for a year, thinking it was just stress, until I was diagnosed with severe alopecia areata. Please don't wait for bald patches to appear, consult a dermatologist immediately.

I went to a dermatologist at a major hospital for my hair loss. She clearly explained that female pattern hair loss or hormonal shifts post-pregnancy need proper medical treatments, not just hair oils.

Totally agree with the hormonal aspect. Checking your thyroid levels is the first and most important step for sudden hair loss.
