Possible Causes for Hair Loss. The reasons for female pattern hair loss are not totally understood, although it is thought to be related to a family history of male or female baldness, changes in the levels of male hormones (androgens) and aging.
Here are some other causes of hair loss: Telogen effluvium (say: TEL-uh-jen eh-FLOO-vee-um). This means that more hairs than usual are in the resting phase and fall out more easily. As a result, you lose more hair than usual. You might notice more hair on your brush or a big clump of hair in the drain after you shower. A fever, stress, or surgery can cause this change in your hair. The good news is that you're not going bald and your hair will be back to normal within 6 months.
