How can I manage hair loss as a woman?

Hair loss can be distressing for many women, but there are ways to manage it. First, it's important to identify the cause, which can range from hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, to medical conditions like thyroid disorders or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially iron, biotin, and zinc, can support hair health. Treatments such as topical solutions like minoxidil or therapies from a dermatologist can be beneficial. The NHS encourages women experiencing significant hair loss to consult their GP to rule out underlying health issues and explore treatment options that are right for them.
