 Possible causes of hair loss in women are birth control pills that have high amounts of progestin, thyroid disease, bacterial, fungal and herpes infections of the scalp; improper hair care with tight hairstyles, overuse of dyes and permanents. Nutrient deficiencies like vitamins A, B6, B12, C, folic acid, and minerals such as copper, iron and zinc that make red blood cells which supply oxygen to the hair shaft to keep it vibrant. Vitamin E is also required for good scalp and follicle health.
Keep your thyroid status under control.

To correct vitamin deficiency causing hair loss, such women are advised to take high potency multivitamin and multi mineral tablets daily. They should contain beta carotene, the major vitamins, vitamins C, E and minerals iron, zinc, copper, silica and free form amino acid complex.
