Hair is an important part of a woman’s self image and confidence. It reflects our health, vitality, and often our inner balance.
It is therefore not surprising that increased hair loss can cause worry and affect emotional wellbeing. Although it may seem like a problem without a clear solution, there are effective ways to restore hair strength, shine, and density.
The natural hair growth cycle
Each strand of hair follows its own natural growth cycle, which includes three phases: anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (rest). It is normal to lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day.
Problems arise when hair enters the shedding phase faster than it is renewed, or when the growth cycle is disrupted by internal or external factors.
The main causes of hair loss in women
Hormonal changes
Hormones play a key role in hair health. Changes during pregnancy, after childbirth, menopause, or while taking contraception can cause temporary hair loss.
In such cases, hair shedding is usually hormonally driven and tends to resolve on its own over time.
Genetics and hereditary predisposition
If thinning hair runs in the family, it may be a sign of androgenetic alopecia, caused by the genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to hormones. In such cases, the goal is to slow progression and encourage new growth.
Lack of micronutrients
Hair is made of protein and needs sufficient amounts of biotin, iron, zinc, selenium, and omega fatty acids to stay strong and resilient. An unbalanced diet or restrictive eating habits can lead to increased breakage and thinning.
Stress
Chronic stress causes hormonal imbalances that can trigger telogen effluvium, a condition in which many hairs enter the resting phase at the same time and subsequently fall out.
Regular relaxation, sufficient sleep, and maintaining inner balance are therefore key parts of overall care.
Health conditions
Thyroid disorders, PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), and certain autoimmune conditions are among the more common causes of hair loss in women. In these cases, it is important to seek professional help to address the underlying cause.
The most common types of hair loss in women
- Androgenetic alopecia – genetically conditioned thinning, most often on the crown of the head.
- Telogen effluvium – temporary hair shedding following stress, illness, or hormonal changes.
- Traction alopecia – caused by prolonged pulling of the hair (tight hairstyles, ponytails).
- Diffuse alopecia areata – an autoimmune reaction in which hair falls out across the entire scalp.
- Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia – a rarer form that causes scarring and permanent hair loss.
Effective strategies for managing hair loss
1. Balanced diet and supplements
To support hair growth, include foods rich in iron (legumes, spinach), zinc (nuts, pumpkin seeds), and omega fatty acids (hemp seed oil, flax seeds). When diet alone is not enough, CBD Oil can help by regulating the body’s response to stress and inflammation, supporting overall wellbeing and hormonal balance, which in turn benefits hair health.

2. Stress management
Since stress is one of the most common triggers of hair loss, a combination of relaxation techniques, physical activity, and quality sleep can make a real difference. CBD Oil supports the body’s natural stress response, helping maintain calm and inner balance.
3. Proper hair and scalp care
A healthy scalp is the foundation of strong hair. At Hemptouch, we have developed the CBD Revive Scalp Treatment, combining botanical extracts of red clover, CBD, nettle, hibiscus, and hemp seed oil to activate hair follicles, stimulate growth, and reduce shedding. The treatment gently balances excess oil, soothes sensitive scalps, and strengthens the scalp’s natural protective barrier. Regular use supports healthy hair growth for thicker, stronger, and shinier hair.

When to seek professional help
If you notice sudden or severe hair loss, or thinning that does not improve within a few months, it is advisable to visit a dermatologist or trichologist. These specialists can analyse your scalp, identify the underlying cause, and recommend appropriate treatment.
