HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different possible causes for hair loss. The most common causes of hair loss are: (1) anemia
(2) hypothyroidism
(3)lupus
(4)telogen effluvium- this occurs after pregnancy, weight loss, extreme stress, major surgery
(5)lupus
(7)polycystic ovarian syndrome
(8)hair conditions of the scalp
(9)alopecia areta-this is an autoimmune conditions that affects the scalp

You may want to consider visiting a dermatologist for evaluation. This would determine if there is any underlying cause that needed treatment.

I hope this helps
