PCOS Hair Loss – Causes, Signs & How to Control It
Hair loss due to PCOS is one of the most common yet emotionally distressing concerns among women. Unlike normal hair fall, PCOS hair loss is driven by hormonal imbalance — which means treating only the surface issue rarely gives long-term results. Early diagnosis and the right treatment approach can significantly improve hair density and scalp health.
PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) leads to increased levels of androgens (male hormones) such as testosterone and DHT. These hormones shrink hair follicles over time — a process called follicle miniaturisation.
As a result:
Hair becomes thinner and weaker
Growth slows down
Follicles eventually stop producing hair
This typically results in female pattern hair loss, where thinning is visible on the crown and top of the scalp while the hairline remains intact.
Common Signs of PCOS Hair Loss
- Thinning hair on the crown
- Widening partition line
- Excessive hair shedding
- Dry, brittle strands
- Slow regrowth
- Hair fall with acne, irregular periods, or weight gain
- What Worsens PCOS Hair Loss?
- Insulin resistance
- Chronic stress
- Nutritional deficiencies (Iron, Vitamin D, Zinc, Biotin)
- Thyroid imbalance
- Crash dieting
- Scalp conditions like dandruff
