Common Causes of Hair Loss in Women in Oman

  • Nutritional deficiencies — low iron, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, zinc, and biotin are among the most common triggers
  • Hormonal imbalances — thyroid disorders, PCOS, postpartum hormonal shifts, and menopause
  • Heat and UV damage — Oman's extreme climate accelerates hair shaft damage and scalp stress
  • Stress (telogen effluvium) — physical or emotional stress pushes hair follicles into a resting phase, causing shedding 2–3 months later
  • Tight hairstyles — traction alopecia from repeated pulling on the hair shaft
  • Scalp conditions — dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and fungal infections
  • Genetics — female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)

Prevention Tips

  • Eat a balanced diet rich in iron, protein, and vitamins — or supplement where needed
  • Protect hair from heat styling and UV exposure
  • Use gentle, sulphate-free shampoos and avoid over-washing
  • Manage stress through exercise, sleep, and mindfulness
  • Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on the scalp
  • Get regular blood tests to identify nutritional deficiencies early

If nutritional deficiency is a factor, targeted supplementation can make a significant difference. Key nutrients to consider include biotin, iron, Vitamin D, zinc, and Vitamin B12.
