Why are women losing their hair so often nowadays?

Question

I have noticed a lot more women losing their hair these days. It is unbelievable. When I go to poorer countries outside the US, this is not the case.

Chinese women are losing their hair even faster than Chinese men, which is strange.

Answer 1

Stress!! Scientists have predicted that women will be bald in the future as stress increases...the process has begun already.

Using chemicals or ironing/curling products damages hair, however its the "stress of not looking good otherwise" which induces women to damage their own hair for temporary gains.

Answer 2

There are all kinds of attributing factors to hair loss. Genetics, poor diet, stress, certain medications, pregnancy, post pregnancy, age... I could go on.
The fact that Chinese women are losing thier hair more than usual makes me wonder. They usually have a very healthy diet, more-so than American women. They eat foods that are steamed
(which holds more vitamin content) or lightly stir fried, contain less fat and less preservatives. Then again, thier men hold them to much higher standards then the men here in the U.S. so it must be because of MEN!!!
