Hair fall can be permanent or temporary. It can be heredity, due to hormonal changes, medical conditions, or a normal part of aging.

For women going through menopause, the cause of hair loss is almost always related to hormonal changes. Other reasons could be extremely high levels of stress, illness, or a lack of certain nutrients. Diagnostic blood tests that can help rule out other causes of hair loss include thyroid tests, and/or a complete blood count which includes zinc, iron, and biotin.
