The study found that women who had lost a partner through divorce or death were far more likely to have thinning hair than women who were happily married or single.
The author of the project, Dr Bahman Guyuron, chairman of the department of plastic surgery at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, believes the link is down to how a woman's marital status affects her state of mind.
'Most likely, stress is the aspect of a troubling divorce that appears to lead to hair loss among women,' he told HealthDay News.
He added that other stressful situations, such as having children, could affect a woman's hairline in the same way.
