Kris Jenner was recently photographed with noticeably thinning hair - could it be the stress of her very public divorce and family issues are finally taking their toll on her?
While it may come as a shock, recent studies suggest that divorce can be a trigger for hair loss in women. The research found that, genetics aside, marital status is the next strongest predictor of hair loss in women. The good news is, if she is experiencing stress-related hair loss, the thinning will most likely not be permanent. However if there are other lifestyle factors behind her hair loss, such as over-styling, chemicals, or even plastic surgery, she will need to adjust her behaviors if she wants to save her hair from permanent damage.
She can give her hair a boost with nutritional supplements, and maintaining a diet filled with healthy hair foods. Laser therapy can also be an effective way to stimulate growth.

Recent photos of Kris Jenner, the matriarch of the Kardashian reality TV clan, show noticeable signs of thinning in the 59-year old's hair line. In fact, photos cited by Radar Online show the beginnings of a bald spot above her left temple.
Why do women go bald?
There are a wide range of reasons for this - genetics (women can inherit the "hair loss gene" too), hormonal imbalances, medications, health, physical damage from hair extensions, styling or over-treating the hair, and plain old stress - which can lead to temporary fallout.
It's impossible to say without examining Ms. Jenner what the true cause of her hair loss is, or whether or not it will be permanent, but I'd advise her to see a board-certified hair restoration physician right away. Hair loss doctors can perform a number of tests to determine the cause of hair loss and how best to treat it, including genetic tests (HairDX), hair mass index tests (HairCheck) and a physical exam. And even if it is female-pattern hair loss, instead of simple fallout or breakage, there are special treatments that can help women - like Formula 82M, platelet-rich plasma therapy (or PRP), low level laser therapy, minimally invasive micro-surgical hair transplants (NeoGraft FUE) and off-label treatments like finasteride and dutasteride.
