Women's Hair Loss
Female
Baldness has Emotionally Devastating Results
 The
causes of hair loss in men and women can generally
be the same. However, stress, autoimmune and
chemical damage—not genetics—play a larger role in
baldness in women.
The other main difference in male baldness and
female baldness is the pattern. The male
traditionally loses hair beginning at the hairline
and receding along the top of the head to the back
of the scalp, leaving hair on the sides and very
back of the head.
Females, on the other hand, are rarely bald like
men. Baldness in women is actually more of a hair
thinning, especially around the forehead and scalp.
Other women can experience hair loss in various
places around the head, thus making it difficult to
spot female baldness.
Because estrogen blocks the hormone that causes hair
loss, the onset of menopause is when 37% of women
experience an increase in thinning hair. In fact,
80- and 90-year-old women often see hair growth stop
completely.
Emotional Impact of Women and Baldness
 Unfortunately,
the impact of female hair loss is more significant
in women than in men. Because hair loss in men is
more common, it is socially accepted—even
expected—to see balding men. It’s different with
women and baldness.
Women typically place a greater amount of pride on
their appearance—especially their hair style.
Studies have shown that women view their hair loss
as a devastating loss. Their self-esteem is lower,
thus affecting personal relationships.
That’s because much of a woman’s social acceptance
is, in theory, tied to her hair. Unlike men, who can
turn to many others who share in his hair loss
experience, women feel themselves becoming outcasts.
Women often feel that female hair loss is abnormal.
Many never find anyone to discuss the issue with,
and, therefore, they suffer.
