Losing hair or watching it progressively thin is difficult for many people to accept, but for women it can be even more difficult. We are more accustomed to seeing receding hairlines or thinning hair on men, not that it is an easy condition for men either, but society is a bit more accepting of male-patterned baldness. The only time we expect to see balding in women is when they are going through specific medical treatments like chemotherapy.
Most Common Causes of Female Hair Loss
One of the main causes of hair loss in women, and men for that matter, is androgenetic alopecia, more commonly called male or female-patterned baldness. While many see this as a male problem, it affects a large number of women as well. It is the kind that runs in the family, on either side of the family.
