It is a sad fact that
many women experience the distress and misery caused by
hair loss. It is important that hair loss in a women is
properly investigated as it is more complex than male hereditary
hair loss.
It is suggested that 25% of white females aged
between 35 and 45 and 35% to 40% of females at age
50 present with female androgenetic alopecia. Female alopecia
is caused by an androgentic predisposition of the hair
follicle with normal levels or with mild or severe androgen
level growth. This type of hair loss is characterized by
a diffuse thinning all over the head, unlike the typical
male patterned baldness. The hair becomes thinner and shorter
resulting in the scalp becoming visible through the hair.
The menopause can also be a contributor to hair
loss in women. 20% of women suffer from hair loss as a
result of a decrease in female hormones. The testosterone
already present at normal levels has a trigger effect on
the hair loss. This can have a devastating effect on women
resulting in depression and low self esteem, after all,
a woman’s hair is her crowning glory.
