Female Hair
Loss:
 There are obvious differences in the balding patterns between the sexes. Men tend to lose their hair in the frontal hairline, the temple areas and the crown, the top of the highest part of the head. Women on the other hand tend to retain there frontal hairlines and any thinning that may occur often takes place in the forelock area. The zone behind the frontal hairline on top of the scalp. It is rare for women to lose all the hair in any thinning area. Also women typically do not have as much recession in the temples as men. By age 60 50% of women have significant recessions in this area. Another major difference is that women may also have significant thinning in the fringe area, while most men do not.
In the specialty of surgical hair restoration men comprise more than 90% of the patients treated. However, in the last years the number of women under going the procedure has increased significantly.
As in men the overwhelming majority of hair loss in women are genetic in origin. Female pattern androgenetic
hair loss occurs in approximately 10% of women. The onset can be as early as the late 20’s or early 30’s with steady progression most commonly accelerating with menopause. Hormonal alterations or abnormalities such as hypothyroidism, pregnancy and menopause can be associated with diffuse hair thinning. Traction alopecia which is more common in African American women occurs because of excessive pulling of the hair from hair weaves or hair systems. This is a slow and gradual process that often develops over a period of years.
Hair transplantation can be used to restore hair
growth in other parts one of which is most common is
the eyebrows, where we can see poor density or limited
areas of coverage associated with a history of hair
plucking or repeated electrolysis in the past.
