Mistakenly thought to be a condition that only affects men. There is no surprise that women suffer in silence by altering their hairstyle to hide thinning hair or patches of bald spots.
For most women, female pattern hair loss begins in midlife or earlier for some women. The cause of female pattern hair loss is likely linked to genetics, aging, and levels of endocrine hormones. The hormonal process of testosterone converting to dihydrotestosterone ( DHT) which occurs in both men and women have been known to trigger hair loss and inhibits hair growth.
What’s the most common cause of female hair loss?
Female-pattern hair loss can be inherited from either the mother or father. This condition is also
known as Androgenetic alopecia and can start as early as late teens or earlier. Besides female
pattern hair loss, thinning hair happens in women for many different reasons:

– Alopecia area ( an immune disorder causing temporary hair loss)
– Breaking of hair due to styling treatments and pulling of hair
– Vitamin deficiency
– Certain medications
– Particular skin diseases
– Hormonal abnormalities
– Stress
