Contrary to common beliefs, women do experience hair loss nearly as frequent as men. Some suggest that the majority of women do experience some form of hair loss or thinning hair by the time they turn 50.

Without a doubt, hair loss is many times more traumatic for women than it is for men.  It can have a devastating effect over their self-esteem. Hair extensions and hair perms can camouflage the hair loss but can also damage and increase the hair damage making the problem worse.

Fortunately, a correct diagnosis and evaluation can help determine the possible cause for the hair loss and correct it before it is too late. Treatments for both female androgenetic alopecia and non-genetic causes differ from men’s treatment because a different approach is needed in order to achieve success.
