Female Balding

Female balding is a sensitive issue for many women. A lush, luxurious mane of hair has traditionally signaled good health, youth, and beauty. However, approximately 21 million women in the U.S. experience significant hair loss. This can be highly embarrassing and hamper sufferers' careers and love lives.

What causes female balding? As with men, there are many factors to consider. For some women, heredity plays a role. Also, many women experience female balding after giving birth. This is because during pregnancy, hair growth is stimulated to a high degree. Instead of 85 percent of the follicles being active while 15 remain dormant, all of the follicles are producing hair at once. After a woman has given birth, however, her fluctuating hormone levels can lead to temporary hair loss, as the follicles shed their hair.

Look Closely to Recognize the Signs of Female Balding

Female balding, no matter what the cause, tends to present itself differently than traditional male pattern baldness. Instead of a receding hairline or bald spot, women tend to experience thinning throughout the scalp. Because of this, female balding may go undetected at first. Many times, this excessive hair loss isn't noticed until 50 percent of the hair is already gone!
