Both men and women experience hair loss, however, it is not as common in women as in men. Female pattern baldness is a type of hair loss that affects women and it is also called androgenetic alopecia. Noticeable hair loss can be deeply distressing. Are you noticing your ponytail getting thinner or your hair partition widening? This could be an indication.

Symptoms of Female Pattern Baldness

It is normal to lose up to 50-100 hair strands a day. However, in female pattern baldness, the hair’s growing phase slows down and the hair does not grow back at the same speed. Early symptoms of female pattern hair loss are as follows:

Understanding Female Pattern Baldness

What causes Female Pattern Baldness?

There are many different causes of hair loss in women, from medical conditions, medications to physical or emotional stress. Moreover, it could also be a result of nutritional deficiency or even lifestyle factors. Hair loss is commonly related to one or more of the following factors:

1. Genetics - This can play a significant role in causing hair loss. Due to family history, one can inherit the gene for pattern baldness from either parent. Over time this type of hair loss can become prominent.

2. Autoimmune disease - Conditions like alopecia areata causes the immune system to attack the roots of the hair. This can eventually result in hair loss in patches.

3. Traction alopecia - Hairstyles that pull the hair too tightly can also cause hair loss in females.

4. Medical conditions or hormonal changes - Changes due to pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid problems can also cause temporary or permanent hair loss.
