Hair Loss in Women
Though Hair Loss in Men may seem like a more prominent problem, Hair loss in women is nearly as common. Female Pattern Baldness like its male counterpart is genetic with Hair Loss being passed down from parents to their children. However, unlike men, women are less likely to develop female pattern baldness before the age of 30-40. Female Pattern Baldness is more likely to occur post menopause.

Causes of Female Pattern Baldness
Its normal to lose 50 – 100 strands of hair each day and this loss would not result in any visible reduction in hair density. Women suffering from Female Pattern Baldness lose hair from all over the head, generally starting from the part line becoming more prominent.
The most common cause of Female Pattern Baldness or Female Androgenetic Alopecia is genetic. The duration of the growth phase (anagen) reduces while the duration of the resting phase(telogen) increases resulting in an increase in very fine (vellus) hair production and progressive hair miniaturisation . With age the hair continues to shrink, until the hair does not grow back.
