Female hair loss occurs in more than one pattern. Being a woman with loss of scalp hair, you ought to look for professional advice from a medical hair doctor. In most cases, female hair loss can be effectively treated. If you are a woman who has started to lose scalp hair, you are not alone if:

• You are unpleasantly surprised by the hair loss
• You don’t understand why you are losing hair

The patterns of hair loss in women are not as easily recognizable as those in men. In contrast to hair loss in men, female scalp hair thinning may commonly begin at any age through 50 or even later, may not have any evident inherited association, and may not begin in a recognizable “female pattern hair loss” of spread thinning over the top of the scalp. A woman who notices the beginning of hair loss may not be positive if the loss is going to be short-term or lasting, for example, if there has been a recent event such as pregnancy or illness that can be associated with short-term balding. In women as in men, the most likely cause of scalp hair loss is Androgenic alopecia (also known as androgenetic alopecia, alopecia androgenetica, alopecia totalis or alopecia areata) - an inherited sensitivity to the effects of androgens (male hormones) on scalp hair follicles. However, women with hair loss due to this cause usually do not develop true baldness in the patterns that occur in men, for example, women rarely develop the “cue-ball” appearance often seen in male-pattern androgenetic alopecia. Patterns of female androgenetic alopecia can differ noticeably in form. Patterns that may occur include:

• Diffuse thinning of hair over the entire scalp, often with more noticeable thinning toward the back of the scalp.
• Diffuse thinning over the entire scalp, with more noticeable thinning toward the front of the scalp but not involving the frontal hairline.
• Diffuse thinning over the entire scalp, with more noticeable thinning toward the front of the scalp, involving and sometimes breaching the frontal hairline.

It is vital to note that female pattern hair loss can start as soon as the late teens to early twenties in females who have went through early puberty. If left untreated, this hair loss associated with early puberty can progress to more advanced balding.  

There are many options available for female hair loss treatment such as topical hair solutions and surgical transplants. However, surgical treatment is extremely costly and is usually out of the budget for most people. There are highly effective treatments available which can halt hair loss, and reverse it entirely.
