It's important to know that female hair loss is no any less serious than male hair loss. A lot people especially women have the perception that hair loss usually occurs in men only and less common for women. If you are one of them, THINK TWICE again.

Hair loss in women as a matter of fact is just as serious as in men but the emotional impact for women is generally more significant. Most people's mentalities accept balding men but when a woman loses her hair, it's a devastating endeavor to her and her self-esteem.

While most men usually face genetic hair loss at an early age, women tend to lose their hair later in their adulthood. The few most common female hair loss conditions are

• Menopause related hair loss
• Postpartum Hair Loss
• Female Pattern Baldness
• Thyroid Problems

If your hair loss condition is sudden and it's not related to post-pregnancy, then it might be related to stress and you should check out the Telogen Effluvium section for more information. The Hair Loss Diseases page also has lists of uncommon hair loss conditions for your reference.

The main difference between most women and men is that women's hair thin out all over the scalp while men's condition usually resembles a pattern. Depending on the condition and health status, the hair can thin rapidly all over the scalp which is much harder to treat compared to men.

Moreover, when it comes to treatment options, women are left behind because most of the treatments like Propecia are targeted for men only. Even hair transplants are not that effective to treat a large area of diffuse thinning.

Women's hair loss is mainly related to their body's rhythm, hormones and underlying conditions and you will need to address these conditions first to stop the hair loss. So keep yourself updated with the late female hair loss news and keep informed on the newest treatments and solution for your hair loss problems.
