Pattern baldness is something commonly seen in men as they start aging due to heredity, medical conditions or treatments, and even stress. Many think that pattern baldness only happens to men but truth be told, women can also experience pattern baldness. According to Harvard Health Publications, female pattern baldness starts with thinning hair at the part-line. As the condition develops, more of the hair begins to thin causing hair loss to occur in a circular pattern at the top of the head. It is less common to see women experiencing hair loss but it can also happen due to heredity, aging, change in hormone levels, stress, etc.

Each hair strand has its own follicle to grow from. The hair strand’s growing phase lasts from 2 to 6 years, then the hair falls and new hair starts growing. Baldness occurs when hair sheds from the follicle and new hair fails to grow in its place. The actual reason for female pattern baldness has not been discovered yet but evidence shows it may be related to aging, family history, or change in the levels of androgens (male hormones).

The most common symptom is hair thinning mainly on the top and crown of the scalp. There’s no significant change in the frontal hairline and hair loss rarely progresses to total baldness as commonly seen in male pattern baldness.

With pattern baldness, the hair that is lost may not grow back if it goes untreated. There are several options available for treatment such as Laser Hair Therapy, Hair Transplantation, and Hair Restoration all proudly offered here at Transitions of Indiana.
