Why Don't We Hear So Much About Female Baldness? By Peter Crump, Thu Dec 8th
Female baldness is not as common as male baldness, which isprobably why we don’t hear as much about it. Women are moreself-conscious about baldness when it occurs and tend to suffera lot more psychologically because of it than men do. Femalebaldness is often caused by hormones, such as the loss ofestrogen after menopause, genetics (women are just assusceptible to inherited baldness as men) and the natural hairloss that comes with aging. The main difference between male and female baldness is thatwomen do not experience a receding hairline when suffering fromfemale baldness. Baldness solutions also differ for both gendersbecause some of the topical products that are prescribed for mendo cause hair to grow on other parts of the body. The same thingapplies to some of the hair growth pills. Women should contacttheir doctors to find is a baldness solution that is safe forthem to use. There are some topical solutions designed for bothmen and women that have no harmful side effects. The problem ofbaldness is bad enough without adding to it with more problemsfrom products that do cause other conditions. Females are often better candidates for hair transplants thanmen, because of the fact that they do not lose all their hair.In fact total baldness is rare in females. As a baldnesssolution, medical hair restoration for female baldness beginswith a consultation with a hair restoration surgeon. The surgeonwill take a sample of healthy hair and then dissect it under amicroscope
to make hair grafts. These hair grafts are thenfitted precisely onto the bald spots at different angles so thatthey will grow together with the normal hair.
There are also baldness solutions that have promising resultswith female baldness. One of these is a hair growth shampoo thathelps to remover DHT from the scalp. DHT stands forDihydotestosteron, which blocks the hair follicles and is aleading cause of baldness in both men and women. Another way that female baldness differs from that of males isthat females tend to experience bald patches at different placeson their heads or a general thinning of the hair. Women arebetter able to cover up bald patches and often wear stylish wigsthat are indistinguishable from natural hair. The next time youcomplain because you need another haircut, just think of thosethat wish they had hair to cut. So if you are suffering from female baldness talk to yourdoctor, there are things which can be done about it. Don’tsuffer in silence.
