In many women, hairloss may result from "female pattern baldness," which can be experienced by women as young as 30 years of age. Female pattern baldness typically presents itself as diffuse thinning that is often noticed first at the temples and on top of the head. This condition is usually progressive; however the rate of progression is slow.

More hair loss in woman. Some women develop a form of "male pattern baldness" in which hairloss is experienced in the typical "U" shape pattern that is common among men. Women with this condition rarely see hairline recession; however, most experience gradual progressive thinning in the frontal and midline areas of the scalp. Generally, hair is maintained in the fringe area, which is the two to four inches of hair closest to the neck and above ears.

Causes of Hair Loss in Men & Women

As the end of the anagen phase approaches, the follicle enters a transitional period called catagen, during which it begins to shrink and become dormant. During this catagen phase, which lasts a few days, the hair remains intact. When the hair's growth stops, the follicle enters the telogen, or resting phase, which lasts approximately three months. Shedding occurs during this phase when the root of the hair, which is held in place by the contracted follicles, is pulled loose by brushing or shampooing. These are often the hairs that we find in our sinks and hairbrushes.

At the end of the telogen phase, the follicle spontaneously reenters the anagen phase and new emerging hair begins to grow.Most individuals shed between 50 and 100 hairs each day. This hairloss does not have a negative effect on a person's appearance because simultaneously, between 50 and 100 hairs enter the growing phase.

Excessive daily shedding may either be caused by some contributing factor. When all aspects of person's life are in harmony, the balance between telogen and anagen usually remains stable.
