HAIR LOSS IN WOMEN
We can never deny the fact that for women hair is an indispensable and inseparable part of their armour of charm and beauty. So, women take hair loss as a serious threat to their looks and the impressions they make on people around.
There is a heavy amount of psychological sickness behind hair loss in women. Women place a greater emphasis than men on physical appearances and outward attractiveness. Societal norms dictate that hair is an essential part of a woman’s sexuality and gender identity and any hair loss generates feelings of low self-esteem and anxiety from a perception of diminished attractiveness. Women are more likely than men to have a lowered quality of life and to restrict social contacts as a result of hair loss.
FEMALE PATTERN THINNING
Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) has emerged as the preferred term for androgenetic alopecia in females owing to the uncertain relationship between androgens and this entity. It is characterised by a reduction in hair density over the crown and frontal scalp with retention of the frontal hairline.
The reasons for female pattern baldness have not been well understood, but they may be related to:
- Aging
- Changes in the levels of androgens (male hormones). For example, after reaching menopause, many women find that the hair on their head is thinner, while the hair on their face is coarser.
- Family history of male or female pattern baldness
- Post pregnancy hair loss
Like a garden, a normal hair cycle should lead to a product, which is the hair. Growth cycles are important because when they go awry, that is one of the reasons we have hair loss.” Hair loss is always subjective irrespective of gender. Being your best self can never go out of style, be it, men or women.
