Female Pattern Baldness

Female Pattern Baldness

As we grow older, our slowing metabolisms can make it harder and harder to stay thin. But the one thing that seems to get thinner without much effort is our hair. You may find your hair sheds more a few months after a stressful event. It’s not uncommon to find you’re losing more hair about two months after giving birth. It can also occur after undergoing surgery.

Real hair loss (or) female pattern baldness (the most common type of hair loss among women) is different. The female pattern baldness is that, over time the hair follicle shrinks and eventually stops growing new hair. The part in your hair may get wider or your ponytail may lose its bulk. There’s an unusually large amount of hair on your pillow when you wake or there’s a lot in the comb or brush, even though you brushed softly and without tugging. This type of hair loss usually begins in midlife but can begin earlier.
