Women, do you think that you might be
losing
your hair? Does it seem as though
you have seen alot of hair on the brush
lately? Does your scalp appear to be thinning
more than most ladies? Chances are that
you are a women who is experiencing female
hair loss. Here, you will learn how much
hair is normal to lose, the patterns in
which hairloss in women can occur in,
and whether or not a transplant will work
for you.
How much of a loss is too much?
If you have noticed that you have been losing hair lately, you
are probably wondering how much is normal to lose and how much is
too much. It is normal for a person to lose between fifty and one
hundred strands of hair a day. If you notice what seems to be a
significantly larger amount of hair fall than this, you are most
likely experiencing female hair loss.
Female pattern baldness?
There are several ways in which women's
hair loss can occur. The first and
most common way is when the hair begins
to thin from the top in a gradual manner,
directly behind the hair line. This
is referred to as the Ludwig pattern.
The second most common way that hair
is lost is when the women experiences
hair loss due to telogen effluvium.
With this condition, hair is lost in
a pattern so that the hair thins from
the front
hairline to the crown. Another common
pattern in which hair is lost is when
it occurs throughout the entire scalp.
This hair loss pattern is referred to
as diffuse
alopecia, and is by far the most
serious female hair loss pattern. Another
rare way in which hair loss can occur
is in a “Christmas tree pattern,”
where the hair thins in a zigzagged
sort of pattern on the top. There is
much evidence that now supports the
role of DHT
in the gradual thinning and miniaturization
of hair follicles.
Do hair
transplants work for everyone who
experiences female hair loss?
Although it would be wonderful if hair
transplants worked for everybody who
received them that were going through
hair loss, this is not the case. Majority
of the time, these restoration
techniques work the best for women whose
hair has been lost in the Ludwig pattern.
Ladies that experience diffuse alopecia
pattern are not suitable for hair transplants.
There is not enough replaced
hair that is donated that is suitable
enough to be transplanted into a person
who has lost their hair in the diffuse
alopecia pattern.
