Female Hair Loss

Three Personal Stories, Part I

By the age of 60, up to half of all women will lose a significant amount of their hair. But female hair loss can actually begin much earlier than that – in your 20s, 30s and 40s. In fact, it could be happening to you right now.

Genetic, or inherited, hair loss in women starts like this:

First, your normally healthy, shiny locks start to look a little thin and lifeless. Then you notice more hair than usual coming out in the hairbrush or in the shower.

And one day it dawns on you, as you look at the back of your head in the mirror, that there's a lot more scalp showing through than before.

Regardless of when female hair loss sets in, it's always a horrible moment of realization. Womens hair loss can deliver a sharp blow to your confidence and self image. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Here are the stories of three women with inherited female hair loss and what they did about it.

Three Womens Hair Loss Stories

1. Helen is a 55-year-old who has always had fine, baby-soft hair. But as she got older, her delicate hair became extremely sparse. And her hairdresser found it harder and harder to cover up her scalp with the remaining strands. She told Helen about hair loss in women -- how she likely wouldn't go bald like men do but her hair would gradually become thinner and more difficult to manage. Helen decided to do something about it. (to be continued.)

2. Wendy, 41, is an ambitious career woman working in a busy real estate office. Her hair is very important to her. It's like an accessory, an integral part of the professional image she projects to her clients. She thought she had dodged the genetic bullet of hair loss in women in her family. But when her hairline started receding at the temples and getting thin all over, she knew it was time to face the music. (to be continued.)

3. Carly is a 28-year-old mother of three young children who also works part time as a social worker. When she started noticing the signs of female hair loss last year, she chocked it up to job stress and unbalanced hormones from her last pregnancy. But when she talked it over with her mother, she discovered that it runs in the family. The women, she found, were just as likely as the men to lose their hair. But Carly resolved that it was NOT going to happen to her. (to be continued.)
