Hair loss is usually thought of as a problem that happens only to men, but did you know that women make up 40% of hair loss sufferers in the U.S.? The most common cause of hair loss in women is “Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL),” very similar to “Male Pattern Baldness.” In FPHL, the hair thins mostly on the top and crown of the scalp. Women typically won’t go completely bald but their hair can thin out quite a bit. The truth is hair loss affects thousands of women and yet few will openly talk about it.
