Andrognetic Alopecia:
Female Pattern Hair Loss, is also known as an Andrognetic Alopecia.
Every day we shed between 100 and 150 hairs naturally. Hair Loss becomes more visible when more than the 100 – 150 hairs per day are shed.
When hair is shed by the root the one that grows in its place is shorter and weaker, eventually re-growth turns into a fuzz or vellus hair. Female Pattern Hair Loss can start as early as puberty but is most commonly seen after menopause.
Female Pattern Hair Loss can range from mild to severe, in mild cases scalp make-up and hair styling may be enough to mange the problem with more severe cases required additional hair.
