American Academy of Dermatology says that about 30 million women in the US are affected by some form of hair loss and it is a growing problem. When hair loss is severe it becomes more complex than a mere cosmetic concern and affects the self esteem of the sufferer profoundly. Hair loss in women may be due to many different reasons such chronic illness or just normal aging.

Female pattern hair loss normally starts at around age 30 though it is clearly visible only after menopause. Women losing hair due to a genetic problem is very rare. It is usually caused by hormonal imbalance during or after pregnancy, menopause, taking birth-control pills etc. Certain medications and use of harsh chemical shampoos, perming lotions, hair coloring agents, bleach, blow drying and even wrong combing and brushing.

Another theory explains the difference in female pattern hair loss is based on the angle of hair follicles and the sebum, a kind of oil produced by the scalp because of that. The angle of hair growth in females allows the sebum to flow off unlike in men the upward hair growth blocks this oil. Sebum causes baldness where hair does not grow again.
