2. EMOTIONAL CONSEQUENCES OF FEMALE HAIR LOSS Thinning hair and baldness take a great emotional toll on women far more than men. The reason is that male baldness is considered normal in society. A woman is viewed as less feminine and attractive when she does not have healthy, full hair.

3. HAIR LOSS IN WOMEN Approximately one-third of women experience hair loss at some point in their lifetime, yet the subject remains one of the least discussed in the medical community. Female baldness is also difficult to diagnose because women tend to lose hair from their entire scalps rather than specific areas like male hair loss. The Hair Transplant Center of Atlanta, led by Dr. Frederick T. Work, Jr., treats hair loss for women who live in and around Buckhead, Vinings, and Sandy Springs.

4. NON-AGA CAUSES Other common factors that lead to hair loss in women are: Damage caused by fungi, infections, viruses and bacteria. Trichotillomania, a nervous disorder in which the person pulls out their hair. Loose-anagen syndrome that occurs when the hair is brushed and is most common in women with light-colored hair. Alopecia areata that is believed to be an autoimmune response. Scarring alopecia that describes hair loss associated with scars from injuries and surgeries.
