Fortunately : Fortunately hair loss (alopecia) in women is infrequent, but tends to lead to loss of self esteem more than in men. The underlying causes are aging, hormones and genetics. Attached is a link with good information regarding the problem.

Female Hair Loss: Hair loss in women affects an estimated 40 Million Americans. Women don't go bald, but thinning causes weak volume and coverage. The treatment of female hair loss begins with accurate diagnosis and evaluation by a full-time ABHRS board-certified hair loss specialist. Treatments may include Minoxidil (82M), Laser Therapy (LaserCap), PRP, Nutritionals or hair transplantation in severe cases.
