Hair loss is a common problem in women, with variable causes. As in men, the main cause is related to genetics and hormones. Hair loss is often diffuse with preservation of the frontal line.
In most cases, hair loss in women is often diffuse, which reduces hair density and volume overall, including in the usual harvesting area at the back of the skull useful in hair implantology.
In androgenetic alopecia in women, there is a hereditary and hormonal character in patients with these disorders. Male-type hormones then promote the secretion of sebum and hair loss.
These hormonal disorders often result in clinical and biological abnormalities, which may require specific assessment and endocrinological management.
The evolution of female alopecia is included in the Ludwig classification , which allows the patient's stage of baldness to be assessed. Stage 1 : Hair loss on the top of the head, in the form of thinning of the hair. Respect of the frontal line. Stage 2 : Increase in stage 2. Significant loss of volume. Stage 3 : Terminal stage. Very advanced alopecia, with persistence of the frontal area.

This is a temporary hair loss, without miniaturization. Sometimes seasonal (spring, autumn), following childbirth, trauma, surgery, diet, high fever, or linked to a thyroid problem or taking medication or iron deficiency...
We then observe a sudden synchronization of the follicles in the terminal phase (telogen), which will cause significant hair loss, a loss of mass often badly experienced by patients.
This is another cause of hair loss in patches, linked to the compulsive pulling out of one's own hair and/or hair. It affects both adults and children (often transient in the latter), and may require psychological help.
Hair loss is the result of excessive traction (bun, African braids, hair pulled back too far). The hair then tends to break and fall out, resulting in a greater proportion of hair falling out compared to hair growing. This repeated pulling leads to progressive fibrosis (scarring) in the areas that are often pulled.
The diagnosis is often clinical. It is often confirmed by an analysis of the skin of the scalp, the hair and sometimes a blood test.
Depending on the hair loss mechanism and the degree of alopecia, a treatment plan will be proposed which may combine medication and/or hair implantology.
First of all, you will need to be careful not to damage your hair too much and avoid washing it too frequently, straightening it, pulling it too hard, etc.
