Female pattern baldness, in which the midline parting of the hair appears broadened, is less common. It is believed to result from a decrease in estrogen, a hormone that normally counteracts the balding effect of testosterone, which normally occurs in women's blood.

Causes of Female Pattern Baldness

Hair grows from its follicle at an average rate of about 1/2 inch per month. Each hair grows for 2 to 6 years, then rests, and then falls out. A new hair soon begins growing in its place. At any one time, about 85% of the hair is growing and 15% is resting.

Baldness occurs when hair falls out but new hair does not grow in its place. The cause of the failure to grow new hair in female pattern baldness is not well understood, but it is associated with genetic predisposition, aging, and levels of endocrine hormones (particulary androgens, the male sex hormones).

Changes in the levels of androgens can affect hair production. For example, after the hormonal changes of menopause, many women find that the hair on the head is thinned, while facial hair is coarser. Although new hair is not produced, follicles remain alive, suggesting the possibility of new hair growth.

The typical pattern of female pattern baldness is different from that of male pattern baldness. The hair thins all over the head, but the frontal hairline is maintained. There may be a moderate loss of hair on the crown, but this rarely progresses to total or near baldness as it may in men.

Hair loss can occur in women for reasons other than female pattern baldness, including the following:

* Temporary shedding of hair (telogen effluvium)
* Breaking of hair (from such things as styling treatments and twisting or pulling of hair)
* Patchy areas of total hair loss (alopecia areata -- an immune disorder causing temporary hair loss)
* Medications
* Certain skin diseases

Female Baldness Treatment

The hair loss of female pattern baldness is permanent. In most cases, it is mild to moderate. No treatment is required if the person is comfortable with her appearance.

The only drug or medication approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat female pattern baldness is minoxidil, used topically on the scalp. For women, the 2% concentration is recommended. Minoxidil may help hair to grow in 20% to 25% of the female population, and in the majority it may slow or stop the loss of hair. Treatment is expensive, however. Hair loss recurs when minoxidil's use is stopped.

Hair transplants consist of removal of tiny plugs of hair from areas where the hair is continuing to grow and placing them in areas that are balding. This can cause minor scarring in the donor areas and carries a modest risk for skin infection. The procedure usually requires multiple transplantation sessions and may be expensive. Results, however, are often excellent and permanent.

Suturing of hair pieces to the scalp is not recommended as it can result in scars, infections, and abscess of the scalp. The use of hair implants made of artificial fibers was banned by the FDA because of the high rate of infection.

Hair weaving, hairpieces, or change of hairstyle may disguise hair loss and improve cosmetic appearance. This is often the least expensive and safest method of treating female pattern baldness.

The hair is not just a part of your body and it is a symbol of beauty, status and health. It is important for you to take proper care of your health in order to prevent early hair loss.

proper good grooming can help prevent hair loss - Avoid using fine-toothed combs on wet hair because it can cause breakage. - Avoid brushing hair when its wet, basically hair is sensitive when wet so the pressure applied by brushes can cause hair loss. - Avoid excessive shampooing because your hair can lose natural minerals like calcium, iron, etc which primarily helps for having a healthy hari. - When shampooing, its recommended to pour the shampoo into your hands then rub it to your hair rather than pouring it directly in the hair. -Do not use hairstyles which requires tying your hair too tight. Instead, keep it in a loose style and less pressured from any tight hair styles like bun or pony tail.

Has your scalp gotten oilier of late? If it has, then you need to wash your hair regularly with a shampoo that helps with scalp control.

Are you more stressed out lately? Or has your diet drastically changed recently? These can cause hair loss too.

So you're a 15 year old gal. I remember that happened with my girl friend- who was your age then -She changed her diets and lost lots of weight. If you're on diets, take vitamin supplements that contains biotin and sms. If you still keep loosing hair alot do see a doctor to look for the underlying cause. Take care!

I'm going to keep a close eye on this question. I have the same problem. It doesn't look obvious but I have to pull it out of the plug hole up to 3 times while I'm washing it just to let the water go down. Have you mentioned it to your doctor?
