Those three are all wrong.
Baldness is genetic and is a recessive trait. The gene is on the X chromosome. Men only have one X, so if it contains the baldness gene it will be expressed.
Women do bald. However since women have two X chromosomes and since it's recessive, both of their X chromosomes would have to contain the baldness gene for the trait to be expressed. There are certainly hormonal issues, too. Men can lose their hair in their 20s, but women who will bald don't lose it until the 50s, 60s, or even later. Plus, balding women tend to wear wigs, whereas few men do, so you see the men more.

There are many factors that can attribute to hair recession or massive hair fall and you need to find out which one exactly is responsible for the problem you are having now. Of course male pattern baldness is still the most common cause, but, for instance, if you are a woman things are deinitely different! This is the reason why you will need to really dig down and see the source of your problem.
Other causes of hair loss may include (both in men and women): severe mental or emotional stress, excessive use of coloring or bleaching agents, traction alopecia or excessive strain on the scalp due to braiding or corn rowing, hormonal changes, alopecia areata or hair loss due to autoimmune diseases, and many more. Each of these conditions will require a different approach in order to achieve success regardless of whether you're going to be using conventional or natural methods.
In my opinion it's much better to use natural methods as opposed to conventional ones, they're cheaper, have less to no side effects, and often more effective.
A good way of regaining your full head of healthy natural hair is well described on this guide: http://hairagain.toptips.org

Scientists say that that it is due to one particularly enzyme’s overzealous conversion of testosterone into (DHT) or dihydrotestosterone.

women do lose their hair too, but probably not as common. maybe a hormone thing.
