Look at any man with a bald head and while he has probably struggled with it himself, it’s a normal thing to see and not something that causes stares or questions. What is not so common is women who struggle with hair loss but it happens much more than people realize.
Why is female hair loss such a big deal? Here’s why:
Theoretically, women are supposed to have thick, full hair. Long, voluminous hair has been considered a sign of beauty in many cultures. It can affect a woman’s self-esteem. She may feel that it’s one thing for a woman to have short hair but it’s another thing for them to have patches of missing hair.
Female hair loss can be a result of health issues, which can lead to stress and self-worth issues. From polycystic ovary syndrome to alopecia, there are several different causes of female hair loss. These issues are often very difficult for women to go through, especially because some health issues related to hair loss don’t have a long-term cure.
When a woman is diagnosed with a health problem that causes female hair loss, many times doctors don’t take it seriously. They may prescribe simple fixes like the pill or diets but in some cases, these things don’t help and many women don’t know where to turn for help.
What can be done?
Women who suffer from hair loss can find it devastating. While for some issues, there is no cure, there are things that can be done for female hair loss. Here are some of the most common solutions for female hair loss:
Hair restoration-Hair restoration through methods like PRP therapy can help women to be able to grow their own hair naturally, through the stimulation of hair follicles.
Hair replacement-Hair replacement and hair transplants help to provide women with an alternative to using wigs; especially for women who may have long-term issues like alopecia.
Laser hair growth treatment is the latest non-surgical scientific approach to treating hair loss, thinning hair, baldness and problems associated with the scalp. Laser Hair Rejuvenation is a tested, proven method using low level laser energy, or “soft” laser light to effectively treat the appearance of hair loss.
In Conclusion
Women struggle with hair loss on a much deeper level than many men. While men certainly aren’t happy about losing their hair, it’s a “hairstyle” that is much more acceptable than a woman with a bald head.
