In women, the pattern of hair loss is different, as compared to men. Hereditary factors do play an important role, as does hormonal imbalance which may usually occur post-pregnancy or during menopause. The hair usually starts thinning and the hair loss is most noticeable with the widening of the middle parting. The hair density is usually reduced over the frontal and crown area.
The severity in women has 5 grades according to the Ludwig classification. A detailed investigation by the dermatologist and a proper treatment designed according to your needs and deficiencies will help reduce hair fall and reverse the condition.
