Hair loss is too often thought to be a male only disease, but in truth, one in four women in the U.S. experience hair loss or thinning. Our society has created a stigma around women’s hair loss that leaves women feeling isolated and abnormal. For many women their confidence level and self-esteem is directly connected to how they perceive their attractiveness. Experiencing hair loss is emotionally and mentally draining, and women who experience hair loss sometimes consider themselves “less of a woman.” And the constant anxiety regarding hair loss can lead to further health problems that cause increased hair loss.
It is time to take back your confidence, restore your health, and feel beautiful again. The first step is to understand your condition and remember that it is normal for women to experience hair loss or thinning. For many women, thinning and baldness are natural changes that occur, but hair loss can also be caused by disease, medical treatments, and chemotherapy.
