ABOUT FEMALE HAIR LOSS
• Contrary to common belief, women too suffer from
hair loss; they also suffer from baldness just like
men. Hair loss among women is far more common
than many think.
• However, baldness or hair loss in women is not
understood resulting in various myths. People come
up with all sorts of odd notions why their female
friend, colleague or relative is losing their hair.
• The truth is that baldness among women is mainly
caused due to various factors like excess mental
stress, high levels of testosterone (98%) or a flawed
gene.

• Myth: Hair loss is exclusively a men’s problem.
• Fact: Balding is often prevalent among men. It has
always been considered an exclusively male problem.
However, the reality is hair loss is equally common
among women. Surveys indicate that around 49% of
Australian women suffer from Female Pattern Hair Loss
(FPHL) at some point in their life.

Women Baldness – A Fact Check!
• Myth: Excessive use of the birth control pill causes hair
loss.
• Fact: If we had heard this statement in the 1960s or
70s, we might have said that it was in fact true. Earlier
versions of the birth control pill had progesterone
hormones acting like androgen (male) hormones,
which caused hair loss. However, in the past decade,
the pill has come a long way and now has minimum
side effects. Today’s pill is androgen-free, and so it does
not lead to FPHL.

• Myth: Excessive UV rays cause hair loss in women.
• Fact: It is widely known that the use of excessive UV
causes damage to the skin however there is no direct
evidence between UV rays and female hair loss. In fact,
the opposite is true. Vitamin D drives the hair from the
resting phase to the growth phase.

Women Baldness – A Fact Check!
• Myth: Hair loss is permanent in women.
• Fact: Not all hair loss is permanent. Most of the time, it
can be temporary. For example, due to hormonal
changes hair tends to fall out, but in most cases it re-
grows once the hormones return to normal levels.
Further, hair loss can be slowed and reversed thanks to
a variety of treatments. There are different treatments
for various types and stages of hair loss. They range
from topical lotions, oral medication and laser
treatment.
