Hair loss is typically associated with men. And while it is most prominent in men, it’s common in women as well. Female-pattern hair loss (FPHL) is a hereditary condition that affects about 30 million American women and is the most common kind of hair loss that we treat at Apollo Hair Replacement. 
When a normal hair follicle sheds, it is usually replaced by hair that is equal in size. Women with female-pattern hair loss regrow new hair that is finer and thinner. It’s a miniaturized version of itself and as the hair follicles are shrinking over shedding cycles, they eventually quit growing altogether.
All types of women can be affected by hair loss, but it is usually more common in women older than 40, pregnant women or women who recently gave birth, women going through chemotherapy, and women who often have hairstyles that pull on the hair roots or use harsh chemicals on their hair.
Most people lose between 50-100 hairs a day. If you’re consistently losing 150 hairs or more per day, it’s considered significant hair loss. When that happens, some hairs aren’t growing back and this is the onset of Female-pattern hair loss..
FPHL is a hereditary condition where you can use topical treatments, laser hair therapy, or even a hair transplant. But there are other reasons as well, called reactive hair loss. Reactive hair loss is your hair’s reaction to a crash diet, cutting carbohydrate or protein, or using chemicals on your hair. Your hair can react poorly to improper nutrients in your diet and in your body, and obviously to harsh chemicals.
