The hair follicles in women have patterns of sensitivity to androgens just as men do. The female patterns are different to men in detail but usually involve the front of the scalp, just like males. Genetic hair loss in women can occur before menopause. The balance of hormones can vary between individuals, by chance some are nearer to a male balance and, for reasons that are unknown, can fall below the level. Those with hair loss will notice that their partings are getting wider and that the loss is patterned i.e. only in some areas.
