One of the least engaging facts about getting older is that a significant number of women also experience hair loss. Hair loss takes most women by surprise, and for some, the effects can be embarrassing and depressing. Join our panel of experts as they explain the causes and warning signs of hair loss in women . All women have some of the male hormone testosterone in their bodies, but women with androgenetic alopecia are more sensitive to the hormone.
