what causes female balding
The cause of failure to grow new hair in female pattern baldness is not well understood, but it is associated with genetic predisposition, aging, and levels of hormones (particularly androgens, the male sex hormones). Changes in the levels of androgens can affect hair production.
Alopecia areata â an autoimmune disease that affects up to 2% of the population. It causes round patches of hair loss and can lead to total baldness. In many cases, the hair regrows. There are about 50 different hair loss disorders among men and women.
