Hair loss feels like an uphill battle for most.  It can make you self-conscious and take away your self-esteem.  Male pattern baldness or “permanent pattern baldness” is the most common reason for balding. In men, more often than not, it is due to genetics. However, hair loss in women does not usually happen in any distinct pattern and tends to be an issue more of thinning hair.  Hormones, menopause, pregnancy, trauma or stress are just a few of the reasons for hair loss or hair thinning in women.
