Facts About Woman's Hair Loss

• Approximately 30 million women (or one in four) experience hereditary women's hair loss and baldness

• 50% of women will experience a woman's hair loss by middle age

• Your hair is at its thickest by age 20. Once you pass 20, however, your hair gradually begins to thin, shedding more than the normal 40-100 hairs a day

• 40% of women never expect women's hair loss or baldness to happen to them

• Fine hair is both a precursor for and consequence of hair thinning. Women who experience hair loss have a disproportionately high rate of fine hair before they start losing hair

• The chance of experiencing hair loss is almost twice as high for women with fine hair as for women with thick / full hair

In fact, even those who did expect women's hair loss to occur are caught by surprise, facing hair loss nearly five years earlier than anticipated.

Not only is woman's hair loss an appearance issue, but it also causes severe emotional stress for most women. The study reported that women have a difficult time confronting women's hair loss. For example, women 50 and under report feeling a "severe emotional blow." They admit to feeling scared (29%), embarrassed (47%), unattractive (15%), and paranoid (28%)

I have had severe hair loss after the death of my husband 10 years ago. My hair was always somewhat thin. I wear a wig every day because I will not be seen without it.
