The severity and nature of the hair loss may vary depending on the cause. For instance, women who lose their hair due to wearing tight ponytail bands may lose hair solely in the area surrounding the ponytail, whereas a woman experiencing hair loss during her pregnancy may experience an overall thinning of her hair.  There is currently no way to accurately predict exactly how much hair loss will occur based on the underlying causes of the hair loss. However, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible, as this will typically make it more likely to reduce the current hair loss and help restore hair as closely to its original state as possible.

Do Only Older Women Lose Their Hair?

To bring it back to the original question, let us pose it again: do only older women lose their hair? The answer to this all important question is simple: no. Female hair loss is not something solely seen in older women. Women of all ages can experience thinning hair as well as more significant hair loss, whether they are twenty years old, thirty years old, fifty years old—or seventy years old. Hair loss for women does not have an age barrier.

However, despite the fact that hair loss is not exclusive to older women, it’s important to note: older women do have a higher chance of developing hair loss than younger women, as some factors which cause hair loss could be related to aging.

If you are experiencing hair loss, it is important to consult with a professional in order to determine both the nature of the hair loss and the best course of action in regards to treatment and hair restoration. Professional hair restoration services can help restore the look and feel of a woman’s hair in many cases, though results will vary depending on the person and their individual case.
