Why do women go bald?
Female pattern baldness similar to male pattern baldness is mainly genetics and hormones.
In the female body in a normal state there is a male hormone - testosterone. This hormone undergoes natural changes in our body and turns into an androgen called dehydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a hormone that suppresses normal hair growth.
A woman's sensitivity to this hormone is inherited.
A young woman has enough additional hormones such as estrogen that know how to deal with and neutralize the side effects of DHT. As women grow older, the amount of hormones such as the estrogen hormone decreases in the body and there are fewer who will fight the damage caused to the hair follicles and the normal activity of hair growth on the head. The growth cycles are affected and shedding begins which becomes accelerated and eventually baldness can also occur. Female pattern baldness is never complete because women always have, in addition to damaged follicles, hair follicles that are not sensitive to the hormonal damage of DHT and manage to maintain normal activity.
To describe hair loss in women, there is another scale that characterizes different stages in the balding process - the Ludwig scale for female hair loss:

Women can suffer from hair loss after giving birth, this is also considered a common phenomenon due to extreme hormonal changes of the woman during and after pregnancy, different and lacking nutrition during pregnancy due to difficulty eating normally, or after trauma to the body - extreme stress, mental stress, depression and anxiety, poor nutrition , extreme diets, diseases and drugs that characterize female diseases.
Even pulling the hair back into a killer ponytail and tightening it with a rubber band has been described in studies as something that can damage the hair follicles and can cause them to weaken.
