Hair Loss in Women
Request a Same-Day Appointment: 216.444.6601
Hair loss in women is just that — when a woman experiences unexpected heavy loss of hair. Generally, people shed from 50 to 100 single hairs per day. Hair shedding is part of a natural balance — some hairs fall out while others grow in. When the balance is interrupted — when hair falls out and less hair growshair in — hair loss happens. Hair loss is different than hair shedding. The medical name for hair loss is alopecia.
