Women’s Hair Loss
Despite the common conceptions, hair loss affects women as much as it does men. Although women can disguise their hair loss by colouring and styling, hair loss can still be a particularly devastating occurrence.
Male hair loss is often viewed as a common condition and it culturally acceptable for men to lose hair. Female hair loss, however, is far less common and is not seen as an acceptable norm which only adds to the stigma of those suffering.
A woman’s self confidence can be thoroughly affected by hair loss, which is why some women look at hair transplant options. A successful hair transplant women can obtain will depend on hair loss pattern, hair type and results they wish to achieve.
Female hair loss is different to men’s as women usually retain their frontal hairline but experience thinning out of the mid scalp and crown hair. Sometimes hair transplant women receive is not suitable and is less effective than it is for men. The National Hair Institute offers a free consultation to ensure you obtain sound hair loss advice before undertaking a treatment for loss of hair.

The Ludwig Hair Loss Scale
Doctors created a series of charts to classify the severity of hair loss for both men and women. As mentioned previously, women lose hair on a different scale to men, which is why there is a separate chart for women’s hair loss.
The Ludwig Scale was designed to classify female pattern hair loss and enables doctors to measure and distinguish the severity of the problem. Before a hair transplant for women occurs, doctors will establish which transplant will work to achieve the highest results.
The Ludwig Scale ranges from one to three and helps hair loss experts determine which hair treatment will work best for each female patient.
A Successful Hair Transplant for Women
Improvements in hair transplantation techniques have allowed women of all ages to be treated for hair loss. Here at the National Hair Institute, we take every care to ensure each hair transplant women obtain is tailored to their specific requirements.
We have the technology and years of expertise to assess female patients who in the past would have been rejected as unsuitable hair falling treatment. The advancement in hair transplant techniques has provided us with the capabilities to offer a hair transplant to women suffering from hair loss.
With a National Hair Institute hair transplant, women can:
- Gain thicker hair in thinning areas without damage to or removal of existing hair follicles
- Obtain a relatively high density in treated areas
- Gain minimal scarring in both donor and recipient sites.
