FPB

Each strand of hair sits in a tiny hole in the skin called a follicle. In general, baldness occurs when the hair follicle shrinks over time, resulting in shorter and finer hair. Eventually, the follicle does not grow new hair. The follicles remain alive, which suggests that it is still possible to grow new hair.

What is the cause of female pattern baldness?

Causes

• Aging.
• Changes in the levels of androgens (hormones that can stimulate male features)
• Family history of male or female pattern baldness.
