There’s No Denying It, Female Hair Loss Feels Humiliating

Hair loss is a fact of life for men. Around half the male population will experience hair loss at some time in their lives. And if a man feels more masculine with hair, he has options. Many can still grow a thick, beautiful beard and remain clean-shaven.

But for women suffering from female hair loss, there are no options to “redistribute” their hair in another spot and feel feminine. The only place hair is usually acceptable on a woman is on top of her head.

Sure, things have changed a little. Some women have underarm or leg hair. But if they decide that it doesn’t work for them anymore, they can shave it off. It’s a rare woman who decides to shave her head. In general, thick, glossy hair is something women desire. So, when they see thinning happening, it doesn’t seem fair, and they can feel humiliated.

Women fought hard for equality under the law and in the workplace. And they’ve “come a long way, baby” since the 1970s. Today, women are equal to men in much of society. Hair loss rejuvenation is not one of the spaces any woman fought for, but women can still experience it. And there is good news. Over time, hair restoration technology has progressed. Robotic hair transplantation is available for women, too.

Females Can Feel Empowered by Hair Restoration, Too

One-third of women will experience female hair loss, which is less than men’s, yet it can feel more impactful. thinning hair on a woman is still not considered “socially acceptable.” And although no one will shame a woman if they see her balding, they will assume it’s due to an illness like cancer.

Because there is a certain stigma attached to female hair loss, the general public doesn’t realize it can happen because of genetics or hormonal changes. People will mostly think it’s due to sickness and may feel sympathy for a balding woman. Although understandable, a strong woman may not appreciate it when people feel sorry for her. That can translate to believing she cannot handle things at her best. And that is a serious misunderstanding!

Women are fearless. They are trailblazers. And many times, they have proven to have more grit than males (try to handle a toddler, a job, and a household guy)!
