Hair loss in women.(Women's Health Advisor)

What is abnormal hair loss?

It is normal to lose about 100 to 125 hairs a day from your scalp. However, hair loss may be a problem when you lose more than 125 hairs a day from your head, or when new hair does not grow back to replace lost hairs. You may also lose hair from other parts of the body. The loss of hair may be temporary or permanent, depending on the cause.

How does it occur?

There are several types of hair loss in women:

* female-pattern baldness

* local hair loss

* general hair loss.
