While a man losing hair is quite common, for some reason, nobody expects hair loss in women to also happen. A woman, with all her innate desire to remain attractive, faces a different challenge in her life should she be starting to lose her hair.

Hair loss is not simply a cosmetic problem. To a woman, losing her hair could trigger psychological, and self-image issues. It may make her change the way she feels about herself and her partner.

But don’t jump off a tall building just yet! A great many methods and treatments have been studied that not only help men with hair loss, but can also help with hair loss in women. If you are a woman who is suffering from hair loss, here are some ways you can treat it.

Hair Transplant - A hair transplant is performed by removing tiny groupings of hair from the areas where hair growth is still thick. These so-called "hair plugs" are then placed in the balding areas to regrow. This procedure is usually done in several sessions, and can be quite expensive. Possible side effects may include the development of scars, and the possibility of some infection in the area of removed hair. Overall, this procedure is very good, and the results are permanent.

Using Minoxidil - Minoxidil is more commonly known as Rogaine. This is the only medication that is used to prevent hair loss, and is applied topically on the scalp. There is a slight difference in formulation for hair loss in men, and for hair loss in women. For women, a 2% concentration is advised. This drug has proven to be effective in 20% to 25% of the women that have used it. The remaining women observed that the loss of their hair had slowed down, or had stopped altogether. The downside of using this product is the time element, and the fact that this solution can be relatively expensive. Users would need to wait about 6 months or more until good results can be noticed. Also, should the user stop the applications of minoxidil, hair loss may begin again.
