Women?s hair loss is biologically and psychological different from men?s, so why do hair-loss specialists treat a woman the same as they treat a man? In fact, many treat them worse! ?Oh, another neurotic woman? is what some women feel many specialists are secretly thinking as they are ushered out the office! Some of the things that have been said to women about their hair loss would make your hair curl!. The emotional and quality of life effects of hair loss for women are usually far greater than for men. Women often need more time in a consultation and need more emotional support from both the hair-loss specialist and his or her office staff. The etiology of women?s hair loss can be much more complicated than men?s, therefore, a multi-treatment approach is usually warranted. For instance, it may be necessary to combine many different therapies to achieve successful outcomes. The quality of life and psychology factors of women?s hair loss are discussed, as are the things to say to help a woman with hair loss as well as the things NOT to say. Additionally, empirical evidence of the success of a multi-treatment approach to treating female hair loss will be presented.
