Going bald is not just a male thing. But as it pertains to women this topic is rarely discussed in today’s culture. In fact we seldom see a bald headed woman unless she is trying to make a statement be it political, fashion or otherwise. These women shave their heads and go bald by choice such as Sinead O’Connor. Unfortunately some have become bald due to chemotherapy or radiation used to treat cancer. Being bald has never been chic for most women but an embarrassment. It seems when a women looses her hair she is instantly the butt of tasteless jokes. So women who find themselves loosing hair will do almost anything to cover it up. This can mean wearing a wig, hairpiece even a hair implant.
Thinning hair is a common occurrence during menopause. Hair loss (noticeable hair loss called alopecia) is caused by a reduction in levels of estrogen. There are several options to dealing with menopausal hair loss.
