As a woman suffering from hair loss, I decided to look into the reasons for hair loss in women and what that means for getting an FUE hair transplant. Los Angeles doctor, Dr. Matt Tahsini was happy to answer my questions and I did some of my own research as well. Women can suffer from hair loss for a variety of reasons and some of them were surprising! A hair transplant for women can be less effective than hair transplants in men because of the types of hair loss.

Certain hairstyles can cause what is known as traction alopecia. If your hair is under constant tension or strain, hair loss can occur over time. This type of hair loss is more common in women because we have long hair and use more tension to get a tight bun, knot, or ponytail. Close to a third of African American women suffer from this condition.

Straightening and braiding can also cause more tension on the scalp, while hair extensions are even worse because your hair is under constant tension and the glue used to attach them can damage and break the hairs. Coloring should not be done frequently as it leaves the hair dry and brittle leading to hair breakage. The best FUE hair transplant can help cover the areas that have suffered hair loss for these reasons. At Los Angeles Hair Institute,Dr. Matt Tahsini recommends avoiding these tight hairstyles if you are losing hair.

If you suffer from hair loss that causes a high forehead or just have a naturally high forehead, you can also get an FUE hair transplant! Los Angeles is full of people that have tried FUE and now have perfect, even hairlines. Even if you do not suffer from hair loss, hair follicles can be harvested from a dense area and transplanted onto the forehead in order to give you a stunning new hairline! This is a perfect example of when to get a hair transplant for women.

Some women have hair loss in the same way as male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia. This condition is easily treated at LA Hair Institute. The hairline recedes and there is thinning at the top of the head. Even though this is more commonly seen in men, women can also develop the condition when their hormone levels fluctuate. Donor hairs can easily be harvested from the lower scalp and be used during the best FUE hair transplant in Los Angeles.

If you have scarring and are concerned about hair loss in the surrounding area, then getting an FUE transplant at Los Angeles Hair Institute is perfect for you. The best FUE hair transplant can be used to help hide scarring from trauma, burns, or other injuries. By harvesting hairs from the back of the scalp, Dr. Matt Tahsini will be able to transplant hairs to the area with scarring. This will hide the scars better once the hairs have time to regrow. It is important to remember that the hair will initially fall out within 2 to 3 weeks after transplantation. Once the hair follicles have settled in, you will notice thin hairs beginning to appear in the transplant area. You will have hair 2 to 3 inches long within 9 months. About 75% of the donor hair will be its ideal thickness by the end of the first year and the final results will be evident by the end of the second year.

If your hair is thinning or falling out on your entire scalp, getting an FUE hair transplant at LA Hair Institute will not increase the number of hairs on your head. Once a hair is removed from the donor area, the donor area will be less dense. Hair can be moved from denser areas to thinner areas in order to give your hair a more even thickness. Certain medical conditions, hormonal changes, or medications can cause hair loss and since the best FUE hair transplant uses your own hair, it will not solve the problem; however, you can still move hair from thicker areas to areas that need more coverage. Address any medical conditions, such as thyroid problems, prior to getting your FUE transplant for the best results.

When learning about what it is like to get a hair transplant for women, I realized that it may be harder to determine what is causing your hair loss; however, there are still ways that an LA FUE hair transplant can benefit women that want to even out the thickness of their hair.
