To many people, hair loss is a condition that affects only men. However, the reality is that hair loss affects both men and women every day. The difference between the two is the way the hair loss occurs. For men, it is typically a full out loss, extremely noticeable and a bald spot ensues. However, for women, hair loss is typically gradual and starts with thinning before it becomes noticeable and a major problem. While it's rare to see a woman with a big bold spot on the side of her head; you will begin to notice that the hair is becoming thinner, and more of the scalp will start peaking through over time.
