Women suffer from genetic
thinning more often than outright baldness, with perhaps 15 per
cent of women experiencing frontal balding and developing a pattern
similar to Norwood classifications Class IIIA or IVA pattern of
balding, which is more often seen in men. What this type of hair
loss means, is that the balding goes from front to back, and when
a woman suffers from this type of hair loss she may or may not lose
the front 1/3 inch of hair but the hair extending as far back as
about 3 inches may become very bald or very thin.
When women suffer from this type of genetic hair loss or thinning
of the hair, they tend to treat the condition themselves using hair
systems which clip onto existing hair. The use of these types of
hair attachments is more often than not a styling decision intended
to thicken finer hair, because the holy grail for women is to achieve
thick, luxurious hair. This is the type of hair which is promoted
in magazines and television ads at a cost of billions of dollars
every year.
For women there are three main options for attaching a hair system
to your natural hair:
- Clips which attach close to the scalp.
- Weaves, in which a small hair system is woven into the hair.
- Wefts, whereby long strips of hair are glued into the base of
the hair.
African women can all too often be prone to alopecia, which is
the medical term for hair loss. The use of thermal or chemical hair
straightening products and hair braiding or weaving are styling
techniques which can often place African American women at greater
risk of various forms of traumatic alopecia than their Caucasian
counterparts. For example, tight braids which have been used to
pull back the hair since early childhood can cause a substantial
amount of traction alopecia in African American women. This has
resulted in many African American women having to wear full wigs
because the hair on both sides (which is often lost from the traction
alopecia) can not be easily hidden with even a small wig or any
other hair replacement system.
