2. Definition of female alopecia areata

On sensitive hair follicles, dihydrotestosterone binds to androgen receptors. This hormone receptor complex activates genes, causing large terminal hair follicles to gradually transform into miniaturized hair follicles. The small follicles give rise to hairs of varying lengths and thicknesses, which are characteristic of the disease. In women with alopecia areata, these fine hairs are more scattered but are most noticeable on the forehead and top of the scalp. Women usually keep a circle of hair along the frontal hairline. The fine hair, sparse hair pattern, and early onset support the diagnosis of this disorder.

3. Precautions for female alopecia areata

In daily life, try to keep your emotions stable and avoid being anxious and worried. At the same time, you should ensure adequate sleep and avoid excessive fatigue.

So try to use less shampoo containing strong alkaline when washing your hair. Our long-term observations and experiments have shown that the strong alkaline substances in shampoo have a great damaging effect on hair follicles and can accelerate the atrophy of hair follicles.

Treatment should be sought as early as possible. Missing the opportunity for treatment will not only increase the difficulty of cure in the future, but also increase the probability of recurrence.
