Women who experience hair loss can find it to be a very traumatic experience.  There is a great deal of emphasis placed on the appearance of a woman’s hair and her looks in general.  A woman obtains most of her self-confidence and esteem from her appearance.  While that may be a sad state of affairs it is the truth for many people.  Men in the same situation are not as poorly looked upon as unattractive when they lose their hair.

Young girls will learn how women are supposed to behave from the women that are in their life.  If the women around them, older sisters and mother, are primping in front of a mirror a great deal of the time, the young girl will learn that her looks are the most important part of her.

If that same young girl grows up and loses her hair, she will be lost in regards to how she is supposed to behave.  Her self-esteem will be gone and she will believe that the best part of her is lost.
