Hair loss is more common in women than is men due to variation in hormone levels seen during menarche, puberty, pregnancy, menopause and use of contraception drugs. This article approaches the clinical features, trichoscopy, treatment option and differential diagnosis of the most common causes of hair loss in women: telogen effluvium, female pattern hair loss, frontal fibrosing alopecia, fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.
