• Hair transplantation treatment is not something
  uncommon today. However, most patients that
  undergo the treatment are men. Although women can
  have their hair transplanted but there are very
  few who would fall into this category.
• Formen the donor areas are stable and the hair
  and follicles are not affected by the
  dihydrotestosterone or DHT hormone. This hormone
  shrinks the follicles and blocks the hair from
  growing. This is known as Male Pattern Baldness
  or androgenic alopecia in medical terms. The
  parts which remain unaffected are the back and
  sides of the head.
• Women on the other hand usually suffer from
  diffuse hair loss. In this type of hair loss,
  there is an overall thinning on the head. Unlike
  the men who have safe donor areas, even the back
  and sides are affected leaving no donor areas
  from where hair follicles can be extracted.
• The donor areas in women are unstable. They also
  have to thin problem like the other areas of
  their scalp. The donor areas in women are also
  affected by the follicle blocking DHT. So, when
  the follicles are extracted from these areas and
  placed on the bald parts they are going to fall
  too.

• Any doctor who agrees to transplant hair from an
  unsafe donor area is actually misguiding the
  patient. This is why it is important that you
  pick a reliable clinic for hair transplant. In
  Hyderabad there are some trusted clinics and
  worthy doctors you can look them up.
• Unlike the male pattern baldness where the male
  tends to become bald entirely from the top, for
  females tend to keep the hairline in the front
  and lose the mass of hair from the center of
  their head. Their hair loss is more of thinning
  they tend to lose volume in their hair. Hair
  transplants just give you back the hair they
  dont add extra volume to your head. Hair is
  moved from one part of your head to the other to
  create a balance and save you from looking bald.
• There is a small percentage of women who qualify
  for hair transplant
• Females who have already undergone plastic or
  cosmetic surgery and want to get back hair on the
  incision areas.
• Females who are suffering hair loss because of
  traction alopecia which is a non-hormonal
  condition. Traction alopecia is caused because of
  force applied to the hair while braiding it or
  making ponytails. Females who use barrettes to
  keep hair off their face are also seen to suffer
  from traction alopecia.
• Females who have suffered hair loss because of a
  trauma such as chemical burns, fire burns or have
  scars from accidents.

• Females who have a specific type of pattern
  baldness which is similar to that of male pattern
  baldness. Their scalp should also have a donor
  area which means the sides and back of their
  scalp should remain unaffected by alopecia.
• Females suffering from the condition of alopecia
  marginalis. This is also familiar to traction
  alopecia. The loss of hair is at the hairline and
  continued traction can cause alopecia.
• An experienced doctor who has thorough knowledge
  about hair transplant treatment is the best
  person to advise you on how fruitful the results
  of hair transplant will be. Proper diagnosis will
  decide whether a hair transplant would be
  effective or not. There are several hair
  transplant centers in Hyderabad that offer such
  services. Remember to select a clinic carefully,
  you can check for reviews on the internet or ask
  for advice from friends and family so you can
  have yourself treated in the best place.
