On the whole, there are still relatively fewer female hair loss sufferers in Singapore than male hair loss sufferers, just look at the street, one will spot a balding man here and there but less often, a balding woman. That is also probably why we have the term ‘Male Pattern Baldness’ to describe the genetic balding in males. But we should not be naïve, there is also a symptom called the female pattern baldness!
I have read that usually no matter how a woman bald, her front will still be ‘protected’, thus I was very surprised when I saw a bald lady in the MRT last Saturday. She was almost 100% bald…
She is a woman and is bald.. imagine she has to bear the stares of passer-bys each day. I am a man.. I should be braver and act like a man.. balding shouldn’t matter to me much, though I would try my best to protect my hair.
