While it's common to expect some signs of hair loss in men as they grow older, most people don't stop to consider whether the same holds true for women as they age. In fact, many of us completely disregard the possibility of women experiencing signs of hair loss or baldness altogether, especially when it comes to our own hair. Even tell-tale signs of brittleness or weakening, thinner hair are often overlooked, despite their prominent warnings that something may not be quite right or of a bigger issue lurking.
