Answer: No If you don't have good donor hair you are not a good candidate for hair transplant surgery. This applies to both men and women. As of 2015 there is no medical or surgical cure for hair loss.

Answer: Women and hair loss I would go for an evaluation for why your hair is thinning. This may involve lab testing and possibly a biopsy of the thinning area. If a reversible cause is found such as iron deficiency, then you may have found a solution. As for donor area, I would discuss this with a hair transplant specialist who can better assess your scalp. You may also want to consider low level light or minoxidil.

Answer: Female pattern hair loss If you don't have enough hair for a transplant and assuming a diagnosis has been made and either treatment hasn't worked or you don't want to go down that route, there are still some options. Camouflage products work really well or you could consider hair pieces or a wig.I'm sorry you find yourself in this situation.

Answer: Poor donor area - options for women Many women don't have a good donor area - and this makes them unable to have a hair transplant. Only women with good donor hair (meaning lack of miniaturization and lack of thinning) are good candidates. In general, what are the options for women with poor donor hair? Minoxidil, hormone blocking pills, low level laser and platelet rich plasma. In answer to your question about genetic testing, there is no such testing available. There is alot of great research being done but no cure yet.
