hormonal imbalances or illness...also heredity can be a factor

Genetics

It's just like men. Men are more often bald, though, because baldness is a dominant trait in men (they get two genes--one from the mom, one from the dad--if one of them is a bald gene, he will go bald), but it is recessive in females (both genes have to be the bald gene).

I suspect it's the same answer for women as for men - it's probably a family trait.

Genetics, some medications and illnesses may cause your hair to thin out and fall out.

yeah well it is in your genes

but...you actually get the baldness for the maternal side

thaat explains why..sorta

well hope i helped!

Often it has to do with a malfunctioning thyroid....too low iodine in your system....can cause hair to fall out....

too much testosterone in the blood combined with heredity
