Today, while looking through a stack of possible pictures for Facebook, I found one I really liked, until I noticed that I have recently developed a bald patch. Problem? I am a 22 year old woman. FML

Today, I looked at pictures of myself from 20 years ago when I was a teenager and realized I have only about a quarter of my hair left. I'm a woman. FML

Today, someone told me I have male pattern baldness; they thought so because I apparently have a "receding hairline." It's always been this way, I checked my pictures from the time I shaved my head when I was 16. FML

Today, at 21 years of age, my doctor confirmed that I am, indeed, going bald. It wouldn't be such a bad thing, even expected, if I wasn't a woman. FML

Today, I noticed several grey streaks in my hair while putting it in its usual combover. I'm only 18 years-old, and my hair was once one of my greatest sources of pride. FML

Today, I had to accept the fact that I'm going bald, after I noticed the hair on my chest is longer than the hair on my head. FML

Today, I was finally confident enough to buzz half my hair off into the style I've wanted since I was young. Turns out that I have a particularly large and angry-looking skin problem across my scalp that may well have been there for years. It'll take months to grow back. FML

Today, I realized how bad my grey hair problem has gotten as I noticed I had grey pubes. I'm only 23. FML

Today, I have alopecia areata and I constantly have reappearing bald spots all over my head. I cannot properly grow a beard, and one of my eyes has no eyelashes. However, my nose hair seems to grow at the rate of an old man on biotin. FML

Today, I found out, after having my third and last child, that I'm balding. I'm only 23 and quite frankly It's very much noticeable. How did I find out? My four-year-old daughter pointed it out to me, saying, "Mommy, why you shed like the dog?" FML

Perhaps you should smell your shampoo to make sure no one replaced it with Nair.

I had that in high school and when I got into college they finally diagnosed me with Alopecia Areata. You should look it up, you might have that. They put me on allergy medicine to help and so far I haven't gotten one since.

See a doctor about it because i didnt know girls could go bald. It might be your shampo or the hair spray you use. I hope the hair on the bald spot will grow back :)

Actually hair loss does happen for women. While much less common, it's not unheard of.

Use the nioxin number 7 system. There's a shampoo, conditioner, and scalp treatment. I used to have bald patches as well and it fixed it really quickly. I am very confident that it will work for you. Please don't be intimidated by the price. It for real works!

I agree that you should see a doctor to make sure it isn't something medical, but unfortunately, women can inherit hair loss. It's x-chromosome linked, so men only need one for it to be expressed, while women would need to x-chromosomes with the gene, which is why hair loss is less common in women.

Why should it matter that you are a 22-year-old woman that a bald patch is bad news? A bald patch is not a big friggin' party for anyone of either gender! Spray-on hair ain't exactly Silly String, sister! Good luck with your problem. Try the combover first. It cheap, all-natural, and it kinda worked for Rudy Giuliani.
