This course is aimed at clinicians who seek to improve their skills in managing women with hair loss. An overall framework and approach for evaluating hair loss in an efficient yet comprehensive manner will be reviewed. Specifically, the identification of hair curl types and how this impacts the global appearance and scalp coverage in women will be discussed. The session will then delve deeper into the management of female pattern hair loss and traction alopecia. Using examples from actual referrals, a case-based format will highlight some of the common challenges that come up in the diagnosis, therapy, and management of women hair loss in the clinic. Additionally, the course will address the important role of shared decision making, counseling, and patient education for optimizing outcomes and hair health.
