Hair loss on the sides of the head of a woman often reflects female genetic hair loss. If your scalp is mapped out for miniaturization, you will see considerable thinning (finer hair shafts) in the hair on the sides when compared to other parts of the scalp. You need to see a good dermatologist to understand what is happening to you.

Since March this year my hair has been falling out at the sides of my head. I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis in 2005 and put on high dose steroids - I was also pregnant at the time. I had hypercalcaemia and was also given bisphosphonates. Postnatally my hair fell out in huge clumps. I lost well over half of my hair, especially at the sides. I know it is normal to lose hair postnatally but this was worse than I had ever experienced in previous pregnancies. My hair grew back and I was delighted. However, it has started to fall out again, just at the sides and there is no new growth after 4.5 months. My hair is also noticeably thinner and some of the hairs that are falling out are much, much thinner than others - I’ve never seen such thin strands of hair. What should I do please as I am petrified that the sides will fall out and I will be bald there. Thank you.
im only 17 an I would say my hair fell out on the side when I was about 12 but I don’t know why can you please help me.
When hair doesn’t grow in a certain spot, there is a reason for it. This is not normal. I would try massaging your scalp for at least 15 minutes a day. Massage all over, not just the sides because you don’t know where the problem is. I have hair loss in the front of my head. My hair has started to grow back (slowly)with me massaging the back of my head.
