Abstract: Female alopecia has a severe psychological impact. In Brazilian and Argentine Clinical Centers we've studied over 200 female patients with diffuse alopecia pattern. After a detailed anamnesis and physical/trichological exams we've confirmed the diagnosis of diffuse alopecia caused by repetition of chemical and physical aggressors. Surprisingly we found that all the chemical stressors were straighteners. The socio-cultural pressure was the main reason for this chemical procedure.
