Complete female baldness is actually rather rare, women usually suffer from hair loss, resulting in thin hair . \nThe most common causes: temporary metabolic problems associated with pregnancy, unusual stress, chemotherapy, crash diets/anorexia, thyroid hormone deficiency, major surgery, severe infection, high fever, certain drugs). This is usually temporary and reverses itself over time as the situation is alleviated. \nAnd then there is "Female Pattern Hair Loss" which usually happens around menopause. The reason that women experience hair loss during and after menopause is that their estrogen levels decline.

Whales do not have body hair. In utero they have sparse hairs that are lost further along in development. they do not have any actual hair on their body, not even little ones that we cannot see with the naked eye.Hairs along the body would severely interfere with their hydrodynamics and increase drag, thus reducing their efficiency in the water, so it would not behoove them to maintain hairs.

Just like insulation in homes, and your mom telling you to wear layers, hollow hairs trap air which holds in heat better.  The animals with the hollow hairs will be found in cold climates.

Stress CAN cause hair loss.  Been there.  So can: hereditary hair loss (female pattern baldness), anesthesia, medicines, thyroid dysfunction. Ask a pharmacist or health food store which supplements are the best.  I have used multivitamin, B-complex. Zinc and B6 are good also.  Have your Dr. also advise you.

Sometimes the growth of new hair can have this effect. Also, using any personal products such as certain deoderants can cause an allergic reaction (even if you have been using the same brand for years!). Your best bet is to not stress since you will be seeing the doctor soon. Only someone well qualified who has seen the condition can tell you what it is!

Yes, they fall off and the next year they will grow back with a velvet covering, then the deer will rub it's horns against small brushes and branches to get the velvet off. When you walk in the forests , you can see some of the brushes that they have used to do this.***

Because horses don't have feathers, so you are comparing whatever-it-is to something that doesn't exist.  \nPurple cows? Horse feathers!
