No matter what the style, color or texture, a woman's hair often defines her look.
And in a beauty driven society, when a woman suffers from hair loss it can be devastating.
Believe it or not, hair loss is a devastating dilemma for millions of women in the valley and across the nation.
But thanks to new technology, there is hope to restore the missing follicles.
Mindy Forer never complains about her hair. That is because not long ago she was losing much of it.
"I was losing most of my hair in the very front of my scalp", Mindy says.
It was all because of a medical condition, and the hair loss brought both physical and emotional hardships.
Doctors say hair loss affects as many as 30 million women in the US alone.
The good news is hair transplants are now more refined, making it a viable option for a woman's unique needs.
Still, before anyone opts for hair restoration surgery, doctors say they need a full medical work up.
That is because for many women, hair loss is temporarily caused by medications, dieting or even pregnancy.
But for those who warrant the surgery, like Mindy, it can be a life changing solution.
"I love my transplants, it makes me feel so much better about myself", she says.
The bottom line is, if you are a woman and suffer from hair loss, you are not alone.
Just last year there was nearly a 70% jump in female transplant patients over the year before.
There are several valley doctors who perform hair transplants and who offer other non-invasive treatments.
And hair transplants are not limited to your head. A lot of women are now getting hair transplanted into their eyebrows.
