Although Androgenetic alopecia accounts for almost 95% of mens baldness, that amount is significantly smaller for female baldness (around 25% I believe). Instead, there are many other causes of female baldness, some of the more frequently seen types are listed below. Any female can suffer from baldness and hair loss, only 20% of females will escape it completely.

Androgenic alopecia - is the classic type of female baldness.  Normally not as common in women as in men, but it does occur for somewhat different reasons. 

Specifically in female androgenic baldness, the hair is lost from the front of the scalp, whereas in males it tends to be the front and top.

Secondly, in men, androgenic baldness results from testosterone being converted to DHT, whereas in females, it is a combination of a drop in estrogen production coupled with a substantial increase in production of testosterone, and presumably testosterone to DHT conversion.

Hence females with androgenic baldness may benefit from those drugs and medications and remedies which target male baldness eg via suppressing DHT at the hair follicle level.

Alopecia areata - a type of female baldness that can be an auto-immune disorder or of hormonal cause.

Alopecia areata causes isolated or patchy hair loss that can range from areas with thinning hair to large clusters of retained hair.

It is necessary to have a medical examination to reach a diagnosis.

Trichotillomania - a mental condition in which the victim compulsively pulls his or her hair out.

Hair is very patchy, as the same areas are constantly pulled.

This type of female baldness is untreatable until the emotion or psychological causes of the disorder can be dealt with.

Scarring alopecia - hair loss caused by scarrage of the scalp.

Generally occurs on the top of the scalp. Scarring alopecia is much more common in women than in men. Scarring alopecia is even more predominant in African-American women and, thus, can be associated with the common tight braiding of hair that these women typically style.

This type of female baldness may also be caused by post-menopausal problems and the inflammation of hair follicles.

Triangular alopecia – this is hair loss in the temporal areas, often beginning during childhood.

The condition can be treated surgically or medically, at its worst, this type of female baldness can vary from a complete loss of hair to a retainment of only few thin and weak hairs.

Telogen effluvium - caused when scalp hairs go into a "shedding" phase.

Telogen effluvium is a very common type of female baldness, and can be caused by a variety of things, mainly nutritional, hormonal, drug-, or stress-associated problems.

Loose-anagen syndrome - occurring most commonly in fair-haired people.

Loose-anagen syndrome causes scalp hair to sit loosely in follicles and, thus, enables it to be easily extracted by any tugging of the hair.

This female baldness typically improves as you age, although absolute recovery does not always occur.

Concluding Remarks on Female Baldness

If you believe you have permanent or temporary hair loss - female baldness - you must first visit a physician hair restoration specialist that can diagnose you and your hair, and recommend a proper medical or surgical treatment.

The second step will obviously be, then, to weigh up what you have found out and, if you agree, take the suggested course of action and remedy any hair loss that may have occurred.
