Postpartum shedding, Houston and Texas

390,828 babies were born to residents of Texas in 2024, about 1,068 a day; its birth rate, 12.5 per 1,000, was the 2nd-highest of the 50 states and DC. Houston holds 7.8% of the state's 29,640,343 people.[NCHS][ACS]

The American Academy of Dermatology says heavy shedding after a birth usually peaks about four months later, is temporary, and is not true hair loss; most women’s hair is back to its usual fullness by the child’s first birthday.[1]

Thinning that has not settled after a year, or a part that keeps widening, is worth a physician's look. The safety rules come first: finasteride and spironolactone are off the table in pregnancy, when trying to conceive and while breastfeeding, and so are minoxidil tablets while breastfeeding.[2][3][4]

Dermatologist access in Houston: above the US rate

For its size, Houston is well supplied: 200 dermatology providers, or 8.7 per 100,000 residents, against 5.5 for the US and 4.6 for Texas. Each serves, on average, about 11,500 people who live in the city.[NPI][ACS]

Widen the circle and the count grows: 226 in the city or within 10 miles, 343 within 25 miles. For the 5,372,606 people who live within 25 miles, that is 6.4 per 100,000.[NPI][ZCTA]

The Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands area has 393 dermatology providers, and 51% of them work in Houston. Harris County, home to most of Houston, has 286 dermatology providers for 4,758,579 residents, 6.0 per 100,000.[NPI][OMB]

Even where offices are close, an online visit for pattern hair loss fits around work and family without a waiting room. See a dermatologist in person for hair that falls out suddenly or in patches, or a scalp that is sore, red or scaly.

Dermatology providers registered in the NPI registry as of October 23, 2026, by practice address: in the city means the address names the city; the 10- and 25-mile counts add every provider whose ZIP code center lies that close. Dermatopathologists, physician assistants and nurse practitioners are not counted, and the rates use ACS 2019–2023 population.

Men and women in Houston at the ages hair thins

Houston's median age is 34.3, close to Texas's 35.5. There are 458,306 men 40 or older in Houston (19.9% of residents; less than Texas's 21.1%), the ages when male pattern hair loss is most common; it affects more than half of men over 50.[5][ACS]

255,880 women are 45 to 64, 11.1% of residents, less than Texas's 11.8%: the years around menopause, when, the American Academy of Dermatology says, female pattern hair loss becomes more common.[6][ACS]

Nobody counts pattern hair loss city by city. Across the US it affects an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women, so this page gives ages, not an estimate.[5]
