| What is Female Pattern Baldness? |
| The most common type of hair loss in women is known as Female Pattern Baldness. The typical pattern is an overall thinning on the crown and is somewhat different to how male pattern baldness develops. In comparison to Male Pattern Baldness, hair loss in women is not as easily visible or identifiable as compared to men.
The hair thins all over the head, but the frontal hairline is maintained. There may be a moderate loss of hair on the crown, but this rarely progresses to total or near baldness as it may in men. Furthermore, it may not have any obvious hereditary association, and may not occur in a recognizable 'female-pattern baldness' of diffuse thinning over the top of the scalp. At the first signs of hair loss a woman may not be sure if the loss is going to be temporary or permanent, such as in the cases of pregnancy of even illnesses that can be associated to female pattern baldness. |
