Men typically will lose their hair progressively in a pattern similar to the chart to the left.
Women’s hair loss is generally diffused on the top of the head.
The “root cause” of hair loss in most men and women is dihydrotestosterone, also known as DHT. As DHT levels rise, this can cause more of a problem and affect the hair follicle. DHT can shrink the follicle making it almost impossible for any healthy hair to survive.
“My mother has always had thinning hair.”
“My father was bald at the age of 45. Does that mean it will happen to me?”
Genetics plays a key role in thinning hair and hair loss in both men and women. The degree of hair loss over time may or may not be similar to someone in your family history.
