Hereditary hair loss in women is more common than most of us seem to think. At first look, it may not be as visible as it is in men due to its different pattern but it is no less challenging to treat than male pattern baldness. The typical female balding pattern is a diffuse hair loss affecting almost the entire scalp, although the thinning is more pronounced on top of the head rather than on the back and the sides. As a rule of thumb, one…

Unlike male pattern baldness, which can manifest itself in any number of patterns as classified on the Hamilton-Norwood scale, female pattern hair loss is often diffuse or occurring over the entire area of the scalp. While there are factors such as childbirth, menopause or even stress that can induce temporary female balding, 96% of female

The balding pattern in women suffering from androgenetic alopecia is different from the male pattern, which makes it more difficult to diagnose. Women lose their hair throughout the whole scalp, which is known as diffuse hair loss, and in the early stages it is less recognisable. Diffuse hair loss makes women bad candidates for hair transplantation...
First off, great site doc. Very helpful. My question is about hair density and thickness. Say one buzzes their hair, should they expect the density and thickness of the hair to be the same over the whole head or are the backs and sides of the head thicker than the top of the scalp, generally? Thanks, doc! If you’re not balding, the density...
1) Start early The greatest mistake many hair loss patients make is denying they are suffering from hair loss. Typically you have to lose about 50% of your hair in the thinning area to notice that you are balding. Many sufferers are extremely pessimistic about being able to regrow lost hair and do not want to try anything. Only after they have lost...
Hi, for the last ten months I’ve been having diffuse hair loss all over my scalp. Both top and sides of my head. My hair line has not receded. Within these ten months, I would say that I’ve lost about 60% or more of my total hair. All of the hairs have the small white bulb at the end. I’ve gone to a dermatologist and he suggested...
The main cause of hereditary baldness is, as its name says, genetic. However, some people believe that losing hair is the result of poor circulation in the scalp, elevated stress, wearing hats and long hair or masturbation, which obviously is not true. Such rumours are also spread by the marketers of hair scams, who are trying to exploit our lack...
Hair surgery, like any other surgery, has its limitations and potential risks. Not everyone is a good candidate, since you need to have a sufficient hair density in the donor area. People suffering from diffuse hair loss – female pattern baldness – are usually bad candidates. The biggest risk you take once you have decided to go ahead...
Shortly after balding men and women come to terms with the realities of thinning hair and hair loss they see in the mirror, questions of if and when it will stop crowd the mind like a shopping mall during the holidays. At what age will pattern baldness cease? Will I go completely bald? What hair loss treatments

I’m a 51 year old male…. There is no baldness running in my family. My twin brother has a full thick head of hair. About 5 years ago I noticed my hair thinning a bit around my hairline above my forehead. Didn’t really give it much thought. But over the past couple of years I’ve noticed an overall increase thinning of my hair...
How do you do the miniturization map of the scalp for a woman? I want to do it myself using your procedure with the small digital microscope. Can you recommend a good hair specialist in the Boston area? Yes, mapping the scalp for miniaturization is a good idea for women. Significant miniaturization in the fringe area (donor area) is indicative of...
