The document from 2013 discussed the biology of hair and its sequence in female pattern baldness. It highlighted that changes in hair texture, amount, or thickness can be a source of concern for patients. The condition can present in women as androgenic alopecia, also known as female pattern baldness. The progression of this condition often involves thinning or rarefaction affecting the vertex. The document noted that hair loss in women has been interpreted and classified differently from that in men. The Ludwig classification was identified as the most accepted assessment for women's hair loss. The document also outlined the hair growth cycle, which includes the stages of anagen, catagen, telogen, exogen, and kenogen.
