    GlossaryHair Loss Patterns (Alopecia Patterns)

    specific ways hair loss manifests on the scalp

    Hair loss patterns refer to the specific ways in which hair loss manifests on the scalp, often influenced by genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Common patterns include male-pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), which typically starts with a receding hairline and thinning at the crown, and female-pattern baldness, which usually presents as overall thinning without a receding hairline. Understanding these patterns helps in diagnosing the type of alopecia and determining appropriate treatment options.
