    genetic and hormonal hair thinning on women's crown and frontal scalp

    Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL), also known as female androgenetic alopecia, is a common form of hair loss in women characterized by a diffuse thinning of hair on the crown and frontal scalp while maintaining the frontal hairline. It is often linked to genetic and hormonal factors, particularly the influence of androgens, and can begin as early as the late teens or early twenties, progressively worsening with age.
