Overview
What is Female Hair Loss?
Female hair loss, often called female-pattern hair loss or androgenic alopecia, typically presents as thinning hair across the top of the scalp while maintaining the frontal hairline. It becomes more common after menopause but can affect women of all ages.
Unlike male-pattern baldness, female hair loss usually results in diffuse thinning rather than distinct bald patches.
