1. Receeding hairline

2. Moderate to extensive hair loss, particularly on the crown of the head.

Female hair loss can start at around age 30 and becomes more noticeable by age 40. It usually involves overall thinning rather than a bald patch on the top of the head.

Main signs of female hair loss:

1. General thinning of hair all over the head

2. Moderate hair loss on the crown of the head or at the hairline

For both men and women, the hair follicles simply shut down, often due to the effect of hormonal changes.

Hair Loss Glossary:

Alopecia: Simply means 'hair loss' and is used to describe any form of hair loss regardless of the cause.

Androgenic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness): Most common in men, affecting about 40% of men by the age of 40. In women, 'pattern baldness' takes a slightly different form.

Alopecia Areata: Patches of hair fall out, related to an auto-immune disorder.

Traction Alopecia: Hair loss due to hair being pulled out at the roots by hairstyles that continually drag it back tightly. It can also be due to the nervous habit of pulling or twisting the hair which tends to draw the hair out by the roots.

Alopecia From Scarring: No hair will grow in skin that is damaged on the scalp which forms a scar.
