In women, it’s known as female pattern baldness. It’s responsible for 95 percent of the cases of permanent hair loss, states the American Hair Loss Council.
This type of balding isn’t necessarily a disease. It’s a condition related to:
• genetics, which means it’s inherited
• normal aging process
• male hormones called androgens
Genetics play a role in the predisposing factors for androgenetic alopecia, possibly affecting key enzymes like 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Both hormones are androgens.
When DHT increases, or when the hair follicle becomes more sensitive to DHT, the hair follicle shrinks. The anagen phase also shortens and, as a result, hairs falls out earlier than normal.
In both men and women, androgenetic alopecia typically happens gradually. In men, it causes a receding hairline and thinning at the top of the head. These are typical characteristics of male pattern baldness.
Women don’t typically develop a receding hairline. Instead, they predominantly experience thinning throughout the top of the scalp, which manifests as a widening hair part. This is typical of female pattern baldness.
Contrary to popular belief, the following aren’t responsible for balding:
• wearing hats
• wearing wigs
• frequent shampooing
• dandruff
