Thinning of hair is mainly caused due to the effect of the secretion of the male hormone DHT. Since the hormone is dominant in males, men tend to lose hair more rapidly than women. Even though the society accepts male baldness as a common symptom for all aged men, women have to undergo a great deal of embarrassment if their body is sensitive to the hormone DHT as a result of which they experience thinning of hair.
Thinning of hair may occur in both men and women. You may check out the following symptoms of hair loss in men and women respectively.
Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) – At first, the hair at the temple starts thinning out and the hair line gradually recedes back in the form of an ‘M’ shape or a horse shoe shape. The hair of the crown part stops growing and turns flaky and un-pigmented.
Female Pattern of Baldness (FPB) – The signs of thinning hair of women is different from men. Women mainly undergo hair loss from the age of 30 and the process of thinning of hair becomes more prevalent after the age of 40 or the post menopausal period. Women lose hair uniformly unlike men as their hair loss mainly takes place in the crown part of the head. About 20 million American women experience this type of hair loss pattern.
