Early Signs of Baldness in Men & Women – What to Watch For?

Early Signs of Baldness in Men & Women – What to Watch For? 

Hair loss rarely occurs all of a sudden. For most people, hair loss develops gradually as there are some early signs that are normally overlooked until the hair thinning becomes apparent. The first step to preventing hair loss is to look for the early signs of baldness in men and women

Both Male Pattern Baldness and Female Pattern Baldness follow predictable patterns, although the causes and progression may vary. Genetics, hormonal imbalance, stress, lifestyle factors, illnesses, and nutritional deficits are all equally responsible.

“If only I had started treatment earlier.”patients of Dr. Vaseem Choudhary of Homeo Care Clinic often admit when he sees them for treatment. This article will show you types of baldness, available male pattern baldness treatment, and the most effective integrative solutions including homeopathy and PRP therapy.

What Is Baldness (Alopecia)?

Baldness is also known as alopecia and is defined as the partial or complete loss of hair from the parts of the body where hair grows. Baldness can be temporary or permanent depending on its causes.

Hair growth is cyclical and occurs through these stages

• Anagen (Growth Phase
• Catagen (Transition Phase)
• Telogen (resting/shedding phase)

Baldness happens when:

• Hair follicles shrink (miniaturization)
• Growth phase shortens
• New hair becomes thinner and weaker
• Eventually, follicles stop producing hair

Early Signs of Baldness in Men 

In men, patterns of hair loss tend to be more identifiable, usually associated with androgenetic alopecia.

• Receding Hairline

One of the first and most frequent manifestations.

• The hairline recedes at the temples
• “M-shaped” pattern emerges
• Usually starts in early 20’s or 30’s

• Thinning at the Crown (Vertex)

• Less density at the top/crown of the head, backwards.
• Scalp appears visible when exposed to light
• Progressively extends towards a bald patch

• Increased Hair Shedding

• Excess Hair Loss During Washing and/or Combing
• More hair on pillow, floor, or drain

• Slower Hair Growth

• Hair grows back more slowly after being trimmed
• New hairs appear to be thinner and less robust

• Change in Hair Texture

• Hair becomes softer, thinner, and less colored.
• Represents follicle miniaturization

“These are the very first symptoms that signify the onset of Male Pattern Baldness.”

Early Signs of Baldness in Women

Female thinning tends to occur in more scattered patterns and may be more difficult to diagnose early on.

• Widening of Middle Part 

• The hair part gradually widens
• Scalp exposure will rise with time

• Diffuse Thinning on Crown

• Total volume decreases, particularly on top
• Hairline normally intact (not like men)

• Reduced Ponytail Thickness

• Ponytail seems slimmer than previous years

• Excessive Hair Fall

• Excess hair shedding, above 100-150 per day
• Often follows stress, pregnancy, illness

• Hair Loss Due to Hormonal Changes

• Polycystic ovary syndrome,
• Sudden thinning after childbirth

All these symptoms can be associated with female pattern baldness, or female androgenetic alopecia.

Male or Female Pattern Baldness – Key Differences 

Feature	Male Pattern Baldness	Female Pattern Baldness
Hairline	Recedes	Usually preserved
Crown	Bald spot common	Diffuse thinning
Pattern	Well-defined	Spread out
Hormones	DHT dominant	Estrogen imbalance + DHT
Onset	Early adulthood	Often after 30 or menopause

 

To initiate proper treatment, one needs to identify whether the condition is male or female pattern hair loss.

Types of Baldness

Knowing the different types of baldness will assist in determining whether hair loss is reversible.

• Androgenetic Alopecia

• Effects both men and women
