Female baldness = Male baldness

The similarities between male and female hair loss, especially in hereditary and hormonal cases

In the early stages, male and female hair loss appear quite different. Similarities only develop as the symptoms progress.

In the intermediate stage, as the hair fall increases, male and female baldness appear similar. This stage is often seen in women who experience hair loss due to hereditary reasons or when it is combined with stress, hormonal issues, travelling and scalp infections.


In advanced cases, as the condition progresses ,male and female baldness end up looking very similar.
