What is Androgenetic Alopecia?
Androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern hair loss, is the most common form of hair loss in both men and women. The condition presents differently between genders. Men typically experience a receding hairline and hair loss at the top of the head, often forming an M-shaped pattern. Women usually notice thinning at the crown, while the front hairline remains intact. Unlike men, women are less likely to experience complete hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia.
What Causes Androgenetic Alopecia?
While research is ongoing, androgenetic alopecia is believed to be caused by a combination of genetics and hormones. Changes in the androgen receptor gene are thought to affect hair follicle sensitivity, contributing to hair loss. Androgen hormones play a key role, as increased levels can shorten the hair growth cycle, causing follicles to spend longer periods in the resting phase, where hair strands no longer grow.

Your Questions Answered
What are the different types of alopecia?
As well as androgenetic alopecia, there are lots of different types, including: Alopecia areata (an autoimmune condition where hair falls out in round patches) Scarring alopecia (the hair follicle gets destroyed and replaced with scar tissue, causing permanent hair loss) Chemotherapy-induced alopecia (where hair falls out following chemotherapy) Telogen effluvium (more hairs than average move into the resting phase) Traction alopecia (where hair falls out because it has been consistently pulled at)
Is androgenetic alopecia genetic?
Yes, research suggests that androgenetic alopecia is often caused by the androgen receptor gene.
What are the symptoms of androgenetic alopecia?
The symptoms of androgenetic alopecia tend to differ for men and women. Men should look out for hair thinning on the crown, hair thinning or loss at the temples and a receding hairline.
Is androgenetic alopecia different in men and women?
Yes, androgenetic alopecia tends to look different in men and women. Men usually see an M-shaped pattern of hair loss across the top of their head and often lose hair permanently. Women typically notice thinning at the crown of the head and are less likely to lose all of their hair as a result of androgenetic alopecia.
How can I spot an early sign of androgenetic alopecia?
The early signs of androgenetic alopecia are different for men and women. Men should look out for a receding hairline, whereas women might notice a thinning at the parting.
