Male & Female Pattern Hair Loss (Androgenic Alopecia)

Male and female pattern hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia) causes thinning hair due to genetics and hormones. Men typically experience receding hairlines, while women experience overall thinning, especially on the crown. Treatments are available to manage hair loss for both genders.

What is Traction Alopecia?

Traction alopecia is hair loss caused by tight hairstyles or headgear that pull on the hair. It leads to hairline recession and is common in African American women. Treatment involves stopping the tension, with surgery for severe cases.
