CEO / FOUNDER OF KLINIK DR INDER
Hair loss is one of the most common concerns for both men and women. While occasional hair fall is natural, a consistent pattern of thinning or receding hairline indicates a specific type of hair loss pattern. Understanding the pattern is the first step toward choosing the right treatment—especially if you are considering advanced solutions like FUE Hair Transplant.
A hair loss pattern refers to the specific way hair thinning or baldness appears on the scalp. Most people experience patterned hair loss, which follows predictable stages depending on gender, genetics, and health conditions.
Hair loss patterns help identify:
The type of hair loss
The severity
The ideal treatment
Whether a hair transplant is needed
Male pattern hair loss is medically known as Androgenetic Alopecia. It follows the widely recognized Norwood Scale.
1. Receding Hairline: The hairline begins to push backward around the temples, forming an “M” shape.
2. Thinning at the Crown: A circular bald spot appears at the top/back of the scalp.
3. Combined Hairline + Crown Baldness: Both regions thin at the same time and eventually connect.
4. Advanced Balding: Large areas of the scalp become bald, leaving only a horseshoe-shaped band of hair.
Female pattern hair loss is called Ludwig Pattern.
1. Diffuse Thinning on the Top: The central parting becomes wide, making the scalp more visible.
2. Overall Volume Loss: Hair becomes thin across the crown but hairline usually stays intact.
3. Severe Thinning at the Crown: Significant density loss affecting total hair volume.
Genetics: If hair loss runs in your family, it’s highly likely to affect you.
Hormonal Changes: DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) weakens follicles and causes miniaturization.
Aging: Follicles produce thinner hair over time.
Stress & Lifestyle: Poor sleep, high stress, bad diet, and smoking accelerate thinning.
Medical Conditions: Thyroid issues, anemia, PCOS (for women), and nutrient deficiencies.
You may be experiencing patterned hair loss if you notice:
Gradual thinning on the crown
Widening hair part
Receding hairline
Reduced hair density
More visible scalp in photos
Shedding during shower or combing
Proper diagnosis is essential to choose the right treatment plan.
