The gender differences in hair loss and thinning hair
Breaking down the gender differences in hair loss and thinning hair!
Hair loss is an unwanted matter because it is both a burden and a loss of confidence, affecting your appearance and attractiveness.

Did you know that hair loss and thinning hair is a common occurrence in both men and women, but the severity varies from person to person due to various factors like age? Hair loss and thinning hair often causes problems in living life especially for women whose hairstyling is as important as clothing.  That is the reason why women pay so much attention to their hair.


Understanding the differences between male and female hair loss

The problem of thinning hair in women usually begins at the parting area, where the scalp can be clearly visible. Then, as the days go by, the hair keeps falling out even more and the bald spot along the parting has expanded, creating a bald spot on the top of the head.

The problem of thinning hair in women is usually caused by hormones and genetics. The severity of thinning hair in women can be divided into three main stages:

  • First stage: In this stage, you will notice that your hair is thinner than usual until the hair part becomes wider and the scalp at the hair parting area is getting clearly visible;
  • Second stage: In this stage, it can be considered a moderate thinning hair problem. You will experience a wider parting and more clearly visible scalp than in the first stag;
  • The final stage: In this stage, the hair is noticeably thinner. The hair part has become widened so that a broad area of the scalp is clearly visible.




Hair Loss and Thinning Hair in Men

Commonly, male hair loss begins as a receding hairline or on the top of head. It may occur on the both areas or on one of them. If this hair loss problem is allowed to continue, baldness will knock on your door eventually and you will become bald with hair remaining only behind your ears and on the lower back of head.

The problem of thinning hair in men is generally caused by the DHT hormone which is very potent in stimulating hair follicles. When DHT levels are too high, they can overstimulate hair follicles. This causes the hair become smaller, finer, and lighter. The hair becomes thin and weak. In the case of male pattern baldness, we often see that the hair is still growing on the back of the head. That area is called a Safe Donor Area, that is, it is an area where the hair is not influenced by the aforementioned DHT hormone. This Safe Donor Area is found only in males.




What are the differences between male and female hair thinning?

When comparing the differences in female and male thinning hair, it is found that female thinning hair tends to occur on the top of the head or all over the head rather than on the frontal hairline. Thinning hair in women may not always be solved by a hair transplant because women don’t have Safe Donor Area. This results in women usually having insufficient useable hair and the hair roots are not strong enough for hair transplant.


Can women get a hair transplant? How should women solve the problem of thinning hair?

Although the problem of thinning hair in women and men is different, it should be treated and solved timely to prevent it from becoming unsolvable.  

As women do not have a Safe Donor Area that can be used for transplantation, a hair transplant alone may not be the perfect solution for them. Hair nourishment is something necessary.
