WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF HAIR LOSS?▪ The number of cases of both men and women suffering from Androgenetic alopecia

is more or less the same. However, it can be camouflaged better in women. In men, androgenetic alopecia is characterized by gradual hair thinning that most often affects the crown and frontal areas of the scalp.

▪ In many men, the hairline around the temples regresses. As it moves back to the midscalp, an M-shaped hair pattern develops.

▪ The hair in the affected areas may be of various lengths and thickness. The presence of uneven lengths and texture is a classic sign of male pattern balding.

▪ Women may have similar patterns of hair loss, although typically the hair loss is a little more diffused than in men; women rarely experience loss of all their hair.

▪ If thin areas are very obvious, consider a weave, a hairpiece, a scarf, or a hat to cover bald spots.

▪ Good quality wigs are more comfortable than ever -- and you will rarely have bad hair days.

▪ If hair loss interferes with your job or social life or makes you reluctant to leave the house, think about talking with a counsellor.
