Female Pattern Hair Loss: Signs to Look For
Quick answer: Female pattern hair loss usually shows as gradual thinning on the top of the head and a widening parting, while the front hairline often stays. If you notice these signs, see a doctor to confirm and rule out other causes, and ask about options.
- Widening parting: Compare photos over time.
- Less volume: Ponytails feel thinner.
- Next steps: See a doctor, then compare options at Folli-Doc.
