Male Pattern Baldness 

Male pattern alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness, is a common condition characterized by hair loss in a specific pattern on the scalp. It is typically hereditary and can be influenced by factors such as age, hormones, and genetics. Male pattern alopecia usually begins with hair thinning at the temples and crown of the head, eventually leading to a receding hairline and balding at the top of the head. Treatment options for male pattern alopecia may include medications, topical treatments, hair transplants, or lifestyle changes.

It usually takes 15-20 years to go bald, but it can happen quicker. Typically at the beginning, the hair begins to thin (recede) from the sides (temples).

At the same time, the hair becomes thin on top of the head. A bald patch gradually develops in the middle of the scalp. The receding sides and bald patch on top (the crown) gradually enlarge and join together, leaving a patch at the front. The patch at the front will eventually thin as well.

Female Pattern Baldness 

Female pattern hair loss, also known as female pattern baldness, is a common type of hair loss that occurs in women. It is usually characterised by thinning of the hair, particularly on the top and crown of the head. Female pattern hair loss is often hereditary and can be influenced by factors such as age, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions.

Traction Alopecia

Traction alopecia is a type of hair loss that occurs when hair is pulled tightly for a prolonged period of time, causing damage to the hair follicles. This can happen due to certain hairstyles such as tight braids, ponytails, or cornrows, as well as the use of hair extensions or weaves that are attached with tension.

Over time, the repeated pulling can weaken the hair follicles, leading to hair breakage and thinning, and in severe cases, permanent hair loss. Traction alopecia is often seen in individuals who regularly wear tight hairstyles or use damaging hair styling techniques.
