Female Pattern Hair Loss is a common form of hair thinning that typically affects women after puberty, especially with age or hormonal changes. Unlike male baldness, FPHL presents as a gradual reduction in hair volume, often starting at the crown or widening of the part line, without a receding hairline.
This condition is largely genetic and linked to sensitivity to androgens (male hormones), but can also be influenced by stress, menopause, nutrient deficiencies, or underlying health issues like thyroid disorders.
