- More scalp visible at the crown
- The hairline itself usually holds
Course
- Typical onset
- Often around menopause
- Course
- Gradual, over years
- Contagious

What helps
Density may increase the number of follicles in an active growth phase. It will not make hair thicker. A clinician can discuss medical treatments that work differently.
Two products at once, no more. More actives means more irritation, not more result.
See a clinician if
- Thinning is rapid, or comes with acne or excess facial hair: hormone tests may be needed.
- Hair loss is sudden, or comes out in round patches.
- The scalp is painful, weeping, crusting or smells.
- You see scarring, or skin where hair no longer grows back.
- Hair loss comes with fatigue, weight change or feeling cold.
