Differences between men and women's hair loss

JB Shelton and Colleen Camp discuss the differences between men and women's hair loss, noting that while 85% of men experience hair loss, 50% of women do as well, with men typically losing hair in a horseshoe pattern while women experience global thinning. They explain that early signs of hair loss include a family history of hair loss, increased shedding beyond the normal 100 hairs per day, and longer hairs falling out from the scalp rather than breaking off. Their discussion covers prevention methods, including DHT-blocking shampoos, supplements, and consistent daily treatment. They also PCOS in women which can cause both hair loss and excessive facial hair growth, requiring combined treatments including Minoxidil and birth control pills.
