The prevalence climbs through midlife and peaks around or after menopause.
What is the pattern?
What does this kind of hair loss look like?
Often the first sign is a widening part.
Okay, wherever you part your hair, you're suddenly noticing that you're seeing more white or flesh color in that area.
You may notice thinning across the crown, the crown of your head.
Though remember, the front hairline itself is usually absolutely preserved.
Why does this happen?
The follicle is still alive, but it is producing thinner hair.
shorter and less pigmented hairs each cycle, thanks to that androgen sensitivity that I briefly mentioned.
So let's go over that one more time.
So estrogen dominates in premenopause.
We all can agree that.
And estrogen promotes hair growth.
It keeps the hair in the growing phase.
It keeps it thick.
It keeps the follicles juicy, healthy.
And then when estrogen declines, androgen levels might decline as well, but the activity of the androgens stays elevated and dihydrotestosterone is converted to, which actually binds to the hair follicle, starts becoming the dominant hormone that is affecting our hair and skin.
So we see miniaturization or that hair follicle, those individual hair follicles are getting tinier, skinnier, and less pigmented.
This is not reversible without intervention.
