Baldness in men vs. baldness in women: what are the effective solutions?

La baldness, or more precisely androgenetic alopecia, affects men and women but manifests itself differently and often requires approaches adapted to each sex.

This article explains how to recognize these differences, why they exist, and most importantly, what effective solutions exist today—especially our Hormonal Anti-Hair Loss Protocol with an DHT Blocker integrated.

Male vs. Female Baldness: What You Need to Know

Peculiarities in humans

• Male pattern baldness is characterized by progressive thinning of the temples and crown of the head. 

• Hair on the sides and back is often preserved until an advanced stage.

• It begins early (20-25 years or even earlier) and progresses according to genetics linked to the sensitivity of the follicles to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

• The phenomenon is largely linked to the accumulation of DHT and the progressive miniaturization of hair bulbs.

Peculiarities in women

• In women, androgenetic alopecia results in diffuse thinning rather than completely bald areas.

• A parting widens, volume decreases and hair is finer or brittle.

• It often appears after a hormonal imbalance: menopause, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

• The hormonal mechanism is the same (linked to DHT) but the manifestation is different and sometimes more insidious.

Why solutions must be adapted

Since the basic mechanism—the conversion of testosterone to DHT via the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase and the effect of this DHT on the follicle—is common, the treatment may be similar on paper.

However, the way in which hair loss manifests itself, tolerance, rate of progression and the psychology linked to hair loss differ according to gender.

Thus, an effective approach requires:

• To act on the hormonal cause (DHT reduction)

• To improve the overall health of the scalp and bulbs

• To accompany targeted care according to appearance (density, areas, sex)

• To use a comprehensive protocol, not just a one-off treatment

Effective solutions according to your profile

• For a man with a typical baldness : use the complete protocol, with regular monitoring, and consider additional care (laser, graft) if necessary.

• For a woman noticing a diffuse loss or postmenopausal/postpartum thinning : priority to hormonal regulation (DHT Blocker) + external care to densify and thicken the hair fiber.

• For both: importance of a trichological diagnosis, regular monitoring and a favorable lifestyle (nutrition, sleep, stress, etc.).

In short

La male vs female baldness is not entirely identical: the mechanisms are similar but the manifestations and needs differ.

Thanks to a protocol complete hormonal anti-hair loss, combining external care and internal treatment (notably via a DHT Blocker), you now have a solution adapted to your profile — man or woman — to slow hair loss, strengthen hair density and create a healthy scalp.
