- Male-Pattern Baldness usually begins with receding hairlines proceeding with hair thinning at the crown and temples forming a horseshoe shape.
- Female-pattern baldness is less-common, though, it begins at the top of the head and usually affects post-menopausal women.
- An average human head contains roughly 100,000 hairs and it is natural to lose 50 to 100 hairs per day.
- Excessive use of chemicals, colors, hot curlers, straighteners, and hair dryers are some of the major factors contributing to hair loss.
