Based on HealthCentral.com, common baldness, which is sometimes called male- or female-pattern baldness, accounts for 99 percent of hair loss in men and women. Although its exact causes are unknown, heredity, hormones and age are contributing factors. Unlike hair loss resulting from disease or other non-hereditary factors, hair loss due to common baldness is permanent.
Women with common baldness rarely develop bald patches. Instead, they experience a diffuse thinning of their hair. Male baldness usually begins with thinning at the hairline, followed by the appearance of a thinned or bald spot on the crown of the head.
There is no cure for common baldness
