Androgenetic alopecia is the most common type of hair loss in both sexes. The hair follicles most typically subject to baldness are in the frontal region of the scalp, and this is related to the nature of the hair follicles (shorter longevity) themselves rather than the scalp anatomy.  In women, balding may also be a normal physiologic occurrence in those taking oral contraceptives or after parturition. Diffuse thinning toward the front of the scalp in women, involving and sometimes breaching the frontal hairline is the most common type of baldness.
