Androgenetic baldness is by far the most common of all hair loss conditions. This condition often onsets around 20-30 years of age. More than 50% of men have this condition by the time they reach 50 years of age, as do many women. This heredity condition that leads to a gradual diminishment in size and number of hair follicles. Hair loss occurs predominantly on the crown and front part of the hairline.

Female pattern baldness is similar to male pattern baldness but onsets later in life due to a protective effect of female hormones.
