Classification of Hair Loss In Men

Classification of Hair Loss In Men

The Norwood system of classification is the most commonly used classification for hair loss in men. It defines two major patterns and several less common types.
In the regular Norwood pattern, two areas of hair loss gradually enlarge to produce a recession at the temples and thinning in the crown. These regions coalesce until the entire front; top and crown (vertex) of the scalp are bald.
