Sinclair scale is used to classify female pattern hair loss into 5 different stages with varying symptoms:

• Stage 1- Minimal to no hair loss; thinning of hair on the head
• Stage 2- A slight widening in the middle hair part
• Stage 3- A wider gap created in the center hair part with hair loss on either side of the part line- hair loss in a Christmas tree-like pattern
• Stage 4- Normally receding front hairline or bald spots created towards the hairline front as females get older
• Stage 5- Advanced hair loss throughout the top of the scalp, rarely leading to total or close to complete baldness.

The hair thinning or loss doesn’t cause any discomfort. Most females present early stages of pattern baldness following menopause.

What tests diagnose female pattern hair loss?

Female pattern hair loss is easily identifiable by just looking at the scalp. However, a confirmed diagnosis may be done with a thorough scalp examination using a densitometer which measures hair thickness, and reviewing of the patient and her family medical history.

During scalp examination, the size of the affected areas of the scalp is noted to determine the stage of hair loss. To rule out other potential hair loss types, the scalp is examined for signs of infection/scarring; blood tests are conducted; and the hair sample or scalp biopsy sample is sent for laboratory testing.

In a female pattern hair loss, the hair follicles gradually shrink. As hair follicles are tubular sac-like structures that grow hair, their shrinkage results in the growth of thinner, finer, shorter hair. Over time, the growth of the hair completely stops and bald spots become noticeable.
