The Different Types of Baldness
Category I – At this step, hair is at a normal state on the head and a slight recession on the front side may or may not be present. The crown of the head remains full. Hair loss is consistent with normal and expected levels and hair continues to grow in a healthy and regular way.
Category II – The frontal region of the head presents slight recessions of less than 2 cm, with the hairline being more or less symmetrical. At this step, the rate of hair loss has become slightly faster and there is a decrease in the density of hair in the frontal region.
Category III – This is the point where hair loss can be considered baldness. This category has a number of different patterns: it can include a combination of various degrees of frontal recessions in conjunction with the thinning of hair at the crown that only increases with age.
Category IV – At this point, baldness enters a more advanced state and the frontal and frontal side recessions are even more pronounced than in Category III. As the density of hair keeps decreasing, a band connecting both sides of the head often appears at this stage, a result of the continued thinning of the frontal and crown areas of the head.
Category V – At this point, it is very likely that the band of hair connecting the two sides of the head will still be intact, but with far less hair than before. Usually, the zones of baldness at the front and at the crown will have increased a bit, and some hair will remain at the top of the head.
Category VI – This step is characterized by the disappearance of the band of hair that separates the two main areas of baldness. This step also shows how the baldness at the front and on the crown expands towards the sides and towards the back.
Category VII – This is the most advanced state of baldness. At this step, hair can only be found in the area around the ears and at the back of the head.
