Crown Thinning: Why It Happens and What Helps
Thinning at the Crown
Crown thinning is one of the most common patterns of hair loss in men. It often begins as a small bald spot that gradually expands. Because it is on the back of the head, many men do not notice it until it is advanced.
Why the Crown Is Different
The crown has lower blood flow than other areas of the scalp, which means hair follicles there may be more vulnerable to DHT. Crown restoration via transplant requires careful angling to create a natural whorl pattern.
