Thinning hair? A receding hairline? Androgenic (or androgenetic) alopecia could be the cause. This genetic condition affects millions of men and women worldwide and occurs when certain hormones cause hair follicles to shrink over time, leading to progressive hair loss.

In men, androgenic alopecia typically presents as a receding hairline or thinning crown, often referred to as “male-pattern baldness.” Women, however, experience a more diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp, which is sometimes less noticeable but just as impactful.
The good news is that early intervention can slow its progression. Topical treatments like minoxidil, prescription medications, and even low-level laser therapy are effective for many people. CÉCRED’s Restoring Hair & Edge Drops can be incorporated into your routine to support a healthier scalp and encourage new growth in affected areas.
Lifestyle factors also play a role. A diet rich in nutrients, stress management, and gentle hair care practices can complement medical treatments. Learn more about the importance of self-care in managing hair loss by reading our blog on Telogen Effluvium: Why Stress Might Be Stealing Your Strands.
