Male Pattern Baldness 
Male pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss in men. It usually follows a typical pattern of receding hairline and hair thinning on the crown, and is caused by hormones and genetic predisposition.
The typical pattern of male baldness begins at the hairline. The hairline gradually recedes to form an "M" shape. The existing hair may become finer and shorter. The hair at the crown also begins to thin. The hair loss is usually permanent. Female Pattern Baldness 
Female-pattern baldness or female hair loss is less common than male-pattern baldness. Usually, this condition causes the hair to thin in the front, on the sides, or on the crown. It rarely progresses to total hair loss. Herbal treatments can reduce the speed of balding in younger patients but the chances of regrow hairs are very less with any treatments. Home Remedy Herbal remedies increase circulation, disinfect the scalp and stimulate hair growth.
