"In the case of hereditary hair thinning (also known as androgenetic alopecia), the big difference between men and women is where their hair thinning occurs. Men's hair tends to thin out around the hairline, at the back of the head, and at the crown; a woman’s hair thinning is more spread out over the area between the bangs and the crown of the head. This is why we hear men refer to "bald spots" and "receding hairlines," while women refer to "see-through" hair."
