GlossaryVertex Hair Loss

thinning or loss of hair at the crown area

Vertex Hair Loss, also known as Crown Hair Loss or Vertex Baldness, refers to the thinning or loss of hair at the top of the head, specifically around the crown area. This type of hair loss is commonly associated with androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) and is often one of the first areas where hair thinning becomes noticeable.
