How My Grade of Hair Loss Is Determined?
The grade of Hair Loss in men and women are determinate by scientific scales called (Norwood Scale) for men and (Ludwig Scale) for women. These scales have an illustration with the degree of the hair loss or alopecia scalp disorder that the patient is suffering, and is often used to determine the severity of the hair loss.

Implantation Distribution Zones
One crucial factor to consider when diagnosing hair loss is the distribution of hair loss on the scalp. The pattern of hair loss can give clues as to the underlying cause of the hair loss and help guide treatment options.
One way to classify the distribution of hair loss is by using implantation distribution zones. These zones are areas of the scalp where hair follicles are naturally grouped and can help identify the specific pattern of hair loss.
There are three main implantation distribution zones on the scalp:
- Anterior Implantation Zone: This zone is located at the front of the scalp and includes the hairline and temples. Hair loss in this zone is commonly seen in male-pattern baldness and female-pattern hair loss.
- Mid-Scalp Implantation Zone: This zone is in the middle of the scalp, between the anterior and posterior zones. Hair loss in this zone can indicate androgenetic alopecia or telogen effluvium.
- Posterior Implantation Zone: This zone is located at the back of the scalp and includes the crown. Hair loss in this zone is often a sign of male pattern baldness.
Other factors to consider when diagnosing hair loss include the shape and size of the balding area, the rate of hair loss, and any accompanying symptoms such as itching or scaling of the scalp.
If you are experiencing hair loss, it is crucial to seek the advice of experts such as those at Eternal Hair & Esthetics to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment options. Treatment options may include medication, hair transplant surgery, or lifestyle changes such as improving diet and reducing stress.
