Q70 Is hairline design the same for women and men?
Conclusion
No. Women's hairlines generally retain curvature and a fine-hair transition zone. Systemic factors such as endocrine or thyroid disorders and iron deficiency should be ruled out first.
Supporting information

Risks and limitations
Diffuse hair loss in women may also affect the donor area, and assessment may conclude that surgery is unsuitable.
