In both women and men, the specific hormone responsible for Hormonal Hair Loss is the same, it's called dihydrotestosterone, which is also known as DHT.

What is Alopecia Areata?
Alopecia Areata occurs when your immune system attacks your hair follicles. It may even be brought on by severe stress you are experiencing. You can expect sudden hair loss that starts with one or more circular bald patches.
​
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes your hair to fall out, quite often it comes out in clumps the size and shape of a quarter at times. The amount of hair loss is different in everyone, men or women. Alopecia Areata can be scarring or non-scarring. Scarring Alopecia is when the hair does not grow back and is permanently lost due to an attack on the follicle. Non-Scarring Alopecia is characterized by a cycle of loss and regrowth in certain areas.
​
Some people lose their hair only in a few spots. Others lose a lot, even all of their hair. Sometimes, hair grows back but unfortunately falls out again later. In others, hair grows back for good.
