Can the thin area in my hairline be fixed? It has never gotten worse.

This  is a common variant of hair loss in women. It can be from previous hair styling, genetic or age-related hair loss. Options for treatment include minoxidil, oral and topical, PRP, topical Peptides and nutraceuticals. If the hair loss has been less than five years, the likelihood of regrowth is increased.

A:  It is fairly common to see this in female hairlines and it's easily fixed with a transplant. Whether the thinning is due to tight pony tails/braids or just natural asymmetry of the hairline, a transplant is feasible.  Make sure you consult with a doctor who has extensive experience working with female patients to ensure the most natural result.

Keep in mind this could still be within the realm of normal. Many women have this hairline (even without traction). But yes, you can change it. Keep in mind if you do thin over the next 40-60 years it may look strange and more transplants will be needed. But yes it can be changed. 

Thinning to the side temporals is a common presentation in women.  Typically this area does not have the density (number of hairs per unit of area) compared to the rest of the scalp.  The follicle groupings are mainly one and two hairs, typically with few three of four hair groupings.  As a result, any change in hair volume - either through loss of hair density or loss of hair volume secondary to miniaturization will be amplified in this area.  I typically recommend PRP and Minoxidil treatment to build up the existing hair, but may also combine this with hair transplantation to build up the density/long term results.

Many women lose corner hair which is easy to put back with a hair transplant. The results can be very impressive, see below
