Patterned hair loss is the most common cause of hair loss seen in both the sexes
after puberty. Numerous classification systems have been proposed by various
researchers for grading purposes. These systems vary from the simpler systems
based on recession of the hairline to the more advanced multifactorial systems
based on the morphological and dynamic parameters that affect the scalp and the
hair itself. Most of these preexisting systems have certain limitations.
Currently, the Hamilton-Norwood classification system for males and the Ludwig
system for females are most commonly used to describe patterns of hair loss. In
this article, we review the various classification systems for patterned hair
loss in both the sexes. Relevant articles were identified through searches of
MEDLINE and EMBASE. Search terms included but were not limited to androgenic
alopecia classification, patterned hair loss classification, male pattern
baldness classification, and female pattern hair loss classification. Further
publications were identified from the reference lists of the reviewed articles.
