In cases of alopecia premature, the loss of hair is noted more than usual-shedding and one notices it on comb or pillows. The hair falling starts from temples and vertex and although the hair may re-grow, it is thin or less vigorous until it ceases to appear. The hairline at the sides of the forhead slowly goes on receding while center of forehead retains the hair for some time. The appearance of the forehead will be like an arch. In some cases, the entire length of hair on temples and forehead recede in a straight line and the forehead shines without hair. In other cases, the hair loss their strong appearance and go on thinning at temples over the whole of crown along with thinning at temples or thin hair extend their regime from vertex forward. Either of the stated preliminary processes occurs and finally baldnesson the head is noted under symmetrical conion of the progressive stat of this alopecia being untreated,gradual thinning of the hair,left on the scalp,ensues. This process of balding is never rapid and it is very seldom that the hair loss is replaced by growing of gray hair. There is no fast rule for all the frrowth and falling of hair and it depends upon individual to individual. But most of the times,it is seen that the sides and back of the head remains unaffected.
