Yes. While most women with androgenetic alopecia have a diffuse hair loss pattern all over the top and sides of the scalp as indicated in the Ludwig Classification Chart, it is possible for women to develop hair loss that looks similar to the Norwood Classification of male pattern baldness. It is however, not very common and can develop when high levels of testosterone are produced. If you experience large amounts of hair loss unexpectedly you should see a physician as it may be a symptom of a larger underlying problem.
