This one is not ours to fix
Take this to a doctor
Round patches with normal hair right up to the edge is usually alopecia areata, which is autoimmune. A scalp that is red, flaky, itchy or sore is inflammation. Neither is pattern hair loss, and nothing on our shelf treats either of them.
Worth seeing someone about
Get this looked at soon
Skin that is smooth and shiny with no tiny pores in it usually means those follicles have scarred over and closed. That is not something a topical can reopen, and no oil, serum or supplement will bring hair back from it.
Tension damage
Take the tension off first
Broken or missing hair around the perimeter, with short snapped hairs rather than smooth skin, is usually traction: the same spots being pulled on day after day by tight styles, buns, braids or a hat.
Probably not pattern loss
Get bloods done before you spend much
Heavy shedding that started within a few months of an illness, a birth, a crash diet or a stretch of real stress is usually telogen effluvium. It is the whole head letting go at once rather than a pattern, and it typically settles on its own in six to nine months.
Density, not the hairline
Work on density and the scalp together
A parting that looks wider than it used to means density is dropping rather than the hairline moving. It is the usual first sign in women, and it responds better to working on the scalp and on density at the same time than to any one product on its own.
Crown thinning
Cover the crown properly, then treat it
The crown responds well to minoxidil, but it is the hardest area to reach, and most people under-treat it simply because they cannot see it. Stamp or massage first to get circulation up, then apply while the scalp is still warm.
Thinning all over
Start from the inside
Less hair everywhere rather than one bald area usually responds to supporting the follicle and fixing whatever is draining it, rather than to attacking a single patch. Start inside with a supplement and keep the scalp healthy while it recovers.
Pattern loss at the front
Treat the front, and be patient with it
A hairline creeping back, or corners hollowing out while the middle holds, is the most common first sign of pattern loss, and DHT is what drives it. This is the area minoxidil has the most evidence behind it for.
This is general guidance, not a diagnosis. Sudden loss, round bald patches, or loss that comes with pain, scaling or redness is worth taking to a doctor rather than treating at home.
