Sexual maturity generally occurs once the scalloped hammerhead attains {{convert|240|cm|ft}} in total or longer. Physically, the mature females have considerably wider uteri than their maturing counterparts.

The male-to-female ratio of the scalloped hammerhead is 1:1.29.<ref name="link.springer_a" /> Females probably are capable of giving birth annually,<ref name="link.springer_a" /> usually in the summer.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}}
