Hair loss, also known as alopecia, refers to the partial or complete loss of hair from the scalp or other parts of the body. It can occur due to various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, and lifestyle choices. Hair loss can manifest as thinning of hair, receding hairlines, bald spots, or complete baldness. It can impact both men and women and may lead to emotional distress and a decreased sense of self-confidence. Understanding the underlying causes of hair loss is crucial in determining the appropriate treatment approach to promote hair regrowth and restore a fuller, healthier appearance.
Types of Hair Loss
Androgenetic Alopecia (Male and Female Pattern Baldness)
This is the most common type of hair loss, characterized by a gradual thinning of hair on the scalp. In men, it often results in a receding hairline and balding at the crown. In women, it leads to diffuse thinning of hair across the scalp.
Alopecia Areata
This is an autoimmune condition that causes sudden hair loss in small, round patches. It can affect any hair-bearing area of the body, including the scalp, eyebrows, and beard.
Telogen Effluvium
This type of hair loss occurs due to a sudden shock or stress to the body, causing hair to enter the resting phase (telogen) prematurely. It results in diffuse shedding of hair.
Anagen Effluvium
Often caused by chemotherapy or radiation therapy, this type of hair loss affects the hair in its growing phase (anagen). It leads to sudden and widespread hair loss.
Traction Alopecia
This is caused by excessive tension or pulling on the hair shafts, often due to hairstyles like tight braids, ponytails, or hair extensions.
