Hair loss
Hair loss, also known as alopecia, is a condition characterised by the partial or complete loss of hair from areas of the body where hair is normally present. It can occur on the scalp, as well as in other areas like the eyebrows, eyelashes, and body. Hair loss is a common concern for both men and women and can have various causes and patterns.
What are the types of Hair Loss?
- Androgenetic Alopecia (Male and Female Pattern Baldness)
Gradual hair thinning, often hereditary.
- Alopecia Areata
Sudden hair loss in small, round patches due to the immune system attacking hair follicles.
- Telogen Effluvium
Sudden, widespread shedding of hair due to factors that disrupt the normal hair growth cycle.
- Traction Alopecia
