What is Hair Loss and Its Types ?

          Hair loss also known as Alopecia It means loss of hair from the head or body. Baldness can refer to general hair loss or male pattern hair loss.

There are many types of hair loss

Involutional Alopecia:

Involutional Alopecia          It is a natural condition in which the hair gradually thins with age. More hair follicles go into the resting phase, and the remaining hairs become shorter and less in number.

Androgenic Alopecia:

androgenetic alopecia           It is a genetic condition that can affect both men and women. Men with this condition, called male pattern baldness, can begin suffering hair loss as early as their teens or early 20s. It is characterized by a receding hairline and gradual disappearance of hair from the crown and frontal scalp. Women with this condition, called female pattern baldness, don’t experience noticeable thinning until their 40s or later. Women experience a general thinning over the entire scalp, with the most extensive hair loss at the crown.

Alopecia Areata:

alopecia areata          It starts suddenly and causes patchy hair loss in children and young adults. This condition may result in complete baldness (alopecia totalis). But in about 90% of people with the condition, the hair returns within a few years.

Alopecia universalis:

Alopecia universalis          It causes all body hair to fall out, including the eyebrows, eyelashes, and pubic hair.
