What are the Reasons Behind Hair Loss ?

Trichotillomania:

          This Problem seen most frequently in children, is a psychological disorder in which a person pulls out one’s own hair.

Telogen effluvium:

          It is temporary hair thinning over the scalp that occurs because of changes in the growth cycle of hair. A large number of hairs enter the resting phase at the same time, causing hair shedding and subsequent thinning.

Scarring alopecia (Cicatricial Alopecia):

          It results in permanent loss of hair. Inflammatory skin conditions (cellulitis, acne) and other skin disorders (such as some forms of lupus and lichen planus) often result in scars that destroy the ability of the hair to regenerate. Hot combs and hair too tightly woven and pulled can also result in permanent hair loss.
