What are the Different Types of Hair Loss?

Hair loss can manifest in various forms, each requiring tailored care. The most common types include:

  • Androgenetic Alopecia: Also known as pattern baldness, this hereditary condition affects both men and women. It typically presents as thinning hair on the crown and a receding hairline.
  • Alopecia Areata: Patchy hair loss associated with an autoimmune disorder. This condition may progress to total hair loss in severe cases.
  • Telogen Effluvium: Temporary hair shedding often triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes. It is characterized by a sudden thinning of hair across the entire scalp.
  • Traction Alopecia: Caused by repeated tension on hair follicles from tight hairstyles, hair loss is preventable with proper hair care practices.
  • Scarring Alopecia: Deficiency in hair follicles can lead to irreversible hair loss. Keeping the damage from getting worse requires prompt treatment.
