Commonly known as Male or Female Pattern Hair Loss, this form of hair thinning is progressive and hereditary. It typically follows a recognizable pattern and is influenced by hormones and genetics.
A temporary hair loss triggered by physical or emotional stress, illness, or major life changes. This condition causes more hairs than usual to enter the shedding (telogen) phase at once.
An autoimmune condition where the body attacks its own hair follicles, causing round patches of hair loss on the scalp or body. Severity can vary from small spots to complete hair loss (Alopecia Totalis or Universalis).
A group of rare disorders that destroy hair follicles and replace them with scar tissue. This form of hair loss is often permanent and requires early diagnosis and care to prevent progression.
Hair loss due to repeated tension on the scalp from styles like tight ponytails, braids, or extensions. It’s preventable and often reversible if caught early and styling habits are changed.
A mental health condition involving the compulsive urge to pull out one’s own hair, leading to noticeable hair loss. It’s often tied to stress, anxiety, or sensory processing and may require a multidisciplinary approach.
Fluctuations in hormones—such as after childbirth, with PCOS, menopause, or thyroid imbalances—can disrupt the hair growth cycle, causing thinning or shedding. This type often overlaps with other forms of hair loss.
Hair requires proper nutrients to grow and maintain strength. Deficiencies in iron, protein, zinc, or vitamins like B12 and D can lead to thinning, breakage, or slowed growth, especially in restrictive diets or malabsorption conditions.
