Hair loss can affect individuals in various ways, and understanding the different types is crucial for seeking effective treatment. Here, we provide an overview of various hair loss types, their causes, and why choosing our clinic can help you regain your confidence and healthy hair.

Types of Hair Loss

1. Alopecia Areata

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system attacks hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss on the scalp and other areas. It can progress to alopecia totalis (complete scalp hair loss) or alopecia universalis (complete body hair loss).

2. Androgenic Alopecia

Androgenic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness, is a hereditary condition characterized by a progressive thinning of hair. Men typically experience a receding hairline and bald spots, while women notice general thinning, especially on the crown.

3. Anagen Effluvium

Anagen effluvium is rapid hair loss resulting from damage to the hair follicles during the anagen (growth) phase. It is commonly associated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

4. Telogen Effluvium

Telogen effluvium occurs when a large number of hair follicles enter the telogen (resting) phase simultaneously, causing excessive shedding. It can be triggered by stress, illness, hormonal changes, or medications.

5. Trichotillomania

Trichotillomania is a psychological condition where individuals compulsively pull out their own hair, leading to noticeable hair loss. This condition often requires psychological intervention and behavioral therapy.

6. Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA)

CCCA is a type of scarring hair loss that primarily affects African American women. It starts at the crown of the scalp and spreads outward, leading to permanent hair loss and scarring.

7. Lichen Planopilaris

Lichen planopilaris is an inflammatory condition causing patchy hair loss and scarring on the scalp. It is a form of lichen planus that affects the hair follicles, leading to permanent hair loss.

8. Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE)

DLE is a chronic autoimmune condition affecting the skin, causing red, inflamed patches that can lead to scarring and permanent hair loss if it involves the scalp.

9. Tinea Capitis

Tinea capitis, or scalp ringworm, is a fungal infection of the scalp causing patches of hair loss. It is contagious and often affects children. Treatment involves antifungal medications.

10. Alopecia Universalis

Alopecia universalis is an advanced form of alopecia areata, resulting in complete hair loss on the scalp and body. It is an autoimmune disorder and can be challenging to treat.
