Hair loss can occur anywhere on the body and varies widely in cause and severity. Only a medical provider can diagnose the specific type of alopecia.

Alopecia can be divided into two main categories: non-scarring and scarring.

Non-Scarring Alopecia:
1. Androgenic Alopecia: Also known as male and female pattern hair loss, this is the most common type, affecting about 50% of men and 15% of women. It is primarily influenced by genetics and hormones like DHT.
2. Telogen Effluvium: This type arises from a disruption in the natural hair growth cycle, leading to a shorter anagen (growth) phase and longer telogen (shedding) phase. It can be triggered by factors such as illness, poor nutrition, or certain medications.
3. Alopecia Areata: This condition can affect any hair on the body. When it affects specific areas, it is called alopecia areata. If it causes complete bald patches, it is known as alopecia totalis, and when it affects the entire body, it is termed alopecia universalis. It is believed to be an autoimmune condition.
4. Traumatic Alopecia: Similar to traction alopecia, this type results from repeated tension on the hair shaft and follicle, often due to hair pulling or hairstyles that strain the hair for long periods. It is more common in children.

Scarring Alopecia:
Also known as cicatricial alopecia, this less common form involves the irreversible destruction of hair follicles, which are replaced by scar tissue. All forms of cicatricial alopecia share this outcome, despite differing causes.

Understanding the specific type of hair loss is crucial for effective treatment, so consult a medical provider for a proper diagnosis.

Androgenic alopecia, commonly known as pattern hair loss, occurs more frequently in males than in females, affecting approximately 50% of men and 15% of women. This condition results from a combination of genetics and hormones.

Male Pattern Hair Loss:
- Typically begins above the temples and at the crown of the head.
- Leads to a characteristic M-shaped hairline.
- Rarely progresses to complete baldness, usually leaving hair at the sides and back of the head intact.

Female Pattern Hair Loss:
- Causes diffuse thinning of hair over the entire scalp.
- Does not typically result in a receding hairline.
- Hair loss is more gradual and less noticeable than in males.

Understanding these differences is essential for effective hair loss management.

In essence, the hair growth cycle comprises four primary stages. These stages include the growth phase (anagen), regression phase (catagen), quiescence/resting phase (telogen), and shedding phase (exogen). While each phase encompasses multiple transition periods, these four main stages are fundamental to understanding hair growth dynamics. In healthy individuals, approximately 90 percent of all hairs on the scalp are in the growth phase (anagen).
