COMMON TYPES OF HAIR LOSS

As we get older, a common problem we encounter is hair loss. Mostly men are affected by this age-related problem. But nowadays, there is an increasing number of hair loss cases in women. To make things worse, occurrences of hair loss in both genders are starting early.

There are a lot of factors that can cause hair loss and knowing these factors and causes are important for deciding which treatment to give. Below are common types of hair loss:

Androgenetic alopecia or “male pattern hair loss” in males, while it is called “female pattern hair loss” in women. This types of hair loss is due a genetic sensitivity to the hormone dihydrotestosterone or DHT. DHT is a powerful metabolite of testosterone and is formed when testosterone reacts to the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. Unfortunately, all this occurs on the skin and hair follicles. In individuals who are genetically predisposed to DHT, it causes the skin of the scalp to harden, shrinking the blood vessels of the hair follicle. This shrinkage deprives the hair follicles from receiving sufficient nutrients hence the hair loss.

Telogen Effluvium is described as severe hair loss in which the majority of hairs are forced to remain in the telogen phase of the hair growth cycle. Several events can lead to telogen effluvium like giving birth, hormonal changes, a major operation, severe dieting, a traumatic experience or simple stress.

Alopecia areata (AA) is another type of hair loss that is also genetically passed on to family members like androgenetic alopecia but AA far more worse because your own immune system attacks the hair follicles. This doesn’t only involve scalp hair but it affects all the hairs of the body, including eyebrows and lashes, pubic and underarm hair – everything.
