Overview
There are many kinds of hair loss, including what we call:
*) Alopecia areata (patches of baldness that usually grow back);
*) Telogen effluvium (rapid shedding after childbirth, fever, or sudden weight loss); and
*) Traction alopecia (thinning from tight braids or ponytails).
All of these types of hair loss can be alarming but, fortunately, they are most often mild and temporary or reversible.
The majority of people who lose their hair, however, do it gradually and all through the scalp, with some emphasis on the frontal part.
Doctors refer to this process as "androgenetic alopecia" which implies that a combination of hormones (andro-) and heredity (genetics) is needed to develop the condition

Hair loss (alopecia) can affect just your scalp or your entire body. It can be the result of heredity, certain medications or an underlying medical condition. Anyone — men, women and children — can experience
hair loss.
Baldness typically refers to excessive
hair loss from your scalp. Some people prefer to let their baldness run its course untreated and unhidden. Others may cover it up with
hairstyles, makeup, hats or scarves. And still others choose one of the medications or surgical procedures that are available to treat
hair loss.
Before pursuing any treatment option, talk with your doctor about the cause of and best possible treatments for your particular type of
hair loss.
