Hair loss

Hair loss is a common condition that affects individuals of all ages and ethnicities worldwide. It can occur in both men and women due to various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, and lifestyle influences.

In men, the most prevalent form of hair loss is male-pattern baldness, which typically begins with a receding hairline and thinning at the crown, eventually leading to complete baldness. Female-pattern baldness, in contrast, usually results in a widening part and overall hair thinning.

Other types of hair loss include alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss, and telogen effluvium, a temporary form of hair loss triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes.
