Hair loss is a common concern for people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. Whether you're experiencing thinning hair, bald patches, or overall hair loss, it can significantly impact self-esteem and confidence. At Revivv.co, we understand the importance of addressing hair loss comprehensively, so we're delving into the various types of hair loss to provide valuable insights and solutions.
 

Androgenetic Alopecia: Also known as male-pattern or female-pattern baldness, androgenetic alopecia is the most common type of hair loss. It is characterized by a gradual reduction in hair density, typically starting at the temples or crown of the head in men and leading to a receding hairline or bald spot. In women, it often results in overall thinning of the hair.

Telogen Effluvium: Telogen effluvium occurs when there is a sudden and significant shedding of hair, typically triggered by stress, illness, hormonal changes, or certain medications. This hair loss causes more hairs to enter the telogen (resting) phase of the hair growth cycle, leading to excessive shedding after a few months.

Anagen Effluvium: Anagen effluvium is characterized by the sudden loss of hair during the hair follicles' active growth phase (anagen). This type of hair loss is often associated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy treatments for cancer, as these treatments target rapidly dividing cells, including hair follicles.

Alopecia Areata: Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes patchy hair loss on the scalp, face, or other body areas. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to hair loss. Sometimes, alopecia areata may progress to total hair loss (alopecia totalis) or loss of all body hair (alopecia universalis).

Tinea Capitis: Tinea capitis, also known as scalp ringworm, is a fungal infection that affects the scalp and hair follicles. It can cause hair loss, scaling, and inflammation of the affected areas. Tinea capitis is more common in children but can also affect adults.

Cicatricial Alopecia: Cicatricial alopecia, also known as scarring alopecia, refers to hair loss due to the destruction of hair follicles and their replacement with scar tissue. This hair loss is often permanent and can result from various inflammatory conditions, such as lupus, lichen planus, or folliculitis.

Hair Shaft Abnormalities: Hair shaft abnormalities refer to structural defects in the hair shaft, which can result in breakage, thinning, or hair loss. These abnormalities can be genetic or acquired, including conditions such as trichorrhexis nodosa, monilethrix, or trichorrhexis invaginata.

Hypotrichosis: Hypotrichosis is a rare condition characterized by sparse or absent hair growth affecting the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, or other body areas. It may be congenital (present at birth) or acquired later in life due to various factors, including genetics, hormonal imbalances, or medical conditions.
