Alopecia is the generic term for hair loss.

ALOPECIA AREATA - is the loss of hair in patches. This can vary from the size of a pea to the total loss of scalp hair. The causes of Alopecia Areata are unclear, but certain factors are thought to influence the condition, ie genetic, auto-immune mechanisms, or excessive emotional stress or trauma.

GENETIC ALOPECIA ( common baldness ) - this condition mainly affects males, although females can also be affected. The hair recedes from the hairline and/or begins to thin at the crown. The common causes can be inherited, however, bad diet, drugs, stress, and hormones can also influence this condition.

TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM - the most common type of hair loss, which mainly affects women. This is a temporary disturbance of the normal hair growing cycle, where the growing stage of the hair is prematurely forced into it's resting stage - resulting in excessive hair shedding. Common causes can be related to stress, illness, drugs, and weight loss.
