Hair loss, also called alopecia, is a disorder caused by damage in hair follicles, or an interruption in the body’s cycle of hair production. Hair loss can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly affects the scalp. If this cycle is disrupted, or if a hair follicle is damaged, hair may begin to fall out more quickly than it is regenerated, leading to symptoms such as a receding hairline, hair falling out in patches, or overall thinning. Hair loss disorder may be hereditary or sometimes caused by certain medical conditions (hormonal imbalances) or individual habitual tendencies that may interrupt the growth cycle and cause hair loss. Hair loss disorder can affect both men and women, although however, mostly experienced by men.
