Alopecia this, Effluvium that...
There is a large population of people suffering from
forms of hair loss not related to Male or Female pattern baldness.
On the average, hair loss experienced in women tends to be
of these types, rather than your standard DHT inflicted loss
that most men and some women experience. Hair loss seen in
women and children can be considered less common, and consequently
it is many times the result of other causes.
These "non-traditional" forms of Alopecia (hair
loss) come in many forms, and more often than not, don't resemble
your standard appearance of balding. The good news for men
and women experiencing some of these types of Alopecia's,
is that there is almost always a very specific underlying
cause.
Many times, the cause can be isolated and treated with medications
or simply the passing of time. If this is done successfully,
complete restoration of lost hair can be experienced. Finding
information on the "other" forms of hair loss is
often quite difficult, so we have included an in-depth look
at each of the most common "uncommon" forms of hair loss.
We hope this guide will be of help to you in your research.
