What is hair fall? Hair loss is when you start shedding more hair than you grow. Hair loss or fall can be temporary or permanent; it can affect your entire body, not just your scalp. Hair loss can be caused by medicine, disease, stress, genetics, hormones, infection, or just age. Hair starts falling when your hair follicles become weak and cannot hold the hair shaft. Moreover, an interrupted hair growth cycle due to a weaker immune system, medicine, or hormonal imbalance might also result in hair loss. Shedding 50 to 100 hair strands daily is common, but more than that might indicate hair loss condition. In the hair growth cycle, the hair
follicles in the anagen phase grow the hair strands, followed by the catagen phase, where the hair grows. Your hair naturally starts growing in the telogen phase. The shedding process is increased during the exogen phase. In addition, any disruption in the hair growth cycle speeds up the exogen phase, followed by poor to no hair re-growth.
Types of hair fall

Scarring alopecia: Scarring alopecia is also sometimes referred as cicatricial alopecia. It is a type of hair fall in which hair loss is permanent due to destroyed hair follicles. Thus, the hair strands cannot be grown back, leading to permanent hair loss. The hair follicles can be damaged or destroyed for several reasons, such as harsh chemicals, burns, injuries, inflammation, immune diseases, immune disorders, or infections. Scarring Alopecia can be further divided into two types, namely, primary and secondary scarring alopecia, based on the damage of the hair follicles.
●

These hair loss patches often start shedding hair in round or oval patterns; these patches might emerge or affect different parts of the body. Moreover, some people might experience mild burning or itching before hair falls.
●

●
Traction alopecia: Traction alopecia is result of hair bring constranly pulled back. This is often due to tight hairstyles such as tight french braids, ponytails, or high-buns. Hair tightly secured with tight rubber bands also leads to traction alopecia. However, chemicals used in bleaches or dye might also lead to this type of hair loss.
