Learn about Hair Loss Types
There are many different types of hair loss, with Alopecia being one of the most common. Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors. For example, Alopecia is often triggered by an autoimmune disease, where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles instead of protecting them.
Other common causes of hair loss include menopause, age-related factors, pregnancy and childbirth, medication-related issues, trauma, as well as hereditary and genetic conditions.
Below, we’ve listed some of the most recognised and common types of hair loss. We offer consultations to help identify the best solution for your specific condition.

Types of Hair Loss
A form of acquired hair loss caused by prolonged or repetitive tension on the hair and scalp, often due to certain hairstyles.
A condition marked by rapid hair shedding, usually triggered by stress or a significant change in the body, such as pregnancy or illness. This is typically temporary, with hair growing back after the underlying cause is addressed.
Often caused by chemotherapy, toxins, radiation, or autoimmune diseases, this type leads to sudden and severe hair loss. Hair usually grows back after the treatment ends.
A rare form of alopecia that affects the sides and back of the scalp. It is an autoimmune disorder most commonly seen in younger individuals.
A rapid and noticeable drop in hair density due to a decline in oestrogen levels after childbirth. This condition often occurs during the postpartum period and is typically temporary.
The most common type of hair loss in women and often called female pattern hair loss or balding is often caused by hormonal changes, ageing, and genetics. Hair becomes thinner at the top of the head, and the middle part gradually widens. Unfortunately, this form of hair loss is permanent.
A mental health condition that compels individuals to pull out their own hair. This condition usually affects children between the ages of 10 and 13 and is often linked to emotional triggers such as stress, anxiety, boredom, or frustration.
