This type of hair loss is also called Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA).
In women, it can begin in the middle part of the hair and gradually spread out; we call this the 'Christmas Tree" effect.
It can also begin in the temple areas; you will start to notice that the hair in the temples gradually gets thinner and begins to move back. For most men, it begins in the temple or crown area.
This loss of hair occurs due to a hormone called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the by-product of testosterone and an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, causing the hair to become smaller and weaker and eventually unable to grow.
This type of hair loss often occurs when people are going through a stressful time in their life, medication introductions, or adjustments or after surgery. Typically it lasts less than six months; however, chronic telegenic effluvium can last years and, if not treated, can become permanent.
Anagen Effluvium is the sudden fallout of hair during the growing phase. This typically is the result of medications related to chemotherapy.
Trichotillomania is a condition in which the person involved has a compulsive habit of pulling their hair. Some find great comfort in it, while others are unaware that they are doing it. It often provides great relief to the individual but can cause permanent hair loss. The pulling can break and fracture the hair strands, and in severe cases where the root is extracted, the follicle can become permanently damaged, unable to regrow hair. Seeking the advice of a medical doctor and Trichologist is often recommended.
Micronutrient, nutrient, calorie and protein deficiencies, and sudden weight loss can negatively affect hair growth.
Insufficient supplementation, bariatric surgery, crash dieting, and the now popular anti-diabetic drugs used for weight loss such as Wegovy and Mounjaro are common causes of Nutritional Hair Loss.
