About Your Hair

Hair loss, or alopecia, can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, certain medications, underlying medical conditions, and physical or emotional stress. Some common types of hair loss include male and female pattern baldness, which is caused by genetics and hormones; telogen effluvium, which is temporary hair loss that can be caused by physical or emotional stress; and alopecia areata, which is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss in patches.
