Hair Loss
Hair loss or baldness involves the state of lacking hair where it often grows, especially on the head.
The most common form of baldness is a progressive hair thinning condition called androgenic alopecia or “male pattern baldness” that occurs in adult male humans and other species.
The severity and nature of hair loss or baldness can vary greatly. It ranges from male and female pattern alopecia (androgenetic alopecia, also called androgenetic alopecia or alopecia androgenetica), alopecia areata, which involves the loss of some of the hair from the head, and alopecia totalis, which involves the loss of all head hair, to the most extreme form, alopecia universalis, which involves the loss of all hair from the head and the body.
Onset of hair loss sometimes begins as early as end of puberty, and is mostly genetically determined.
