You may have Alopecia.

Alopecia is a hair loss condition that can happen for reasons including genetics, autoimmune issues, or other factors. It can manifest in different ways, such as patches of hair loss or gradual thinning of the hair.

As a trichologist, I understand the social and emotional impact of scalp conditions and hair loss. Book a scalp analysis with me and find out if you have Alopecia, which type you might have, and how to treat it effectively.

Alopecia areata 

is a hair loss condition where a person’s immune system attacks their hair follicles, causing them to fall out in small, round patches. This type of alopecia could impact other hair-bearing areas of the body like eyebrows, eyelashes, and beards.

Diffuse Alopecia

is a treatable condition caused by a disruption in the hair growth cycle. It is often caused by stress, changes in medication, and a drastic diet. Book today with a trichologist to find out what has caused your hair shedding and how to make the changes needed to stop more shedding.

 

Cicatricial alopecia 

is a type of hair loss where the hair follicles are permanently damaged and replaced by scar tissue. The key is early detection to stop the destruction of the follicles early on.

Traction Alopecia

is a type of hair loss that happens when there’s repeated pulling or tension on the hair follicles. It can occur due to tight braids, ponytails, ballerina buns, or hair extensions.


 
 

Postpartum Alopecia

 is a temporary hair loss that occurs after giving birth. Many women experience changes in their hormones post-partum that can cause sudden shedding.

Keep taking your prenatal vitamins. The good news is the hair will grow back. It will take about three months. Reach out for more information.
