Alopecia Areata:

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to sudden, patchy hair loss on the scalp or other parts of the body. It can occur at any age and may result in complete baldness in severe cases.

Telogen Effluvium: Telogen effluvium is a temporary form of hair loss characterized by excessive shedding of hair, usually triggered by significant physical or emotional stress, illness, surgery, childbirth, or abrupt changes in diet. It disrupts the hair growth cycle, leading to increased shedding of hair in the telogen (resting) phase.

Traction Alopecia: Traction alopecia occurs when constant pulling or tension on the hair follicles damages them, leading to hair loss. This can result from tight hairstyles like ponytails, braids, or extensions, as well as frequent use of hair tools and accessories that pull on the hair.

Trichotillomania: Trichotillomania is a psychological disorder characterized by the compulsive urge to pull out one's hair, leading to noticeable hair loss and bald patches. It is often triggered by stress, anxiety, or boredom, and individuals may feel a sense of relief or gratification after pulling out hair.
