Discover the leading causes of alopecia and how to manage them to have healthier and denser hair.

Alopecia is a generic term for hair or hair loss, regardless of the area and cause. In practice, it mainly refers to hair loss, resulting in abnormal hair loss that can evolve from scarcity to baldness. Discover the leading causes of alopecia and how to manage them to have healthier and denser hair.

What are the different types of alopecia?

The growth of the hair is done from the pilary bulb. According to different stages that define the pilary cycle: it grows (anagen phase), it involutes (catagen phase), then it falls and remains at rest for a while (telogen phase).

It is, therefore, normal to lose hair, on average, about fifty per day.

This hair loss becomes abnormal when it affects more than a hundred hairs/day over several weeks.

 

In about 90% of cases, it is androgenetic alopecia.

It is found in the vast majority of men after age 50, often with a much earlier appearance, from the age of 20, but it is also found in about 20% of women after menopause.

This baldness begins with the frontal and temporal lobes before reaching the top of the skull (tomb).

The last stage of baldness is hippocratic alopecia, where only the low crown is spared under the temples above the neck.
