Total loss of scalp hair – same as Alopecia Areata but more severe condition.
It is the name given to an acquired non-specific hair loss characterized by a gradual or sudden reduction in hair-shaft density per square centimetres over the entire scalp region.
Negligent hairdressing procedures are capable of initiating levels of hair loss by:
Epilation – the forced extraction of the hair-shaft from its host follicle. This trauma may cause the follicle to miniaturize and thereafter produce a finer shorter hair-shaft, or to the follicle may survive to create a normal hair-shaft. The worst scenario being destruction of the follicle and permanent loss of that hair.
