Many notable figures, including Vin Diesel, Dwayne’ The Rock’ Johnson, and Bruce Willis, have reportedly experienced alopecia alongside celebrities like Tina Turner, Neve Campbell, and Christopher Reeve. Alopecia, commonly known as hair loss or baldness, presents in various forms. Identifying your alopecia type is crucial for selecting an appropriate hair loss treatment.
Alopecia Areata (AA): This autoimmune condition causes hair loss, which typically starts with small, round patches that may expand. Sometimes it is more diffused overall thinning. It affects both genders and typically starts in childhood. Approximately 2% of the global population suffers from it.
Alopecia Barbae: A variant of alopecia areata, this type impacts facial hair, particularly the beard area in men.
Alopecia Mucinosa: This condition is characterized by an unusual buildup of mucin in hair follicles and skin, leading to scaly skin patches. While no definitive treatments exist, the symptoms often resolve within a few months to two years.
Alopecia Totalis (AT): Unlike alopecia areata’s patchy hair loss, AT leads to complete baldness and rarely reverses.
Alopecia Universalis (AU): A rare and extensive form of alopecia areata, AU results in total hair loss across the body.
Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA): Commonly known as male-pattern baldness, it also affects women. It starts at the temples and crown in men, while in women, it usually involves hair thinning without total baldness. Androgens, male hormones present in small amounts in women, drive it.

Scarring Alopecia (Cicatricial Alopecia): This is a rare type characterized by redness, heat, pain, or swelling of the scalp. The exact cause is unknown.
Traction Alopecia is caused by prolonged tension on the hair, often caused by specific hairstyles like braids or tight ballet buns. Persistent traction can prevent new hair follicles from developing, leading to permanent hair loss.
