Androgenic alopecia is commonly referred to as male or female pattern hair loss. It is the most common cause of gradual hair thinning. It's rooted in a genetic sensitivity of certain hair follicles to normal hormones in the body, especially DHT (dihydrotestosterone). 

Hair grows in a natural cycle that includes active growth (anagen), a brief transition (catagen), and a resting phase (telogen). Telogen Effluvium occurs when a larger than normal number of hair follicles shift prematurely into the resting resting phase. Several weeks to months later, this can lead to a noticeable shedding and thinning. The good news? Telogen Effluvium is often temporary and reversible once the underlying trigger is addressed 

Have you noticed thinning hair or bare patches; especially around your edges, temples, or the nape of your neck where your hair is often pulled tightly? You may be experiencing traction alopecia. A form of hair loss caused by prolonged tension and pulling on the hair follicles. 

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy hair follicles, leading to hair Loss. It often presents as sudden, round or oval bald patches. Most commonly on the scalp, but it can also affect the beard, eyebrows, eyelashes, and other areas of the body.
