Is Hair Loss Permanent?

It’s normal to lose hair and there are many causes for hair loss. Normally we lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day, without even noticing. Usually this is not anything you need to be worried about, but sometimes it can also be a sign of something more serious such as a medical condition or disease. There are types of hair loss which are permanent, but many types of hair loss are treatable with hair growth shampoo in combination with an hair growth roller.

What types of hair loss do exist?

The most known types of hair loss are androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, traction alopecia, cicatricial alopecia and alopecia totalis.

Androgenic alopecia is known as male-pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness. Your genes and environment play a role in causing this type of hair loss. In women, hair thinning is often a symptom, but your hairline does not recede and you’re not likely to become completely bald. When you’re a man, the condition often leads to complete or partial baldness. You can reduce the symptoms of this type of hair loss by treating androgenic alopecia with a hair growth shampoo as soon as possible.

Alopecia areata is known as patchy baldness and can show up anywhere on your body, but many experience a round or oval patch on the scalp. In this condition your immune system decides to attack your hair follicles by mistake. Your hair may grow back on its own, but it is possible that it falls out again. You can activate hair follicles with a hair growth roller on spots where baldness seems to appear.

Traction alopecia is a type of hair loss that happens because you’re repeating pulling or stretching your hair follicles. Wearing tight ponytails, buns, dreadlocks, hair extensions, weaves or braids can lead to hair follicle damage and when the follicles are damaged than it is impossible to grow new hairs.

Cicatricial alopecia is a scarring type of alopecia that involves inflammation that destroys hair follicles. The destroyed follicles get replaced by scar tissue, resulting in permanent hair loss.

Alopecia Totalis is a form of alopecia areata that makes you lose all the hair on your scalp. This form of hair loss is difficult to treat and sometimes not even possible. It can be said that this type of hair loss is permanent.
