Alopecia: what is it and how can we help?

Alopecia is a medical term for hair loss, and it affects many of our customers at Adore My Wig. Hair loss can have a profound impact on your confidence and well-being, and we understand how difficult this experience can be. At Adore My Wig, we offer a personal and empathetic approach to help you find a solution that suits you.

What is alopecia?

Alopecia is a condition that leads to hair loss on the scalp and sometimes on other parts of the body. There are different forms of alopecia, each with its own characteristics and causes.

The most common forms of Alopecia

Alopecia Androgenetica

This is the most common form of hair loss, also known as hereditary hair loss. It affects both men and women and is caused by a genetic sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In men, it often leads to receding hairlines and bald spots on the crown, while in women it results in diffusely thinning hair over the entire scalp.

Alopecia Areata

This is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, leading to sudden hair loss in round or oval patches. It can occur on any part of the body and the severity can range from small bald spots to complete hair loss on the head (alopecia totalis) or even the entire body (alopecia universalis).

Telogen Effluvium

This is a temporary form of hair loss that occurs when a large number of hair follicles simultaneously enter the resting phase (telogen phase). This can be caused by stress, illness, hormonal changes, or certain medications. The hair loss is usually diffuse and can recover once the underlying cause is addressed.

Traction Alopecia

This form of hair loss is caused by repeated pressure or tension on the hair, often from tight hairstyles such as braids, ponytails, or wearing extensions. Avoiding such hairstyles can help with hair recovery.

You are not alone

If you are dealing with alopecia, it is important to know that you are not alone. Many people, both men and women, are affected by different forms of hair loss. At Adore My Wig we understand the emotional impact alopecia can have and are ready to help you.
