Understanding hair loss

Hair loss describes a change in the amount or distribution of hair. Shedding, gradual thinning and patchy loss are not interchangeable diagnoses. This guide gives Lincoln-area clients a starting point for discussing their concerns.

Common patterns and causes

Hereditary hair loss can cause a receding hairline, thinning crown or widening part. Other causes include illness-related shedding, some medical treatments, scalp conditions and hairstyles that place tension on hair. Alopecia areata is an immune-related condition.

The cause affects whether hair may recover and what treatment is appropriate. See the AAD overview of hair loss causes for further explanation.

Choose the right next step

For new or unexplained hair loss, arrange an assessment with a healthcare professional. Do not stop prescribed medication or start a treatment based only on a website description.
