hair loss
Gradual follicle failure
Hair loss is the partial or complete absence of hair from areas where it normally grows, most commonly the scalp.
It can result from genetics, aging, medical conditions, stress, or certain treatments like chemotherapy.
The medical term is alopecia.
Hair loss affects both men and women, though male pattern baldness—a receding hairline and thinning crown—is the most recognized form.
