Hair Loss Solutions – Treatments for Thinning and Hair Loss Conditions

At California Hair Extensions, Josette Desrosiers is also a Certified Hair Loss Specialist. She is dedicated to finding cosmetic solutions for different types of hair loss conditions including the ones below:

Alopecia Areata

This is an autoimmune condition that causes the body’s immune system to attack hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss. These coin-sized patches of baldness most commonly occur on the scalp but can appear anywhere on the body.

Traction Alopecia

This is caused by hairstyles which pull the hair back so tightly that they remove the roots from the scalp. Permanent hair loss can occur when such excessive tension is applied, since new hair follicles cannot develop.

Telogen Effluvium

This condition is generally triggered by stages of stress or trauma (such as childbirth, bereavement and serious illness) and results in an excessive amount of hair loss, with 30% or more of scalp hair shifting to the telogen (shedding) phase – three times the normal amount. This is a temporary condition and hair regrowth is therefore to be expected.

Androgenetic Alopecia

This condition is commonly known as male or female pattern baldness and in men often results in a receding hairline and thinning crown. Women, on the other hand, tend to experience an overall thinning of their hair but are rarely left completely bald.

Alopecia Totalis

This condition affects both men and women. It is a more advanced form of alopecia areata that causes hair loss on the face and entire scalp. The chances of alopecia areata resolving itself after reaching the alopecia totalis stage are small. Although, in some isolated cases, hair follicles can start to grow again.

Anagen Effluvium

Normally caused by cancer treatment drugs, anagen effluvium results in patchy hair loss and eventually a total loss of hair. It usually grows back after treatment ceases though.

Trichotillomania

This is a type of impulse control disorder. People with these disorders know that they can do damage by acting on the impulses, but they cannot stop themselves. People who have trichotillomania have an irresistible urge to pull out their hair, usually from their scalp, eyelashes, and eyebrows. They may pull out their hair when they’re stressed as a way to try to soothe themselves.
