Hair loss is also known as alopecia. Hair loss can be temporary or permanent. It can affect just scalp or the entire body. When it just affects scalp, it is called baldness. Hair loss can be due to variety of reasons such as hormonal changes, hereditary factors, increasing age or some underlying medical conditions. Hair loss is more prevalent in men though it also affects females. Usually people cover it up with wigs, different hairstyles, hats or scarves. However, now-a-days hair transplant is being preferred over other hair treatments.
