Definition
Hair loss can start with a few extra hairs in the sink or in your comb. Later, it can progress to a bare scalp.

Baldness typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp and can be the result of heredity, certain medications or an underlying medical condition. Anyone - men, women and children - can experience hair loss.
Some people prefer to let their baldness run its course untreated and unhidden. Others may cover it up with hairstyles, makeup, hats or scarves. And still others choose one of the medications and surgical procedures that are available to treat hair loss.

Male-pattern baldness typically appears first at the hairline or top of the head (crown). It can progress to partial or complete baldness.
Types
Female-pattern baldness
Female-pattern baldness typically starts with scalp hairs becoming progressively finer and shorter as you age. Many women first experience hair thinning and hair loss where they part their hair and on the top-central portion of the head.
In alopecia areata, hair loss occurs suddenly. It usually starts with one or more circular bald patches that may overlap.

Traction alopecia
Hair loss can occur if you wear pigtails, braids or cornrows or use tight hair rollers. This is called traction alopecia.
