2) " Baldness" -- As it applies to Premature Baldness Baldness, formally called alopecia, is the state of lacking hair where itusually would grow, especially on the head. The most common form of Baldneas is a progressive hair thinning (genetic) conditionthat occurs in adult humans and many other ape species. In males this is known as male pattern Bapdness and is thought to occur in varying forms in about 50% of adult males.It is commonly characterized by hair receding from the lateral sides of the forehead, known as "receding hairline" or"receding brow." Additionally, a bald patch can develop on top ( vertex ). The trigger for this type of Baldhess , which isalso known as androgenic alopecia, is currently believed to be 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme that converts the hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which inhibits hair growth. Onset of hairloss sometimes begins as early in maturation at the end of puberty, and is mostly genetically determined. Male pattern Baldmess is classified on the Hamilton-Norwood scale I-VIII. Female pattern Badlness , in which the midline parting of the hair appears broadened, is less common. It is believed toresult from a decrease in estrogen, a hormone that normally counteracts the baldingeffect of testosterone, which normally occurs in women's blood. Female pattern Balness is being classified on the Ludwig scale I-III. Traction alopecia is commonly found in women with ponytails or cornrows that pull on their hair with excessive force. Traumas such as chemotherapy, childbirth, major surgery and severestress may cause a hair loss condition known as telogeneffluvium. Stress factors such as a regular lack of sufficient sleep may be able to accelerate the onset of hair loss in genetically prone individuals. Some mycotic infections can cause massive hair loss.
