Symptoms and Causes of Alopecia Areata Full Report

​​Defining the disease:

Alopecia areata is a medical term that is used to mean spot baldness. Hair fall is a very common process. Any healthy human being loses almost 50-100 hair strands per day. This type of hair loss is not abnormal. But when this number increases to 200 strands per day it is a problem that will only lead to baldness.

Reason behind spot balding:

The type of hair loss where the immune system starts attacking the hair follicles by mistake is called alopecia areata. In this case hair is lost from some areas as in some spots and slowly it might spread to the entire scalp. Usually the damage done to these follicles is not permanent. It is still a mystery why the immune system starts to attack the hair follicles. This type of hair loss is generally found in people who are less than the age of 20. But people of any age can suffer from this hair loss. Both men and women are affected by this disease equally.

​​Types of alopecia hair loss:

 Alopecia areata can be the reason for different types of balding. Each of these balding has different names.

  • Alopecia areata– the type where hair is lost in patches.
  • Alopecia totalis- the type where all the hair on the scalp is lost.
  • Alopecia universalis: the type where all the hair on the body is lost.

How to cure this disease:

Alopecia cannot be totally cured but there are ways it can be treated and in a few months hair will grow back in those areas. For treating alopecia corticosteroids sometimes injected in the affected areas or taken orally or can be applied on the skin by rubbing on it. Topical immunotherapy is done in some cases. When the hair loss is widespread or it keeps recurring this process is used.

Other ways of treating the disease:

In the initial stages of the treatment these are some of the things that you can do to help yourself overcome the disease. Using make up to minimize or hide the balding. This is preferred by most. You can also cover your head by wearing hats or scarves. Even wigs are used by many people.

Sometimes stress can play a major role in hair loss. Many people who are diagnosed with alopecia have been seen suffering from stress due to work pressure or any problems in the family. So reducing stress can be really helpful.

People with alopecia areata can use temporary makeup solutions to disguise the disease.  One great solution are hair building fiber by Finally Hair.  The fibers can be used to increase the thickness of the existing hair making it possible to comb over the bald spot and look totally natural.  Finally Hair fibers come in 20 hair colors and they work on all hair types.  You can shop by hair fiber color or by product type.

If you have alopecia areata it is best that you first purchase the refillable bottle of hair building fiber.  Then once the bottle is empty you can refill it with Finally Hair refill bags.

We suggest you let your hair grow enough that you can use your natural hair to disguise and cover the bald spot area as much as possible.  Comb your existing hair over the bald spot if possible.  Then apply the fibers to that spot.   You may also want to apply some fibers to your existing hair to thicken it and make it look like a perfect match.  Lastly use Finally Hair Spray to lock the fibers to your hair.
