Tri-cities Sola Stylist

With Alopecia in the spotlight let’s talk hair loss and how to prevent it.
Alopecia is the medical term for “bald” or “hair loss.” This encompasses all kinds of hair loss, including male-pattern baldness (which women may also experience). But the form of alopecia that has taken center stage as a result of this years Academy Awards is alopecia areata — an autoimmune skin disease that can cause hair loss on the scalp, face, and other parts of the body.

The three main types of alopecia are: alopecia areata (areata means patchy) which appears as a patchy baldness anywhere on the body; alopecia totalis which is when someone loses all hair on their scalp; and the more rare alopecia universalis, which is when someone loses all of the hair on their body.

What causes it?
Alopecia develops when your immune system attacks healthy hair follicles, causing the hair to fall out. Unfortunately, scientists aren’t sure what causes this to happen. Although this hair loss can happen at any age, most people develop alopecia as children or teenagers, and about half experience hair regrowth within 12 months. Afterward, the hair may not fall out again, or it may continue falling and growing back in cycles.

Is there a cure?
There is currently no cure for alopecia. And although there are many treatment options, there is no single universal one. “I think it’s very important to get a diagnosis before you start treating your hair loss.

For just one client, I tend to use about 1-3 different tubs of bleach, 1-5 different developers, 1-10 different colors/toners, a TON of foil, and other hair products & tool essentials depending on hair goals, length, density, & type of hair I am working with.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
