What is Alopecia Areata and Alopecia Capitalis Totalis ...

Alopecia Areata is a condition where hair loss usually occurs suddenly in circular patches on the scalp. The areas of hair loss are random on the scalp, unlike in Male/Female Pattern Baldness where hair loss occurs in a definite sequence. Alopecia areata sufferers may also experience hair loss on other parts of the body as well as the scalp. Males, females and children can all experience this condition. A small percentage of sufferers go on to experience total hair loss on the scalp and this is referred to as Alopecia Capitalis Totalis.

Even if sufferers undergo no treatment, one third of Alopecia Areata sufferers will regrow all their original hair within six months and half the people within one year. The rate of recovery for any Alopecia Areata sufferer is quicker with the use of 101 Hair Products.

How it occurs ...

Alopecia Areata occurs when the body's immune system attacks the hair bulb in people with a certain genetic make up. This misdirected immune system response prevents new hair growth. The hair follicles become dormant but do not die so there is always a chance for hair re-growth.
