Hair loss takes two forms: shedding hair in excessive amounts, and hair follicles becoming dormant and not growing new hairs. In the case of pattern baldness in men and women, the follicles stop producing hair. There are numerous causes of excessive hair shedding, and both physiological and emotional stress can cause hair loss. Whereas pattern baldness can only be treated with medications, stress related hair loss is usually a reversible condition.
