There are many differences between children and adults in terms of physiological, anatomical, cognitive, social and emotional factors that affect the causes of hair loss.
Genetic hair loss does not affect children because it does not occur until later in life. Nevertheless, children may experience hair loss worries caused by diet, stress and hair as adults.
Alopecia areata can occur at any age, but most cases first develop in children and adolescents. Alopecia areata is a disease that causes sudden hair loss caused by stress in the scalp. Not permanent hair loss, especially for children, can often be psychologically harmful to cope. With alopecia areata, the body’s immune system attacks hair follicles and causes hair loss.
Inappropriate maintenance of protection against curling and static sticking, trailing hair from tight tailed tail or gigantic traction can cause children hair loss. In children, the epidermis is more incarcerated and less keratinized compared to adults. As a result, children are at increased risk of increased absorption of substances that can be absorbed. For this reason, shampoos must be carefully selected as children respond faster to chemical shampoos.
Trichotillomania is one of the most common causes of children hair loss. It is a form of hair loss because of the necessity of unconsciously pulling on one’s own hair while learning about leisure time or distracting.
