In fact there are actually 3 types of hair disorders caused by alopecia and they are different in their severity:

•    The first condition is Alopecia areata this causes hair to fall out in patches all over the body.

•    The next, alopecia totalis, makes the scalp rapidly shed hair in a very short space of time.

•    Finally, alopecia universalis, as it name suggests causes those afflicted to lose hair from not only the head and face, but all over the body simultaneously
