Types of Hair and Scalp Disorders
Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. When internal imbalances, lifestyle factors, or scalp problems occur, they often show up as visible hair disorders. These conditions can affect hair growth, texture, colour, or cause progressive hair loss if left untreated.
Understanding the type of hair disorder and its root cause is the first step toward effective treatment and long-term hair health.
Common Scalp Problems
Dandruff (Pityriasis Capitis)
Dandruff is one of the most common Scalp Problems, marked by excessive flaking of dead skin cells from the scalp. While mild flaking is normal, persistent dandruff indicates an underlying scalp imbalance.
Dandruff Causes
Oily or dirty scalp- Pollution and environmental exposure
- Heat and humidity
- Use of harsh hair products
- Fungal overgrowth
- Low immunity
- Hormonal imbalance and Nutritional deficiencies
With the right Dandruff Treatment , flaking, itching, and irritation can be controlled long-term.
Scalp Folliculitis
Scalp folliculitis is an inflammatory condition caused by infection of hair follicles.
Symptoms include:
- Small red bumps or pustules
- Scalp tenderness and itching
- Temporary hair loss in affected areas
Scalp Folliculitis treatment prevents scarring and permanent damage.
Scalp Psoriasis
Scalp psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterised by thick, silvery scales and redness.
Scalp Psoriasis Symptoms
- Often extends beyond the hairline
- May cause intense itching
- Can lead to temporary hair fall due to inflammation
It requires long-term management rather than short-term fixes.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
Seborrheic Dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory Scalp Disorder related to excess oil production and yeast overgrowth.
Seborrheic Dermatitis Causes/ Symptoms:
- Greasy, yellowish flakes
- Redness and itching
- Can affect scalp, eyebrows, ears, and face
- More severe than simple dandruff
This condition often needs ongoing scalp care and maintenance.
Common Hair Disorders
Diffuse Hair Loss
Diffuse hair loss refers to overall thinning of hair across the scalp rather than visible bald patches. Hair density gradually reduces, making the scalp more noticeable, especially along the parting and crown. This Type of Hair Disorder often develops slowly and is commonly linked to internal imbalances.
Common causes include:
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Hormonal imbalance
- Chronic stress
- Poor scalp health
- Underlying medical conditions
Early identification of diffuse hair loss allows targeted correction of the cause and helps restore healthy hair growth patterns.
Telogen Effluvium
Telogen Effluvium is a temporary but sudden hair shedding condition where a large number of hair follicles enter the resting (telogen) phase prematurely. This results in noticeable hair fall, often occurring a few weeks to months after a triggering event.
Common triggers include:
- Genetic predisposition
- Physical or emotional stress
- Sudden weight loss
- Recent illness or surgery
- Thyroid imbalance
- Iron or protein deficiency
With early diagnosis and proper management, Telogen Effluvium is reversible, and Natural Hair Regrowth can be effectively supported.
Patchy Hair Loss – Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune hair disorder where the immune system attacks hair follicles, leading to sudden patchy hair loss.
Symptoms include:
- Genetic predisposition
- Usually presents as round or oval bald patches
- Can affect scalp, eyebrows, beard, or body hair
- Physical trauma to hair
- Hair regrowth is possible with proper treatment
Baldness – Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic Alopecia is the most common cause of baldness in both men and women. It is genetically determined and hormone-driven.
Male Pattern Baldness
Men experience receding hairlines and crown thinning
Female Pattern Baldness
Women experience widening of the central part and diffuse thinning. Timely intervention can slow progression and improve hair density.
Premature Grey Hair
Premature greying occurs when hair loses pigment earlier than expected.
Premature Grey Hair Causes:
- Genetic predisposition
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Oxidative stress
- Hormonal imbalance
- Chronic stress
Addressing the cause early may slow further greying.
Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania is a psychological hair disorder where individuals compulsively pull out their hair.
Trichotillomania Causes/ Symptoms:
- Genetic predisposition
- Leads to irregular patchy hair loss
- Hair follicles are usually healthy
- Requires behavioural and medical intervention
Trichorrhexis Nodosa
Trichorrhexis Nodosa is a structural hair shaft disorder that causes hair to break easily.
Trichorrhexis Nodosa Causes:
- Genetic predisposition
- Excessive chemical treatments
- Heat styling
- Physical trauma to hair
- Nutritional deficiencies
Hair appears frizzy, weak, and prone to breakage.
