TLDR Most hair loss cases are caused by four main conditions, and understanding them is key to treatment.
In 1987, the paper "Diagnosis and management of the hair loss patient" by J.D. Stroud stated that telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, traction/chemical alopecia, and androgenetic alopecia were responsible for over 90% of all hair loss cases seen by dermatologists. The author emphasized the importance of a thorough understanding of these hair diseases for effective management of patients experiencing scalp hair loss.
