    widespread hair thinning across the entire scalp

    Diffuse Alopecia, also known as Diffuse Hair Loss or Diffuse Thinning, is a condition characterized by a widespread thinning of hair across the entire scalp rather than in localized patches. This type of hair loss can be caused by various factors, including nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, stress, or underlying medical conditions, and it typically does not result in scarring of the scalp.
