    disruptions in normal hair cycle causing loss or abnormal growth

    Hair Growth Disorders refer to a range of conditions that affect the normal cycle of hair growth, leading to issues such as excessive hair loss (alopecia), abnormal hair growth patterns, or changes in hair texture and color. These disorders can be caused by genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying medical conditions, and they often require a multidisciplinary approach for diagnosis and treatment.
