    hair loss without permanent follicle damage, allowing potential regrowth

    Non-Scarring Alopecia, also known as Non-Cicatricial Alopecia, refers to hair loss where the hair follicles are not permanently damaged, meaning the potential for hair regrowth remains. This type of hair loss can be caused by various factors such as hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata, and it contrasts with scarring alopecia, where hair follicles are irreversibly destroyed.
