    GlossaryTemporary Hair Loss (Temporary Alopecia)

    condition where hair falls out but regrows over time

    Temporary Hair Loss, also known as Transient Hair Loss or Temporary Alopecia, refers to a condition where hair falls out but is expected to regrow over time. This can be caused by factors such as stress, illness, hormonal changes, or certain medications. Unlike permanent hair loss, the hair follicles remain intact, allowing for the possibility of full recovery once the underlying cause is addressed.
