    GlossaryTrauma

    physical injury or deeply distressing experience affecting hair health

    Trauma refers to a physical injury or a deeply distressing or disturbing experience. In the context of hair and alopecia, trauma can include physical damage to the scalp, such as from tight hairstyles or harsh chemical treatments, as well as emotional stress, both of which can lead to hair loss. For professionals, understanding the type and source of trauma is crucial for diagnosing and treating hair loss effectively.
