There is no universal treatment. , because alopecia can be caused by many factors – lifestyle, drugs or bio-supplements, hormonal background, stress, genetics.

Determining the type of alopecia
Baldness in men or alopecia manifests itself in different ways. Hair can fall out in different ways. You can determine the type of baldness using the list below:
- Horseshoe. With this type of hair stops growing or falls out first near the forehead line, later alopecia spreads to the entire fronto-parietal part. As a result, the baldness area takes the shape of a horseshoe, which is why it got its name. Often this type of baldness is hereditary. It is very difficult to stop the genetic disease, but there are drugs and treatment options that can help slow down hair loss a bit;
- Nest. Hair begins to fall out from the top, and eventually the nest turns into a horseshoe. Baldness according to this type can begin at a fairly young age, which causes great discomfort. But even with this type of alopecia, the masters of our barbershop will help you choose the right haircut (usually they are quite short). You don’t need to try to mask a planned or already existing baldness with long hair, combing them or collecting them in a bundle – such hairstyles in most cases look unnatural and do not provide the masking functions you were hoping for. Moreover, when a bald spot is visible through such hair designs, it becomes clear to others how desperately you are trying to hide this flaw. This evokes a complex mixture of feelings consisting of pity, sympathy and curiosity – hardly any man wants such emotions directed in his direction. Therefore, if you see that the hair on the top of your head begins to fall out, immediately make an appointment with a trichologist and in barbershop for choosing a haircut;
- Vognyshcheva. With this type of baldness, hair may begin to fall out in different areas, and this happens simultaneously. As a rule, the whiskey, the back of the head and the top of the head are the first to suffer. The situation is complicated by the fact that the hair falls out unevenly, and if you do not choose the appropriate type of haircut, the head looks very untidy. Alopecia areata has an autoimmune nature, it can be difficult to determine the true cause of the disease. Sometimes it stops for no apparent reason by itself, and hair loss stops, and later the hair cover is almost completely restored. But not everyone is so lucky – there are frequent cases when focal alopecia led to complete baldness;
- Diffuse. With this type of alopecia, hair falls out relatively evenly over the entire head. In many cases, this option is well treated if the cause of the disease is correctly identified. It is often associated with an unhealthy lifestyle, stress – when these factors are eliminated, hair stops falling out.
