Alopecia Areata

Alopecia areata is a type of hair loss that occurs when your immune system mistakenly assaults hair follicles , which is where hair growth begins. The damage to the follicle is usually not permanent. Experts do not know why the immune system attacks the follicles. Alopecia areata is most common in people younger than 20, but children and adults of any age may be affected. Women and men are affected equally.

Alopecia areata usually begins when clumps of hair fall out, resulting in totally smooth, round hairless patches on the scalp. In some cases the hair may become thinner without noticeable patches of baldness, or it may grow and break off, leaving short stubs (called "exclamation point" hair). In some cases, complete loss of scalp hair and body hair occurs. The hair loss often comes and goes-hair will grow back over several months in one area but will fall out in another area.

When alopecia areata results in patches of hair loss, the hair usually grows back in a few months. Although the new hair is generally the same color and texture as the rest of the hair, it sometimes is fine and white.

Because hair is an important part of appearance, hair loss can result in feeling unattractive. In some people with alopecia areata, the fingernails and toenails become pitted-they look as if a pin had made many tiny dents in them. They may also look like sandpaper.

ArganRain products have positive effects on androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. You should use the oil and the hair care product together.
