The Full Picture

Hair loss has more than one root cause. We look at all of them.

Genetic, hormonal, scalp condition, systemic, metabolic, and life load, most cases involve more than one. Explore each domain below, then see which treatment may be used to address it.

Explore the Six Domains

Hair loss rarely comes from a single cause. At Transitions of Indiana, every evaluation looks across six domains, because two people with the same symptom can need two completely different treatment plans. This page is a reference for understanding what's actually happening, for men and women alike, and what can be done about it.

The six domains of hair loss

Tap a panel to expand it and see causes and the treatments that typically apply.

01 · GENETIC
01 · GENETIC

Androgenic Alopecia

Hereditary thinning at the crown or temples, in both men and women. Follows a predictable pattern and responds best when caught early.

02 · HORMONAL
02 · HORMONAL

Telogen Effluvium

Triggered by hormonal shifts, pregnancy, menopause, andropause, or thyroid changes. Usually temporary once the underlying shift is addressed.

03 · SCALP HEALTH
03 · SCALP HEALTH

Seborrheic Dermatitis

A healthy scalp is the foundation for regrowth. Flaky, oily, or irritated scalp conditions can slow or block healthy hair cycling.

04 · SYSTEMIC
04 · SYSTEMIC

Alopecia Areata

An autoimmune response, or other systemic illness, that causes patchy or diffuse hair loss. Health history matters as much as hair history here.

05 · METABOLIC
05 · METABOLIC

Metabolic

Nutritional deficiencies, metabolic syndrome, and rapid changes in weight or medication, including GLP-1 medications, can all affect the hair growth cycle.

06 · LIFE LOAD
06 · LIFE LOAD

Life Load

Sustained stress and major life events place a physical burden on the body that can trigger shedding, separate from any single medical diagnosis.
