ALOPECIA 

 Abnormal hair loss is called alopecia (al-oh-PEE-shah). The three most common types of abnormal hair loss are androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, and postpartum alopecia.

004) Hair loss that may occur from the wearing of braids, cornrows, and extensions:

A) Alopecia

B) Postpartum Alopecia

C) Alopecia Androgenica

D) Traction Alopecia

TRACTION ALOPECIA

 Traction alopecia (al-oh-PEE-shah).....This condition is particularly prevalent among African-American women and children. It begins with scalp irritation and excessive flakiness, and eventually leads to hair loss, particularly around the hairline. Wearing excessively tight braids (tight enough to pull the hair or impede circulation to the scalp) over a prolonged period of time can lead to permanent hair loss. Keep in mind that while braids are beautiful, they must be without excessive tension to avoid long-term follicle damage.

005) Type of hair loss mostly associated with men.

A) Postpartum Alopecia

B) Alopecia areata

C) Alopecia Senilis

D) Androgenic Alopecia

ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA

Androgenic alopecia (an-druh-JEN-ik _ al-oh-PEE-shah), also known as androgenetic alopecia (an-druh-je-NETik _ al-oh-PEE-shah), is hair loss that is characterized by miniaturization of terminal hair that is converted into vellus hair. It is usually the result of genetics, age, or hormonal changes that cause terminal hair to miniaturize Androgenic alopecia can begin as early as the teens and is frequently seen by the age of 40. By age 35, almost 40 percent of both men and women show some degree of hair loss. an·dro·gen (ndr-jn) n. A steroid hormone, such as testosterone or androsterone, that controls the development and maintenance of masculine characteristics. Also called androgenic hormone

127) The term "Alopecia" refers to:

BALDNESS/HAIR-LOSS

ALOPECIA  Abnormal hair loss is called alopecia (al-oh-PEE-shah). The three most common types of abnormal hair loss are androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, and postpartum alopecia.

128) Alopecia resulting from constant tension on the hair (ex: extensions): 

A) Post-partum

B) Traction

C) Androgenic

D) Areata

TRACTION

Traction alopecia.....This condition is particularly prevalent among African-American women and children. It begins with scalp irritation and excessive flakiness, and eventually leads to hair loss, particularly around the hairline. Wearing excessively tight braids (tight enough to pull the hair or impede circulation to the scalp) over a prolonged period of time can lead to permanent hair loss. Keep in mind that while braids are beautiful, they must be without excessive tension to avoid long-term follicle damage.

129) This type of Alopecia often occures after the completion of a pregnancy:

A) Post-partum

B) Traction

C) Androgenic

D) Areata

POST-PARTUM

Postpartum alopecia (POHST-pahr-tum al-oh-PEE-shah) is temporary hair loss experienced at the end of a pregnancy. For some women, pregnancy seems to disrupt the normal growth cycle of hair. There is very little normal hair loss during pregnancy, but then there is sudden and excessive shedding from three to nine months after delivery. Although this is usually very traumatic to the new mother, the growth cycle generally returns to normal within one year after the baby is delivered

130) Genetic type of Alopecia most often occurring in men:

A) Post-partum

B) Traction

C) Androgenic

D) Senilis

ANDROGENIC

Androgenic alopecia (an-druh-JEN-ik _ al-oh-PEE-shah), also known as androgenetic alopecia (an-druh-je-NETik  _ al-oh-PEE-shah), is hair loss that is characterized by miniaturization of  terminal hair that is converted into vellus hair. It is usually the result of genetics, age, or hormonal changes that cause terminal hair to  miniaturize (In men, androgenic alopecia is known as male pattern baldness and usually progresses to the familiar horseshoe-shaped fringe of hair. In women it shows up as generalized thinning over the entire crown area. Androgenic alopecia affects millions of men and women in the United States.

131) Type of Alopecia with unknown causes, thought to be genetic, and usually resulting in total hair loss over the entire body: 

A) Androgenic

B) Senilis

C) Universalis

D) Totalis

UNIVERSALIS

Alopecia areata (al-oh-PEE-shah _air-ee-AH-tah) is an autoimmune disorder that causes the affected hair follicles to be mistakenly attacked by a person’s own immune system. White blood cells stop the hair growth during the anagen phase. It is a highly unpredictable skin disease that affects an estimated 5 million people in the United States alone. This hair disorder usually begins with one or more small, round, smooth bald patches on the scalp and can progress to total scalp hair loss, known as alopecia totalis (al-oh-PEE-shah _  toh-TAHL-us), or complete body hair loss, called alopecia universalis            (al-oh-PEE-shah _ yoo-nih-vur-SAA-lis). Alopecia areata occurs in males and females of all ages, races, and ethnic backgrounds and most often begins in childhood. The scalp usually shows no obvious signs of inflammation, skin disorder, or disease.

287) Type of Alopecia associated with wearing braids and extentions:

A) Androgenic 

B) Areata

C) Postpartum

D) Traction

TRACTION ALOPECIA

It begins with scalp irritation and excessive flakiness, and eventually leads to hair loss, particularly around the hairline.

288) Type of Alopecia associated with continuous tension on the root:

A) Androgenic 

B) Areata

C) Postpartum

D) Traction
