Hair loss has many causes and most are treatable, but only once the cause is known. Early care protects the follicles that can still regrow.
Traction alopecia from tight styles, patchy alopecia areata, scarring alopecia, hormonal thinning, breakage from chemicals and heat, and scalp infections all look different under the dermatoscope and need different treatment.

Ask on WhatsAppHair grows in cycles from follicles in the scalp. Anything that disturbs the cycle, inflames the follicle or damages the hair shaft causes shedding, thinning or patches.
In Tanzania the commonest causes are traction from tight braids and weaves, chemical and heat damage, scalp infections and, in women, hormonal and nutritional changes. Some forms scar the follicle permanently if treatment is late.
Scarring alopecias destroy follicles that never regrow. Treatment started early can stop the loss where it is and bring back hair in the follicles that are only resting.
The process
Dermatoscopic examination of the scalp, a pull test, and blood tests or a small scalp biopsy where the pattern is unclear.
Matched to the diagnosis:
Hair grows about a centimetre a month, so regrowth is judged at three and six months. Shedding often slows within weeks.
Loss stopped and density improved where the follicles are alive. PRP and mesotherapy can be added where suitable.

I am a dermatologist and aesthetic medicine practitioner, and my work is about three things: healthy skin, natural beauty and a better quality of life for every patient, through care grounded in evidence. My clinical practice covers the diagnosis and management of skin, hair and nail conditions, alongside advanced aesthetic treatments planned around each patient.
If the follicles are not scarred, usually yes with treatment. The examination tells us which kind you have.
Tight styles over years are the commonest cause of hairline loss we see. Looser styles and breaks between them protect the follicles.
Yes. Fungal and bacterial scalp infections are common and respond well once confirmed.
Sometimes, to check iron, thyroid and hormones when the pattern suggests it.
A first discussion, yes. Diagnosis needs the dermatoscope, so an in-person visit follows.
