Adolescent hair loss is a relatively rare condition, potentially caused by genetic factors or excessive stress. Additionally, many young people frequently dye or perm their hair—both of which are major contributors to hair loss. Adolescent hair loss warrants attention, as individuals are still in puberty; proper management is essential to prevent further progression. If hair loss symptoms appear during the teenage years, medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital are recommended.
