In the past six months, my son has experienced hair loss, and I am very worried about him. Will hair lost during adolescence grow back?

Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Whether hair loss in adolescents will regrow depends on the cause of the hair loss and the extent of hair follicle damage. If the hair loss is caused by unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as staying up late, high mental stress, malnutrition, etc., and the hair follicles are not severely damaged, hair usually can regrow through lifestyle adjustments, balanced nutrition, stress reduction, and similar measures. If the hair loss is caused by conditions such as heredity, seborrheic dermatitis, or androgenetic alopecia, treatment may be more challenging. However, as long as the follicles are not completely damaged, medical treatments, traditional Chinese medicine regulation, physical therapies, and other methods may still promote hair regrowth. In cases of severe hair loss where the follicles are significantly damaged, the possibility of natural hair regrowth is low. In such situations, hair transplantation surgery or similar procedures may be considered to restore hair density.
