Despite the hopes of many, the autoimmune disease alopecia is not a curable disease. Fortunately, there is lots of information and research about the disease, its underlying mechanisms, as well as old and new treatments including light therapies, injectables, hair transplantation, and even supplements and OTCs. Furthermore, this paper will explore the various side effects, cost, and effectiveness of these therapies based on experiments done with them. This paper will introduce various non-scarring alopecias such as alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, and telogen effluvium and describe what makes them occur. This paper will also explain the large impact of diets as well as different types and components of each diet that can contribute to controlling and preventing alopecia. Explore the underlying mechanism of the effects of COVID-19 and the COVID-19 vaccine on the body that can cause alopecia.
