Apart from this, there are numerous other types and categories of the same. For instance, involutional alopecia is a naturally occurring condition, in which the hair starts to thin with age. This happens most often, because of more hair going into the resting phase, which leads to reduced numbers and length.

On the other hand, there is alopecia areata, which attacks the hair of young people, mostly children. In rare cases, there is something called alopecia totalis, wherein there is complete baldness with loss of entire scalp hair. However, in most cases, the hair regrows in some time. There is also a more severe version of alopecia known as alopecia universalis, wherein the hair from all parts of the body are also lost, including the eyebrows and lashes.

Then there is the condition that in medical terms is known as  telogen effluvium and is a thinning of hair, that is short lived. This happens during the transition periods between the anagen-catagen or catagen-telogen phases. Since hair is in a rest period, there is thinning and shedding, but this is generally not an elongated phase.
