• Trichotillomania: Compulsive hair plucking, sometimes caused by a psychological disorder.

• Telogen effluvium: Unusually accelerated hair loss, may be caused by hormonal, stress related, nutritional, or drug related causes.

• Loose-anagen syndrome: A condition where scalp hair is easily pulled out with normal activity such as brushing.

• Triangular alopecia: Hair loss around the temples, no known cause.
