Various aetiologic factors are implicated in non-scarring alopecia, including genetic predisposition, loss of immune privilege, oxidative damage, and hormonal fluctuations. Telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and female pattern hair loss are the main causes of non-scarring alopecia in females of all ages.
