Hair Loss Occurring In Bands Or Waves
The hair loss happens in a pattern of bands or waves, usually at the circumference of the head. This type of hair loss pattern categorizes as Ophiasis, which is a type of alopecia areata. The term Ophis, coming from the Greek language, means a snake. As the hair loss pattern is in the form of waves or snake-like shape, that is why this type of hair loss is known as Ophiasis.
