Occipital hair loss refers to the thinning or loss of hair at the back of the head, specifically in the occipital region, which is located near the base of the skull. This type of hair loss can be caused by various factors, including genetic predisposition, traction alopecia from tight hairstyles, or medical conditions such as alopecia areata. Understanding the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment and management.
