Alopecia totalis is the loss of all head hair. Its causes are unclear, but it is an autoimmune disorder. Stress is sometimes thought to be a contributor to the hair loss caused by alopecia, however many people leading relatively stress-free lives have experienced the symptoms.

Methotrexate and corticosteroids have been proposed as treatments.[1]
