Alopecia is a medical condition that causes hair loss. Alopecic is an adjective that describes someone who is experiencing hair loss because of this condition. However, there are other words that can be used as synonyms for alopecic that describe various stages of hair loss. Bald, hairless, bare, and lackluster are some examples of words that can be used to describe the condition of alopecia. While there may be shame or embarrassment associated with hair loss, finding alternate terms to describe it can shift the conversation towards acceptance and self-love. Whatever term one chooses to use, it is important to remember that hair loss does not define a person's worth or beauty.
