Hair loss is caused by many reasons such as malnutrition, illness, tension and other health problems.Perming, straightening, hair dyeing and bleaching ,hot combing, using heated rollers and hot wax inevitably damage the hair.Badly damaged hair breaks at the scalp.

Most likely alopecia, as others have said. I wanted to add that alopecia doesn't cause any problems beyond being bald... it doesn't make the person sick or anything, it just makes hair fall out.
Other possibilities include dietary problems, a skin infection, or an allergic reaction to shampoo.
It's most likely not anything scary.Health Question & Answer

could be Alopecia Areata, its a highly unpredictable autoimmune skin disease. It causes alopecia not only on the scalp but also in other hair growing areas of the body. It can affect men, women, or children. It is perhaps the second or third most common form of hair loss
