I agree with drleela, it is wise to attempt constitutional treatment first, before using specific remedies. Alopecia is rarely an acute complaint, and needs to be made part of the whole picture.
I have seen several very good cures with Sulph and Tub. The Sulphur patient had complete alopecia from head to toe, and it took several months to grow back the hair. The Tub patient also had a familiy history, and she regained her hair in 2 weeks, although the loss was only circumscribed areas on her scalp.
There is a rubric, Hair, alopecia, in children - Bar-c and Nat-mur.
