Hair Loss Awareness Month – August 2024

With hair loss being an all too real yet less talked about issue, Hair Loss Awareness Month, observed in the month of August each year, highlights the need for us to be talking more about hair and the impact hair loss can have in our lives. It’s a misconception to think that hair loss is primarily an issue for males, as it can affect many females and children too. While men may be more susceptible to issues like male-pattern baldness and alopecia, thinning hair and alarming levels of hair fall in women and children are also causes for concern these days. There are several factors that can affect hair loss — heredity, acute stress, disease, medical treatments (like chemotherapy), strong medications, dietary restrictions, grooming and styling practices, trauma, and even pregnancy.  To obtain further information, please HAIR LOSS AWARENESS MONTH (nationaltoday.com)
