Hair loss is a common phenomenon that affects millions of people worldwide. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, approximately 50 million men and women in the United States experience hair loss each year. This staggering statistic highlights the prevalence of this condition, which can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life.
The most common type of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, accounting for around 95% of cases. This condition is caused by the presence of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair follicle miniaturization and eventual hair loss. The National Institutes of Health estimates that by age 50, approximately 85% of men and 50% of women will experience some degree of hair loss.
In addition to androgenetic alopecia, other forms of hair loss include alopecia areata, which affects around 2 million people in the United States, and telogen effluvium, a condition that causes excessive shedding. The American Hair Loss Association reports that an estimated 30% of women experience some degree of hair loss during their lifetime.
While hair loss can be a distressing experience, it is essential to remember that there are effective treatments available. Medications such as finasteride and minoxidil can help slow down or stop hair loss, while surgical procedures like hair transplantation can restore natural-looking hair growth.

should have acted faster, but kept ignoring extremely annoying folliculitis + existing scalp dermatitis, thinking it’s alright
later on, decided to tackle

These are now super sparse bangs and there are legitimate bald spots

22h hair loss led to having to wear extensions and lots of hair treatments to try to repair our hair. Luckily it wasn’t so bad for me and my hair is okay now but my skin wasn’t, we got breakouts a lot and had dryness especially on our legs
