It is more common nowadays for women to be more outspoken about their hair loss and
celebrities are no different. Regardless of whether they have lost their hair as a result of chemotherapy or because they have alopecia, more and more people are becoming educated about female hair loss and it is hoped that this will encourage women to notice to signs that could potentially lead to them losing their hair.
For some women such as Bernie Nolan and Jade Goody, they lost their hair as a result of their battle with cancer. Most women who suffer hair loss during and after chemotherapy and radiotherapy do find that their hair returns, however this can take some time but you need to be patient. The hair will only return once the hair follicles have recovered from the treatment and provided that you are not putting yourself under an undue amount of stress.
However, for others such as Gail Porter and Erin, the former wife of Tiger Woods they are suffering with hair loss as a result of alopecia. Although there are many forms of alopecia, most are caused by stress and events, which are going on in their lives. Going through a divorce, not having a good work life balance or a trauma in your life can all cause hair loss.
