You might have heard of a number of celebrities that have suffered with hair loss over the years, but some choose to keep it private, as they have found it hard to come to terms with what has happened to them. However, Gail Porter in particular thought it was important to publicise the fact that she has lost her hair as a result of alopecia so that other women that might have gone through it didn’t feel like they were on their own.
You shouldn’t ever feel like you can’t go to somebody for help for your hair loss and confiding in your family doctor is essential if you want to get to the root cause of the problem. There are many different kinds of hair loss including alopecia and telogen effluvium, however both of these forms of hair loss are temporary and can be treated with a number of different methods including medication.
If you feel self conscious about your hair loss, you might want to consider wearing a wig. This can often boost your self confidence and make it look a lot less obvious that you have lost some or all of your hair and can easily be removed once your hair has started to grow back.
