August is Hair Loss


The month of August has been designated as hair loss awareness month by the American Academy of Dermatology .
Every year the AAD runs a public awareness campaign to educate people and to refute the hair loss myths that may delay millions from seeking diagnosis and treatment.
The public education campaign raises awareness about the signs of hereditary hair loss, a condition that affects 80 000 000 American men and women.
True or false?
1) A man will lose his hair only if his grandfather on his mother’s side was bald.

2) Women rarely lose their hair.

3) The likelihood of hair loss varies by racial heritage or ethnicity.
All of these statements are false says the AAD.
