Hair Loss Awareness Month, 1st-31st August

Posted by: Victoria Hamerton - Posted on:

Did you know that August is Hair Loss Awareness Month? You may not know this, but it’s normal to lose around 50-110 hairs per day.

Normally losing extra hair is nothing to worry about, but excessive loss can be a sign of an underlying condition, such as stress, iron deficiency or weight loss. It can also be a side effect of cancer treatment. There are often a range of treatment options available, and you may be able to access support if the loss is impacting on your wellbeing and confidence.

If you’re worried, it’s important to speak to your Doctor.
