To keep up with the times, I’ve joined various social networking sites and regularly blog, tweet, and check Facebook. The channels are useful for me, as I like to keep an eye on industry news and engage with the hair loss community, which is very active online via numerous forums and blogs. I was amused […]
Last August, I blogged about the attention David Beckham was receiving in the media due to a questionable photo of the back of his head in The Daily Mail. The image seemed to show a bald patch near the top. Now Becks’ barnet is back in the spotlight, with the footballer confirming that he may […]
Footballers and their hair styles have always made headlines and sparked trends. From Bestie’s barnet to Beckham’s Brylcreem – men take note of what footballers are doing with their follicles! Twitter provides the perfect platform for soccer stars to keep their fans informed of their every move. After Wayne Rooney took to Twitter to promote […]

A survey of members of the ISHRS – one of the world’s leading medical authorities on hair loss and hair restoration – found between 2008 […]
I was recently asked to comment on the relationship between stem cells and hair loss for an article entitled ‘The end of baldness’. New research suggests that bald men are not in fact bald, but the stem cells of a bald scalp are producing growths that are just too fine to be seen by the naked […]
Katie Price is not the first female celebrity who is said to have suffered from hair loss. Less than a year ago, photographs emerged of Naomi Campbell showing visible bald spots. Two very different women, one cause of hair loss – traction alopecia! This problem is something I’ve commented on many times before. But for […]
