CROWNING GLORY

摘要

Millions of men and women in the UK suffer from hair loss. A recent survey on behalf of Re-gaine found that almost half (49 per cent) of pharmacists are asked for advice on hair loss at least once a month. According to Marilyn Sherlock, chairman of the Institute of Trichologists, there are at least 50 different reasons for hair loss or "alopecia". She says: "These are mainly due to a person's genetic inheritance or hormonal changes. Age is not a factor and, as yet, hair loss caused by stress is unproven — although physical stress such as an injury to the head or scalp could cause hair loss in the affected areas."
