Alopecia

Alopecia affects men and women alike and is characterized by partial or complete hair loss. The most common form of alopecia occurs just in the scalp, but extreme cases can develop in the entire body. Baldness, which is very common and mainly prevalent in men, is a form of alopecia.

Alopecia can be caused by many factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, certain medical conditions, or simply getting older. Its consequences are mainly aesthetic, but celebrities such as Theresa Hansson from Sweden have repeatedly challenged the preconceived notion that baldness isn’t beautiful.
