There are many female celebrities who have suffered with hair loss whilst they have been famous and they have told the world why they are losing their hair. You might remember Gail Porter famously telling everybody that she had alopecia and that it was a rare genetic form of alopecia that she was suffering with.

In more recent times, one of the Nolan sisters has recently been treated for cancer and has a result has lost her hair because of the chemotherapy and radiotherapy that she has been going through.

This is often quite comforting to other women who are also going through the same things in their lives because it feels as though they are not alone. There is nothing worse than when you are suffering with hair loss either as a result of cancer treatment or because of some kind of other female hair that you are on your own and you have nobody to relate to.

You should never feel as though you have nobody to talk to about the female hair loss that you are going through. It would be an appropriate time to talk to the other women in your family or close friends network to discuss female hair loss and how some forms of it can be treated.

A mum-of-two from Tuam in County Galway has spoken out on what is often perceived to be an embarrassing medical condition – female hair loss. Vivienne McIntyre has spoken to local newspapers and even appeared on a TV show to talk about her fight with not one, but two types of alopecia.

Vivienne, 52, first realised she was losing her hair when she awoke to clumps of it lying on her pillow. At the GP’s office, she was told in no uncertain terms to prepare herself for total baldness. She describes her experience, saying:

“I always had a great head of hair. Then last year, I started noticing hair on my pillow every morning. I ignored it for a while, but it started getting worse and worse.

“I went to two different doctors and their lack of empathy was overwhelming.

“I was told it was due to menopause and to forget about it — at least I didn’t have cancer. I went away feeling very alone, guilty and down.”

This continued until Vivienne visited a trichologist, a specialist in female hair loss, who told her that she had two types of alopecia. She is currently undergoing hair loss treatment and is in recovery.

Overall, Vivienne wants to use her experience to tell other women suffering from hair loss not to be embarrassed or to pretend it isn’t happening. Her message to hair loss sufferers is: “you are not alone”.

Hair loss amongst women is not something that is often talked about, but there have been many female celebrities over recent months and years who have started to come and talk openly about their hair loss and how it has affected them.

For most women who are suffering with some form of hair loss it can be very embarrassing. But you shouldn’t be embarrassed about what is happening to you because it can happen to many women at various times in their lives. It doesn’t matter whether you are young or old, you could potentially experience some form of hair loss.

For the large majority of women who suffer from hair loss, provided that they get the right treatment, their hair returns almost as it normally was. In order to ensure that you are getting the right treatment for your hair loss, you will need to speak to your doctor. They may have had experience in this field before or alternatively they will refer you to a specialist at the hospital who will be able to treat it. This is a step in the right direction and hopefully it will lead you to be more open about the hair loss that you are suffering with and discuss it with your friends and family.

With many women suffering from hair loss it is receiving more and more coverage in the media. This might be because women are far less worried about talking about their hair loss than they were ever before and it is something that women should be more educated about so that if it ever happen to them they know what to do.

There are many female celebrities who have lost their hair for a variety of reasons over the years and none more so than in the last few months. Some female celebrities have lost their hair as a result of stress and worry from going through a divorce, whereas others have lost their hair as a result of cancer treatment.

Whatever reason you have lost your hair for, you don’t need to be embarrassed or ashamed about what is happening to you. Many women are going through exactly what you are and your doctor and family can provide support whilst you are coming to terms with what has happened. You will also receive medication for your hair loss and this should hopefully bring your hair back. You don’t need to stop doing what you normally do if you don’t want to.
