What is alopecia?

Alopecia is a disease that causes sudden hair loss in men and women alike.  It is thought to affect around 1.75% of the population and to date, the main causes of it are not known.  However, stress is often related to alopecia and approximately 25% of sufferers have family members who also suffer from it. 

Sufferers’ hair follicles are mistakenly attacked by their immune system causing their hair to stop growing and imminently, causes the hair to fall out.
