2. Hair contains information about everything that has ever been in your bloodstream: medicine, drugs, alcohol, vitamins and minerals. It is one of the most commonly used types of forensic evidence.


3. Hair is made up mostly of keratin, the same protein animals’ horns, hooves, claws, feathers, and beaks are made of.

5. Aside from bone marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the body

6. All hair is dead, with the exception of the hair that’s still inside the epidermis of your scalp.

In America today, it seems that all too often a person’s “worth” is based on their looks. You need to have the perfect body, clothes, face and hair to be considered desirable and likable. This can be a problem for many who may not be able to control their physical appearance. For example, baldness in today’s society in generally looked upon as shameful or unappealing. However, there are those that can’t control this factor. This is not about the general hair loss that comes with age. This is about the autoimmune skin disease known as Alopecia Areata.

Alopecia Areata is caused by T-cells attacking the hair follicles causing hair on the scalp to start falling out in patches and sometimes causes hair loss on other areas of the body. Some lose all of the hair on their scalp (Alopecia Totalis) and some experience total body hair loss (Alopecia Universalis). This disease can affect anyone at any age. According to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, NAAF, over 6.6 million people in the United States and 147 million people worldwide have, had or will develop Alopecia Areata at some point in their lives. Hair can fall out and re-grow over a few years or last a lifetime.

Alopecia Areata can be a very emotionally devastating disease for those suffering from it. Many lose their self-confidence or become embarrassed by their hair loss. In an effort to raise awareness and help communities better understand the disease, September has been designated National Alopecia Areata Awareness Month. You can help raise money for research and provide support to those suffering. Professional sports teams and other local companies have hosted events in the past that helped raise awareness and gave donations to the NAAF. Look for Alopecia Awareness Month events this year in your community or host an event yourself.
