Did you know that nearly 40% of women experience visible hair loss by age 50 in the United States? According to studies by the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), this includes both female pattern hair loss and general thinning, affecting millions of women nationwide.¹  

The Cleveland Clinic also reports alopecia areata affecting nearly 7 million people in the United States, including men, women, and children.² 

Remember - hair loss is common! And through honest storytelling, we can create space for empathy, education, and healing through shared experiences. 

That’s why, in honor of Hair Loss Awareness Month, we're spotlighting the powerful voices behind our national casting call, everyday people living with hair loss who courageously shared their stories with us to uplift others. Storytime...
