Complete Alopecia Hair Loss: Symptoms, Remedies, and More

All of us experience some degree of hair loss. To be precise, we lose around 100 strands in a day from all over the body. But hair loss is different if you're suffering from a hair loss condition. Today, we will talk about complete alopecia, a condition that affects over 200,000 Americans every year.

A lot of individuals are not familiar with complete alopecia and that’s why Lordhair - a global hair system brand - decided to share this quick knowledge resource on complete alopecia including symptoms, causes, and remedies.

Now, let’s learn about the major symptom of complete alopecia.
