Over the years, celebrity women have come forward to not only help normalize this experience, but also to share their solutions for hair loss.
We take a look at not just the hair loss journey, but the journey to regrowth and hair health.

Having tried everything she could get her hands on, including Rogaine, steroid injections and PRP therapy, Lake finally came forward, though not without some fear. “I was afraid of coming out,” Lake explains. “Because no woman as far as I knew had ever gone public about female baldness.”

Kidman’s struggle with hair thinning and keeping her hair healthy has its roots back in her early career, when hair straightening was the norm. “Do I wish that I hadn’t screwed up my hair by straightening it all the time? Sure,” Kidman tells The Sunday Morning Herald.
