Some types of hair loss are permanent, like male pattern baldness. Significant balding affects about one in five men in their 20s, growing to nearly 50% of men in their 40s. Some medicines can stop or slow hair loss, and sometimes even create new hair growth. Or like Chris you could try a hair piece.
Other types of hair loss are temporary and can be caused by illness, stress, weight loss, cancer treatment or iron deficiency. If you have sudden hair loss or you’re worried about your hair, see your GP.
