Hair loss is constantly hitting the London headlines, as an increasing number of celebrities feel brave enough to speak out about their own personal battles on this front. The most recent person who has been in the news is the controversial politician Nadine Dorries, 56, who appeared on ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here’.
Dorries talked about her battle with hair loss when she appeared on ITV's 'Daybreak' this month, revealing that she first discovered the problem when she was filming a TV interview a few weeks ago, as she spotted a camera showing the back of her head and noticed a bald patch. The outspoken Conservative MP said she said she was constantly in tears after she discovered her hair was falling out, calling it a “confidence stealer” and saying she felt it was affecting her femininity. She was not sure of the cause but thought that stress could be a factor. Dorries said she was having treatment to try to address her hair loss and would be receiving injections.
When celebrities like Dorries speak out about their own battles with hair loss, they reduce the stigma attached to this and also provide hope to millions of other people with the problem, as they let people know through the media that there is treatment available.

Other Celebrities Who Have Spoken Out About Hair Loss
Nadine Dorries is following in the footsteps of other celebrities who have spoken out about their hair loss and how traumatic they found it. Their frank comments have helped to make other people going through the same thing realise that they are not alone and decide to deal with their own condition.
Actress Anna Kendrick, 27, who rose to fame in the smash hit 'Twilight' films, admitted last year in a TV interview that the pressure of sudden stardom had resulted in her finding that her hair was falling out. She said: “My body was telling me that things were getting crazy”. Anna's hair grew back naturally but, if you need expert advice to tackle your hair loss, the London Centre of Trichology can help.
TV presenter Esther Rantzen, who still looks glamorous at 72, has told in the media how she has always had thin hair and has regularly worn wigs on TV and at red-carpet events over the years, but has now decided to ditch the wigs, commenting: “My hair may be flat, fine and limp but it is still my own.”
In some cases, celebrities think that their hair loss could be the result of extreme hair treatments such as dramatic dyeing or use of hair extensions. 'Mad Men' actress January Jones, best-known as 1960s blonde bombshell Betty Draper, admitted earlier this year in an interview with a fashion magazine that she had been losing large clumps of hair. She blamed extreme hair dyes, after dyeing her hair different colours for a succession of roles.
Singer Lady GaGa, who has dyed her naturally dark hair blonde for years, has also admitted in recent interviews that she has had problems with her bleached hair falling out and is reportedly using a treatment. In the past, Jennifer Aniston, whose hairstyle became one of the most famous in the world through her role as Rachel in hit comedy series 'Friends', also said her 'real hair was getting thinned out' by extensions, so she decided to go for a simpler style.
Although there may be more stigma attached to hair loss in women, men can also find it hard to cope with this. There are some male celebrities who have spoken out about their problems in this area, such as footballer Wayne Rooney, who has just undergone a nine-hour operation to top up his hair transplant from 2011. After his first transplant, Rooney said on Twitter: “I was going bald at 25, why not?” Actor James Nesbitt and Duncan Bannatyne of 'Dragons' Den' fame have also confirmed undergoing hair transplants.
