Celebrities and Hair Loss

Even the Hollywood Elite can suffer from thinning hair.

At RHRLI, we know that hair loss affects people from all walks of life. We see people from all age groups and all types of ethnic backgrounds. Hair loss and thinning hair don’t discriminate against anyone, but sometimes it seems like it skips over the beautiful people of Hollywood and other celebrity playgrounds around the world.
