hair loss

Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common type of hair loss in men which usually begins between the ages of 20-25 years, according to NICE.

It is caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors and usually involves hair loss from the front and sides of the scalp before progressing towards the back of the head.

Judah, from Cardiff, said it was when his friends started making comments about his hair loss that his insecurities ramped up and his parents began to worry.

Judah said he told his friends that comments about his hair loss had been affecting him, and that they now respected his boundaries and had been supportive.

He is also making a film which draws on his own experiences which he hopes will help to "destigmatise" hair loss.
