‘Hair is like rain’. Strange it may seem, but this line always crosses my mind as I write articles about hair loss and the nature of its causes. Yes, few might agree with me; however, I find this certain analogy true no matter how silly it may sound.Rain follows a certain cycle which when disrupted my cause detrimental circumstances like sudden or unexpected climate change.
