Real life stories
Patricia Buckland, 59
"I remember being out with my mother when I was in my early teens and looking at the back of her hair and was mortified to see she had a bald patch.
Time went on and I eventually married and went on to have a family of my own. In my early fifties, I was distressed to notice that my hair was thinning at the front and that I had the dreaded bald patch - just as my mothers had! This began the bain of my life forever trying to arrange my hair with clips and all sorts to cover the back."
“Doctors were never able to tell me why my hair was thinning. I never felt stressed and I have always eaten well and exercised regularly, so it was really confusing when my hair started thinning at 13 years old. The thinning hair
consisted of large patches on the side and back of my head, so it was extremely noticeable and very upsetting.
“I got ointments from the doctor but nothing seemed to work. Within only three months of taking Viviscal my hair
was growing back, I was so relieved!
“I think it is really important that people talk about thinning hair with friends and family and that advice is made readily available.
“It has made a huge difference to my hair and it will remain a part of my daily routine for the foreseeable future.”
