The trichologist assessed the danger of losing hair when trying on a hat
A girl from Moscow complained of hair loss after trying on a hat ordered on the marketplace. Dermatologist and trichologist Irina Kotova noted on Friday, February 6, that acute hair loss requires a factor that kills growing cells.
