Hair loss is a common concern that affects people of all ages, and it's not just a cosmetic issue. From celebrities to the average Joe and Jane, the struggle to maintain a full head of hair is universal.

CGTN spoke with Professor Liu Ling from Xijing Hospital at Air Force Medical University about the science and causes of hair loss.

Liu shared an easy way to estimate hair loss when showering and explained which groups of people tend to lose more hair. She also revealed that hair loss among Gen Zers is real as more middle and high school students seek her advice.

Liu also shared her observation into the future of hair loss research, saying that Chinese researchers are involved in the global efforts to remedy hair loss.

(Liu worked at Xijing Hospital at the time of the interview. She has since moved to Tangdu Hospital under the same university. Gao Yuxin contributed to the story.)
