How to cope with hair loss

Nearly 14 years ago Dr Nigel Hunt's best friend was killed in a car crash. He was so traumatised that his hair began to fall out. This caused real problems in his relationship with his partner, who found it impossible to come to terms with his hair loss.ÌýIn fact, she couldn't even look at him.

Over a period of about 5 months Nigel lost the hair on his head (including his eyebrows and eyelashes) and on the rest of his body,Ìýa condition called Alopecia Universalis. He has now written a book on the subject.Ìý

Martha talks to Dr Nigel Hunt and to Becky Parker about how they cope with alopecia.
