United KingdomTV presenter Melanie Sykes has revealed she is now completely bald due to alopecia, a condition affecting over 100,000 people in Britain. Alopecia can manifest in different ways, including alopecia areata—an autoimmune condition causing patchy or total hair loss—and androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern baldness. Experts warn that certain behaviors, such as wearing tight hairstyles popularized on TikTok, can trigger traction alopecia by damaging hair follicles through constant pulling. Additionally, poor nutrition, especially deficiencies in iron, zinc, and vitamins B2, B12, and folate—often seen in vegan or vegetarian diets—can contribute to hair loss.
