One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to promote @AlopeciaUK & spread the word that hair loss can be very challenging, emotionally and physically, and ‘isn’t just hair’. #AlopeciaUK

‘Just Hair’

‘Just hair’ comes from the fact that hair loss can be often overlooked/dismissed by both medical professional and general public as ‘cosmetic’ or ‘just hair’ when anyone who has experienced alopecia knows that it’s far more than that. It’s not ‘just hair loss’ – it’s how it makes us feel. It’s the impact it has on our relationships with others in work and school. It’s the fear of reactions of others. It’s the impact it has on our self-esteem/confidence. In today’s brief we want to communicate how it’s much more than just hair. It’s a sensitive topic so entries should reflect that and we look forward to seeing what the OMBLES come up with!
