Former Soap Star Finola Hughes Talks About Fighting Hair Loss

Among the one in three American women affected by hair thinning at some point in their lives, 30 million of them will experience hair loss. Even glamorous celebrities have to deal with it: General Hospital star Finola Hughes started losing her hair when she became a mom. Finola, now sporting long, beautiful hair, stopped by PIX Morning News to talk about this personal challenge and how she overcame it.

The causes of hair thinning include genetics, high stress, and bad health and nutrition. When the body stops delivering certain nutrients to the scalp, the hair will grow slower, become thinner, and eventually stop growing at all.

But when Finola went through that herself, she refused to lose hope. She tried out new hairstyles, talked to doctors, and eventually came across the Viviscal products line. Finola regained her full head of hair after she took Viviscal's natural dietary supplements and used its shampoo and conditioner.

Finola, now a Viviscal spokesperson, wants her story to remind women that hair loss isn't uncommon and isn't irreversible, so losing hair doesn't have to mean losing self-worth. You can learn more about Viviscal by visiting its website.
