HairLoss.com, the largest social network dedicated to providing unbiased consumer information about alopecia, hair loss conditions and hair loss solutions, has released the third animated video in their Hair is Important series. The sixty-second video offers a message of hope to women who live with alopecia, gently urging them to accept their natural and true beauty.

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL, June 3, 2010 — HairLoss.com, the most comprehensive online resource for unbiased consumer information and education concerning alopecia, hair loss solutions and hair loss conditions, has released the third of a series of minute-long animated public awareness announcements entitled “True Beauty”.?

According to Michael Garcia, spokesperson for HairLoss.com, this third video release “respectfully reminds those who suffer from alopecia to be kind to themselves, and to always keep in mind the truth that there’s more to being attractive than one’s hair.”?

Produced by Bright Bulb Solutions, a Los Angeles-based Internet marketing firm, the animated presentation features a woman who suffers from alopecia. She is depicted as a model employee, a hospital volunteer as well as an artist.  The narration, delivered by actor Wesley Horton, appeals directly to individuals with alopecia:?

“True beauty isn't defined by TV or bestowed at a pageant. Beauty is a combination of our many individual qualities. Beauty is personality and character, health and style, integrity and sensitivity, compassion and creativity. We all want to be beautiful and while hair is important to us, it's vital to embrace our many other qualities that make us attractive.  So if you're one of the 2% of the population living with alopecia remember that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and the beholder that matters most is you. Celebrate your life and have the courage to see yourself today as you are every day ... truly beautiful.”

According to Garcia, the concept of the video was chiefly motivated by “a number of communications received from women around the world expressing frustration about their alopecia condition and wanting help. Many of these women conveyed that they felt alopecia had taken away their beauty and that they even felt ‘unattractive and ugly.’”?

“In effort to inspire the general public to appreciate the sensitive nature of hair loss for those who suffer from it,” explains Garcia, “we have produced previous videos raising public awareness about the importance of hair in our lives. At the same time, we also very much want those suffering from hair loss conditions like alopecia to be reminded that while hair is important, it certainly isn’t everything.”?

According to the National Alopecia Foundation, alopecia is an autoimmune skin disease which results in the loss of hair both on the scalp and anywhere on the body, deeply effecting almost 5 million people in the United States alone.?
