Why do we lose hair? Even if you started losing your hair at a young age, the cause is not always genetics. Stress, seasonal shedding, deficiencies, hormonal or age-related changes, chronic scalp tension, or weakened hair follicles — and that is only the beginning of the list of factors. At first, hair starts growing more slowly, becomes thinner, and some follicles gradually switch into an inactive state. If growth is absent for a long time, some follicles may gradually atrophy.
Barrister and Mann. The story of a barrister and a man

However, few people know that the company’s founder was supposed to become a lawyer. If everything had gone as he planned in his youth, the world would never have been introduced to soaps that became the benchmark for artisan shaving products.
