5 companies dedicated to helping you with hair loss

WATCH: Hair loss doesn't just affect men. These women use toppers to find their confidence again

August is National Hair Loss Awareness Month, and while many of us have become enlightened on the topic throughout the past several weeks, there are several solution-based companies that deserve to be given the spotlight for their never-ending efforts as well.

People shed from 50 to 100 single hairs per day, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Hair shedding is part of a natural balance — some hairs fall out while others grow in.

When the balance is interrupted — when hair falls out and less hair grows in — hair loss happens.

With this ongoing issue, also medically known as alopecia, many companies have found ways to help those who are experiencing hair loss.

There are also a variety of trusted companies, such as Nutrafol, that create supplements and other products specifically formulated to treat hair follicles from the inside out.

For years, Philip Kingsley Trichological Clinics has continued to receive rave reviews because many people appreciate that these clinics allow you to understand how your hair type works and treat it accordingly.

On your first visit, there is usually about an hour-long consultation that taps into everything from your lifestyle to your hair issues. From there, a trichologist-approved treatment is done and usually, a prescription of products is recommended.

If you can't make it to the clinic, there are also a wide array of products on Philip Kingsley's website that you can try based on your needs.
