Could Unclean Barber Clippers Be Causing Scalp Infections and Hair Loss?

Hair loss in your 20s or early 30s is not always hereditary. While male-pattern baldness is common, itchy scalps, scaling, bumps and bald patches may also point to a scalp infection. Barbing clippers that are not cleaned and disinfected between customers can spread fungal and other skin infections. These infections may affect the scalp and, in some cases, lead to patchy hair loss. Stress, hormonal changes, medical conditions and some medications can also contribute to hair loss. If you have sudden bald patches, scalp pain or persistent itching, see a healthcare professional instead of relying only on hair-growth products or changing salons. Have you experienced scalp irritation or unusual hair loss after visiting a barbing salon? Do Nigerian barbers take clipper hygiene seriously enough?
