Édouard Philippe Reflects on Hair Regrowth After Alopecia Struggle

The former French Prime Minister describes the emotional and physical impact of his condition and the unexpected return of his hair in recent months.

Édouard Philippe, former French Prime Minister, shared his experience with alopecia, a condition that caused the loss of his hair, beard, and eyebrows.
He revealed that his hair began to regrow in June 2024 without any medical treatment, describing the experience as reminiscent of puberty.
Philippe highlighted the visible impact of alopecia on his appearance and self-perception, calling the condition 'everything but neutral.'
Medical experts explain that hair regrowth in cases of inflammatory alopecia is not uncommon if the hair follicles remain intact.
The politician humorously referred to his transformation as 'returning from among the bald,' sparking public and media interest in his journey.
