SAD: Actor Warren Masemola Is Suffering From Alopecia That Causes Hair Loss

Warren Masemola is an award winning South African actor . The 37 year old is using his baldness condition as his unique selling point in the entertainment industry.

Warren’s baldness is not a disease but it’s a condition called Alopecia Areata. While many use their dreadlocks, braids or blonde hair to get recognition, Warren is using his baldness.

Alopecia is the sudden loss of hair that starts with one or more circular bald patches that may overlap. This occurs when the immune system attacks hair follicles and may be brought on by severe stress.
