    About Us

    NAAF is the voice of the alopecia areata community, serving the nearly 7million Americans affected by this autoimmune disease, which causes unpredictable, often sudden and severe hair loss. Frequently dismissed as a cosmetic condition, alopecia can be a deeply traumatic experience, resulting in emotional and economic pain and social isolation. It is not just hair.

    A catalyst for driving research, support, and awareness, NAAF empowers our community with more choices to embrace or live free of alopecia areata. We connect the patient, medical and scientific community to drive research and treatment development, raise awareness to reduce stigma, and provide support to improve lives.
