Revivogen has launched a social media campaign to raise awareness on the topic of hair loss, which affects 80 million American men and women.

For every person that creates a short video sharing their experience with hair loss, Revivogen will extend a 50 percent discount on their all-natural hair loss solution.

Video links will be posted to Revivogen’s Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/Revivogen) in order to build a community that can share personal stories and engage in a dialogue about the prevention and treatment of hair loss. The video with the most views on YouTube will receive a one-year supply of Revivogen products. The campaign concludes on December 1, 2011.

"For many men and women, the first signs of thinning hair can be traumatic and can lower confidence and self-esteem," says Alex A. Khadavi, MD. "The goal of our campaign is to spread the word that hair loss, embarrassing as it may be to some, should not cause shame."

To learn more about the Revivogen hair loss awareness campaign, visit www.Facebook.com/Revivogen. To take part in this campaign, participants can upload a YouTube video sharing their hair loss experience and post to Revivogen's Facebook wall. All participants whose videos are approved will receive a unique single use coupon code which will entitle them to 50 percent off their next retail order of Revivogen. Participants must be 18 years of age or older.

He's not the king of England yet, but Prince William might want to start wearing a crown anyway – to cover up his bald spot.

The handsome royal's ever-expanding bald spot was on display as he saluted sailors recently at a naval base in his naval uniform.

The 28-year-old prince's bald spot was first visible seven years ago when he turned 21, and his hair has continued to thin, the Daily Mail reports.

William takes after his father, Prince Charles, and uncle, Prince Edward, where hair is concerned, rather than mother Princess Diana – even though it's believed that male patterned baldness is inherited from the mom's side of the family.

"It's genetically inherited, but it can come from both sides of the family," said dermatologist Dr. Doris Day of Lenox Hill Hospital. "Even if no one in the family has thinning hair, it can be in the genes and still just show up."

There is good news and bad news for Prince William, Day said.

The bad news: the younger baldness begins, the more hair you'll lose. And the good news: "We have made great advancements in hair transplant technology, which is an option for all men," Day said. "And medications like Minoxidil and Propecia can also be effective for hair loss."

Hair combs that stimulate hair growth are available, too, and the topical medication, Rogaine, works 50 to 60% of the time, said Dr. Susan Weinkle, president-elect of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. "But Rogaine has to be used every single day," she adds. "So if the prince is flying a helicopter and forgets for a day, that's a problem."
