The emotional toll of hair loss cannot be overstated. For many, it's more than a cosmetic concern; it's a journey that affects mental health, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. According to MONPURE’s research, a staggering 88% of women experiencing hair loss are grappling with its negative impact on their daily lives.
This negative influence often manifests as a knock to self-esteem, with 75% reporting a decline in their self-confidence due to hair problems. Hair holds immense importance as a reflection of identity. A striking 87% of individuals recognise the significance of their hair in defining who they are. Throughout history, hair has been a way for women to communicate their cultural belonging and personal expression. Today, it continues to play a pivotal role in conveying messages about individuality and belonging.
Despite the widespread emotional impact of hair loss, only 37% of those affected openly discuss it with family and friends.
This discrepancy may be attributed to the pervasive social stigma attached to female hair loss – a perception held by 81% of women.
The silence surrounding this topic emphasises the need for open conversations, empathy, and support.
