There’s nothing we love more than getting our hands on some hair loss faces. We can assure you that there are plenty of facts around the area of hair loss and baldness.
The human condition leads a lot of us to believe that certain things aren’t commonplace or that they only happen to us. So, we’ve compiled a number of different statistics in this blog to show you some of the reality around hair loss. Take a look:
Hair Loss Facts
Did you know that around 40% of men have some sort of visible hair loss by the time they are 35 years of age and 70% have hair loss by the time they reach 60. Hair loss also impacts women and around half of all ladies will suffer from hair loss at one time or another in their lives.
British men are the most likely in Europe to worry about losing their hair and even though this is a fact, they are also the least likely to do anything about their hair loss.
So, what determines hair loss? Well, generally hair loss is considered to be in the range of 100 hairs a day. The average head of hair is comprised of around 100,000 follicles.
Three quarters of British people believe that hair loss cannot be prevented. Its true that most people think once it begins there is nothing that can be done about it. While almost 9/10 don’t realise that there are a number of different medical treatments approved to deal with hair loss.
