According to The Impact of Thinning Hair, a new survey of 1000 consumers, women are dramatically changing their lifestyle due to thin or thinning hair. Other statistics culled from The Impact of Thinning Hair, sponsored by Peter Lamas Products, a natural personal care company, include:

• 34% of women are starting to notice thinning or wish their hair could be fuller or thicker.

• Results also show that this issue plays a major role in the lifestyle choices women make; with an astounding 54% of women who said that thinning hair has lead them to: wash their hair less frequently; wear hats;wear their hair in a ponytail or bun; or use several products daily to give the appearance of fuller, thicker hair

• When it comes to seeking professional advice, The Impact of Thinning Hair findings show that almost twice as many women said they would consult their hairstylist versus a doctor to determine the best way to address their thinning hair.

• 43% of women currently using mainstream or chemical-based products said they would be somewhat to extremely interested in trying a natural alternative.

“The results of this survey clearly show that not only does thinning hair have a profound impact on the daily lives of women; but these women are looking to their stylists for advice and product alternatives,” says Peter Lamas, stylist and founder of Peter Lamas Products. “Thinning hair can cause some women to feel self conscious, leading them to hide behind hats or wear their hair in ponytails,” Lamas explains. “But the irony is, repeatedly pulling hair back causes the hair shaft to weaken, causing even more damage. It’s a vicious cycle.”
