Hair loss can be a looming concern that affects your psychological, social, and physical well-being. Withdrawing from social participation in real life or online is a significant negative impact of thinning hair, according to NIOXIN Global Research and Yale University psychologist Dr Marianne LaFrance. In fact, a quarter of 4,000 respondents across six markets (27%) stated they would avoid social interactions if they experienced hair thinning.
The psychological impact of hair thinning
Six in 10 respondents admit feeling anxious and self-conscious about hair thinning, 68% of whom were 25 to 34-year-olds. Over half of women respondents (52%) and a third of men (33%) reported being less likely to take a selfie and upload pictures onto social media if they were to experience hair thinning.
Social avoidance is even more prevalent in this digital age where we share our life-moments online for all to see. Coupled with the pressure to appear “insta-ready”, the lack of confidence in their appearance on social media can cause one to shrink away from enjoying life to the fullest. Yale University psychologist, Dr Marianne LaFrance argues: “The NIOXIN Global Research data clearly shows that the experience of hair thinning leads some people to reduce the uploading of photographs to social media sites because they have concerns about their appearance and prefer not to leave a permanent record of how they look.”
