Has there ever been more pressure to have a full and luscious head of hair?

Whether it’s dating app snaps, Instagram selfies, or even that corporate head shot on LinkedIn, maintaining a youthful appearance has become a critical feature of modern life. As more and more people suffer anxiety attacks at the sight of a mobile phone snapping their photo I decided to explore some of the underlying health problems that could contribute to hair losses. 

In the randomised study of over 2,000 women in the UK, more than one in five said they are suffering from hair loss or hair thinning. When you add in the number of women who have suffered from this in the past, the figure rises to almost 30 per cent.

A further 25 per cent who did not have the problem themselves knew friends or family who did.
