For many people, their hair is an important part of what makes them feel beautiful. That is why hair loss in every form can often feel like losing one’s identity.
The impact hair loss has on emotional and mental health can often be overlooked and written off as vanity. The implications regarding self-esteem, attractiveness, appeal, and youthfulness often leave people feeling frustrated, upset and even anxious. Because it is a visible condition, they might feel very vulnerable to the public that in turn forces them to rather stay at home and many times leads to depression.
