Younger Indian Men Face Growing Hair Health Concerns
A study looked at the hair health of more than half a million Indian men.
It found that many men with hair loss were quite young.
The median age of the men facing hair loss was 29.
Most people in the study were under 35.
Many men waited until their hair loss had progressed before asking for help.
Dandruff, metabolism-related problems and stress were common concerns.
Poor sleep and gut issues were also linked with hair health in the study.
The most common concerns differed between Indian states.
Traya Health’s study assessed more than half a million men and found a median hair-loss age of 29.
Men under 35 made up 76.4% of those assessed, with ages 26-30 representing the largest group at 27.2%.
Only 17.4% sought help at the earliest hair-loss stage, while the study estimated a 10.7-year gap between the earliest and most advanced stages.
Dandruff, metabolism-related issues and stress were the most commonly reported health concerns among participants.
Maharashtra had the highest rate of advanced hair loss, Tamil Nadu the highest stress and poor-sleep levels, and West Bengal the highest dandruff rate.

Co-founder of Traya Health
“More than half the men in this study are already significantly progressed by the time they seek help. Less than 1 in 5 come in early enough to have the most options available to them. We have believed for years that Indian men are not acting early enough”
