Hair loss comes top of UAE women’s beauty worries

A new survey has revealed that an astonishing 67 per cent of women in the UAE are currently experiencing some form of hair loss.

This surprising finding comes from a small survey of just one hundred Dubai and Abu Dhabi-based women between the ages of 25 and 60. The women surveyed were both Emirate and ex-pat.

Hair loss was easily the number one beauty problem for the women surveyed. Other major concerns included weight gain (45 per cent of those surveyed), dark circles (31 per cent), eye wrinkles (28 per cent) and ageing generally (26 percent).

Mike Ryan, Consultant Trichologist, Hair SPA Dubai, has argued nutrition is an essential factor. "The hair is a great barometer and indicator of general health,” he said.

“Hair loss is a much more widespread problem for women of all ages than anyone realises and there are several factors that can cause it. But nutrition is of vital importance. Hair cells are among the fastest growing in the body, so they need good nutrition," Ryan added
