More women going grey in their twenties
For a woman, it’s one of the most defining moments of getting older – that day when you peer into the mirror and spot your very first silver strand of hair.
In the past, this grey day may have arrived in their late 30s or early 40s. But the alarming news for women today is that we are losing our natural colouring much earlier.
In fact, according to a new study, almost a third of British women under the age of 30 have already started to go grey, and two-thirds of them blame it on stress.
Just 20 years ago, the proportion of women who spotted their first grey hair before the age of 30 was just 18 percent.
John Frieda, the haircare brand that carried out the research, thinks it’s so significant it has come up with a name for this new consumer demographic – Ghosts – Grey Haired Over Stressed Twenty Somethings.
People's reaction to hair loss is a very personal issue - different people react differently. Some people become very distressed as they believe it makes them look older and less attractive, affecting their body image and self-esteem. Others are not as concerned. However, treatments are available for many of the different types of hair loss.
