Research indicates the prevalence of 60.3% hair fall among men aged 18–50 years. As for women, fewer than 45% go through life with a head full of hair, of which 52% experience extreme dissatisfaction with their hair loss. Besides, findings suggest the prevalence of nutritional deficiencies among those plagued by hair fall. Needless to say, it’s a pressing concern among the Indian population – and the world at large.
