Man Matters Index Shows Early Hair Loss Among Indian Men Under 35
The Man Matters Hairfall Index 2026, based on over 7 lakh consultations, reveals that Indian men are experiencing hair loss about a decade earlier than traditionally believed. Nearly 87% of consultations come from men under 35, with the largest group aged 20 to 24. Many seek help only after significant hair thinning or recession. Experts attribute early hair loss to genetics, stress, diet, and lifestyle factors. Separate data from Traya Health corroborates these findings, highlighting the importance of understanding underlying causes for effective treatment.
