New Survey Commissioned by Viviscal Reveals Just How Important Our Hair is to our Self Confidence
- Survey reveals 91% of Irish women spend up to €100 each month on their locks
- Irish males not far behind – 72% spend up to €1200 each year on their hair
- 47% of women admit that hair is a big part of their self confidence
- 58% of women use hair straighteners
- 67% of women dye their hair
- 47% of Irish people (incorrectly) think thinning hair is down to genetics and ageing
A new survey shows just how truly obsessed this country has become when it comes to hair. The survey commissioned by leading Irish owned hair supplement Viviscal and carried out by iReach in March 2012 reveals that the country’s recession has not made any difference to the way people are still spending vast amounts of money on their hair. A staggering 83% of all women and men are still going to great lengths for their hair – in fact spending up to €1,200 euros each year on different products, treatments and styling.
The survey reveals some interesting insights; that although we are still splurging on our hair, it’s less to do with vanity and more for self confidence, particularly amongst women. The state of a woman’s hair is almost twice as likely to affect her state of mind compared to Irish males with 47% of women revealing that bad hair can rock their self confidence as opposed to 29% of men.
Self confidence is the key to feeling and looking good and for many of us our hair plays an enormous part according to expert Trichologist, Deborah Whelan who explains:
“Through twenty years as a registered trichologist I know that feeling good about hair can largely determine a woman’s mood for the entire day and affect the decisions she will make. Many women who experience hair problems such as thinning hair and hair loss avoid mirrors, friends, shops, bars/restaurants as they are brightly lit and show up their hair. I frequently meet women with thinning hair who think about their hair every hour of the day and have some night cried themselves to sleep with worry.”
Thinning hair is something 50% of men and 22% of women in Ireland suffer from yet still remains a taboo topic and there is still a huge amount of misinformation and misunderstanding about its causes,
“While hair thinning and hair loss is commonly linked to a heredity predisposition, the fact is that poor nutrition, hormonal changes resulting from pregnancy, stress and illness can also play a very significant part and it is therefore very surprising to see that 47% of people do not realise this, and the fact that there are treatments and help for this distressing condition.”
