Abstract:

Genetic predisposition, lifestyle choices, environmental influences, and consumer preferences for different hair care products and treatments all have an impact on hair health. This study examines the effects of lifestyle decisions and genetics on hair health in addition to assessing the efficacy of contemporary hair treatments and customer behavior. To get a variety of perspectives, a survey with 170 respondents and 30 in-person interviews were done.
41.2% of individuals had a family history of hair-related problems, according to the results, with 20.6% reporting hereditary hair thinning and 16.5% experiencing early greying. Stress, poor diet, and dehydration were identified as major lifestyle factors that significantly contributed to hair loss. Many respondents said they occasionally used supplements such as omega-3, iron, and biotin. Furthermore, 91.2% of participants said that hard water and pollution were bad for hair health, but there aren't many practical ways to deal with these issues.
There was a discrepancy between consumer awareness and actual conduct, as evidenced by the fact that although 61.2 percent of consumers preferred natural and herbal hair care products, 46.5% continued to use chemical treatments. While cost and accessibility were major obstacles for many, innovative treatments like laser therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) were preferred.
