Hair Thinning in Ireland: What Women Are Really Experiencing (and How to Find Real Solutions)

For many women, hair is more than just style; it’s tied to confidence, identity, and self-expression. That’s why when thinning or hair loss happens, it doesn’t just affect appearance, it affects self-esteem.

In honour of Hair Loss Awareness Month, Peter Mark, Ireland’s largest hairdressing group, surveyed over 1,400 women nationwide to uncover the truth about hair health. The findings reveal just how widespread concerns about hair thinning in Ireland really are, and why professional support is more important now than ever.

The survey found that:

Clearly, female hair loss is no longer a silent issue, it’s something many women are experiencing right now.

When confidence takes a hit, many women adjust their everyday routines. 30% of women now use extra styling products for volume, while 19% of others avoid certain hairstyles or switch up their look completely to disguise thinning.

But while these tricks offer short-term fixes, they don’t tackle the root causes. That’s where expert support and the best treatments for thinning hair come in.

One of the most powerful insights from the research is that women are more likely to turn to their hair stylist than a GP or pharmacist for advice on hair loss.

This shows that stylists aren’t just about cuts and colours, they’re trusted advisors, confidants, and a key source of both styling solutions and emotional support.
