Young Adults of Generation Z Start Losing Hair Earlier Than Ever

Chronic stress, lack of sleep and emotional burnout increasingly drive early hair loss among young people. Doctors say noticeable hair thinning once appeared mostly after the age of 35 or 40, but many patients now begin showing the first signs much earlier — often between the ages of 18 and 25. "The hair follicle is a small but highly complex structure within the body. Stress, chronic illnesses, harmful habits and other negative factors can trigger a genetically predisposed process much earlier than it would begin naturally,” surgeon Vladimir Orlovsky explained.
