Incidence of Hair Loss Concerns in Women Who Wear the Hijab: An Exploratory Survey

The study surveyed 186 Hijabi women to explore their concerns and practices related to hair loss. Results showed that 65% of respondents worried about alopecia, but only 37.4% noticed it. Common practices included wearing hair in a bun (64.7%) and using materials like cotton, chiffon, and jersey for hijabs. Most women received haircare information from social media (52.7%) and the internet (47.3%). The study highlights the need for dermatologists to provide targeted health education to address hair loss concerns in this population.
