Wigs significantly improve the well-being of people with severe hair loss.

This study found that the Spanish version of the hair-specific Skindex-29 questionnaire effectively detected changes in health-related quality of life among women with female-pattern hair loss, and the scores were significantly correlated with the SF-12 survey results after treatment with a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor.

This study observed that a combination of two mineral and nutritional supplement products increased anagen-phase hair and reduced hair loss in women with androgenetic alopecia and acute or chronic telogen effluvium after four months.

This study found that patients with androgenetic alopecia reported more impact on their quality of life in terms of emotions, functioning, and symptoms than those with alopecia areata.

This review found that despite varied levels of stigmatization reported in studies, hair loss generally leads to stigmatization and a reduced quality of life, but specific research on this stigma is limited.
