- mc32 4y agoHuh? Would be interesting if you have a reference for that as it's not something I had heard of.
- simmerup 4y agoApologies for the daily mail, there's also been other studies on university students. It seems to be a common trend that Asian countries are getting western afflictions along with westernization. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/peoplesdaily/article-2987988/Chinese-men-getting-balder-Report-says-combined-bald-patches-three-times-size-London.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/peoplesdaily/article-298798...
- vxNsr 4y agoSeems to make sense to me, hair is just dead skin and skin benefits from access to sunlight… so would stand to reason hair would also degrade faster if it loses access to sunlight.
- AussieWog93 4y agoJust FWIW, hair isn't dead skin but a separate substance (mostly keratin and oil, AFAIK)
- kgc 4y agoAlso never heard of this. Source?
