The top three states least worried about hair loss

Rank	State	Average Yearly Keyword Searches	Keyword Searches (per 100k per year)
1.	Mississippi	29,695	1,010
2.	Arkansas	35,062	1,143
3.	Montana	13,473	1,189

At the other end of the ranking, Mississippi ranks last with just 1,010 searches per 100,000 population each year. Residents searched for “best vitamins for hair growth” and “hair loss treatment” the most.

Arkansas ranks second with 1,143 annual searches per 100,000.

And Montana is third with annual search volume of 1,189 per 100,000. Similarly to Colorado, the term “hair loss in women” is one of the top five searched in the state.

Dr. Fatih, a spokesperson for Medart Hair, commented on the findings:

“Seeing these regional differences is fascinating. With residents in densely populated states such as New York and California searching up to 109% more than Mississippi residents, there’s a clear divide.

“Many factors can contribute to these regional differences, including demographics, cultural attitudes toward appearance, and access to specialized care. What’s consistent across all regions, however, is that hair loss remains a significant concern for millions of Americans.

“The good news is that early intervention often leads to better outcomes. If you notice your hair becoming noticeably thinner or falling out in large amounts, consulting with a hair restoration specialist can help identify the cause and determine the most effective treatment options.”
