Turns out, New York ranks second in the entire country for concern about hair loss, suggesting the fast-paced, high-stress lifestyle may be showing up in the mirror for many residents.

It's believed that growing awareness, social media pressure, and a strong focus on appearance may be pushing younger men to act earlier than previous generations.
