“…Demographic and clinical characteristics were collected. Grade of alopecia severity was classified according to clinical diagnostic criteria specific for the three alopecia types . We used the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) to assess patients’ HrQoL; the Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ), the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEI‐Que‐SF) and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI_Y) to assess personality traits and the Social Phobia (SPS) and Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS) to asses psychosocial anxiety.…”

Descriptive statistics were computed on the personality traits scores, and separate ANOVAs were performed to evaluate group differences on personality dimensions with Gender and Group (3 Levels: AA, AGA, TE) as independent variables and Age as covariate.…”

Background Illness impact on HrQoL has been widely studied in hair loss‐affected patients, yet no study has addressed whether individual differences modulate HrQoL in patients with alopecia areata (AA), androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and telogen effluvium (TE). Objective To identify the personality dimensions most predictive of the impact of disease on HrQoL. Method A single‐site cross‐sectional study was carried out in the Dermatology Unit of Sant'Orsola‐Malpighi Hospital, Bologna between September 2016 and September 2017. The study included 143 patients (105 females, ages 18–60 years) diagnosed with AA (n = 27), AGA (n = 80) and TE (n = 36). Illness severity, alopecia type, age, gender, education and civil status were documented. Health‐related quality of life (HrQoL), personality traits, trait anxiety, emotional intelligence, social anxiety and social phobia were also measured. Results AA, AGA and TE groups differed significantly for illness severity with most severe patients falling in AA type. For HrQoL, Gender × Group interaction resulted significant with AGA females reporting a higher impact of hair loss on quality of life than males, while TE males were more impacted by hair loss than AA and AGA males. Lower scores were obtained by AGA females than males on emotional intelligence while no significant differences were evidenced on other groups. A significant Gender × Group interaction was also found for trait anxiety, social phobia and social anxiety: consistently, AGA females reported higher scores than AGA males in all three measures. Finally, discriminant analysis evidenced that anxiety‐related traits can contribute to reliably predict hair loss impact on HrQoL, regardless of illness severity and alopecia type. Conclusions We recommend that gender and individual differences in anxiety‐related dimensions be considered as key factors in gaining a deeper understanding of hair loss impact on quality of life as well as in reducing the burden of illness in alopecia‐affected patients.

“…The third study presented in this section directly and objectively examines the impact of emotional intelligence on health in a clinical sample [62]. This study was conducted in the Department of Dermatology and Skin Science at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and examined the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and alopecia areata (AA), which is an autoimmune disease characterised by hair loss.…”

“…Quality of life is related to emotional wellbeing. In a Canadian study of 35 androgenetic alopecia patients and 42 alopecia areata patients, both groups scored similarly on an emotions assessment, indicating that these patients were less motivated to pursue personal interests and experienced difficulty in coping with stress compared to the controls (Monselise et al 2013). …”

Hair is venerated, cherished, and desired in societies throughout the world. Both women and men express their individual identities through their hairstyles. Healthy hair contributes to successful social assimilation, employment, and overall quality of life. Therefore, hair loss can have detrimental effects on almost every aspect of a person’s life. In this review, we discuss the myriad of options that aid in concealing and camouflaging hair loss to facilitate a healthier-appearing scalp. Camouflage options for patients who suffer from hair loss include full or partial wigs, hair extensions, concealing powders and sprays, surgical tattoos, and hair transplants. We describe these modalities in detail and discuss their respective advantages and disadvantages.
