The prefectural character can be seen in various points such as diet, personality, and hobbies and tastes, but “awareness of thinning hair” was also characteristic of each prefecture. What is the prefectural character of thinning hair found in a national survey of a major hair growth agent manufacturer?
On June 22, a surprising survey result that the “borderline of thinning hair” differs depending on the prefecture was reported by Anfer, who handles the hair growth agent “Scalp D series”.
The survey targeted 100 people in each prefecture in their 20s and 60s, for a total of 4700 people. He presented an illustration of a man whose forehead size (from above the eyebrows to the hairline) was 4 to 8 cm, and asked, “How many centimeters do you have the impression of thinning hair?”
As a result, the most frequently answered “the size of the outskirts that I think is thin hair” is 7 cm or more, and the average value of the boundary line of all the answers is 6.19 cm. It was found that thinning hair is recognized when the distance from the eyebrows to the hairline is 6 to 7 cm or more.
On top of that, Unfer counts the people who set the boundary line as narrow as 4 to 5 cm. The “prefecture rankings that are strict against thinning hair” were created in descending order of the number of people. As a result, Fukuoka was the most severe with thinning hair, followed by Ibaraki, Kagawa, and Nagasaki. By the way, Tokyo was 8th and Osaka was 24th.
How do the parties take this result?
“I was fluffy when I was in Fukuoka.”
Looking back on this, the comedy combination by Kingu from Fukuoka prefecture, which is the top rankingEiji Kotogeis.
“That’s why even if you suddenly say,’Fukuoka Prefecture is the toughest for thinning hair,’ it doesn’t come to mind. unknown”
Perhaps because of his spirit from Fukuoka prefecture, he was paying close attention to his thinning hair.
“At the age of 30, 40% of my head was bald, and even if I applied a hair-growth agent every night, it became even thinner. But if I stopped blaming thinning hair for things that didn’t go well and made a skinhead at the age of 36, I was able to win the King of Conte. Isn’t it? “(Kotoge)
Shinya Kobayashi, a sports writer from Niigata prefecture who is 37th in the ranking and has a book on “The Secret of Katsura,” recalls, “It is true that the people around me were tolerant of thinning hair.”
“Since my dad was bald and my grandfather was a skinhead, I had a fear from an early age that I would definitely be like that. Compared to myself, I think the people around me accepted it without much concern. increase”
However, I disagree with the fact that “7 cm above the eyebrows” is the borderline for thinning hair.
“There will be types of thinning hair. I’ve thinned from the top of my head, so I don’t feel it makes sense to use the hairline as a borderline. Rather, the type that thins from the hairline doesn’t look good, so I was jealous. The prefectural character is likely to change depending on whether it is the hairline or the top of the head. “(Mr. Kobayashi)
Kotoge says he doesn’t care about “boundaries” in the first place.
“I have no hair to lose as a skinhead, so there’s no border in the first place. Humans, baldness is the game, and I can expose everything from there. I shave my scalp every morning as if I were shaving with a hair clipper. I’m shaving. This is etiquette. “
The boundary between thinning hair and not may be decided by oneself.
