According to the report, other than gray hair, men worried for loss or thinning of hair and having unwanted hair in the nose and ears.

Weight-issues and yellowing of teeth appeared at fourth and fifth positions that left men anxious and tensed.

Vivienne Rudd, Mintel's head of beauty research, said, "Although gray hair is traditionally seen as a mark of distinction in men, the reality is many men are unhappy with their new-found gravitas.”
