Dealing With Hair Loss For Guys
Posted by Keith | Posted in Hair Loss Articles
Young men often find it difficult to deal with premature hair loss and baldness, resulting in low self-esteem. Genetic baldness has no cure unlike hormone related baldness. The best is to deal with the baldness and accept it. Worrying will only create problems in self-confidence, in addition to seriously handicapping both private and public life.
One reason for loss of hair and baldness is genetic androgenic alopecia. Hair is lost in the characteristic pattern beginning above the temples, followed by a receding hairline to form a sort of “M”. At the same time, the hair begins to thin off the crown of the head, leading to partial or complete baldness.
One way to deal with this would be to shave or buzz the remaining hair, to give it a trendy look. Many stars and celebrities buzz or shave off their hair for movies or because they like it. These include Andre Agassi, Michael Jordan, Bruce Willis, The Rock, Michael Stipe, Jason Statham and Michael Chicklis. Many men beginning to bald are buzzing off the remaining hair and have been able to accept their baldness in a better light.
They no longer need to comb the few left over hair in a particular way as to cover the bald patch and avoid that constant mirror gazing to make sure the hair is right, in wind and rain. Short hair makes the hair loss seem less apparent, giving the head a smooth and uniform look way better than those ridiculous comb overs that don’t deceive anyone. The added bonus – shampooing is quick and easy. The shape of the head can be a guide to choosing either shaving or buzzing and finally it should be what one is most comfortable with.
Baldness is so common and generalized that by the age of thirty, 30% of men show signs of baldness increasing to 50% at fifty. Getting upset about the inevitable can only hurt and harm one’s psyche.
Hundreds of products are available for hair loss including regeneration with minoxidil sold as Rogaine and finasteride sold as Propecia. Hair transplant is another lengthy and expensive alternative. The most trouble free and cost effective treatment for baldness would most certainly be to shave or buzz.
Women love men with an attractive personality and who ooze confidence but with the right sense of humor, not just a head with gorgeous hair. Men must not lose their confidence due to baldness but must get comfortable with it. That will be a magnet for women.
Focussing the mind on physical and mental activities can help remove that constant worrying of the baldness. Allowing the loss of hair to consume oneself will only lead to being totally consumed by something of no importance and destroying one’s own life.
Hair loss must not be allowed to take away all self-esteem and confidence, opening one to ridicule and pity. Braving it with confidence and accepting what the genes gave can open up life to be enjoyed and loved. Be proud of that bald wise head.
