Baldness And Hair Loss: Who Me?
Our hair is one of those crucial things that shape the notion of beauty. Since a long time ago, hair has given men percieved strength. Everyone knows the tragic story of Samson who lost his astonishing strength after his wife Delilah had cut his long hair off.
Today it’s more the matter of beauty and visual appearance rather than strength and power. And basically everyone realizes why: plenty of ads, healthy lifestyle programmes and the social dimension of human existence. The concern is that the more we care about our hair, the less hairs we appear to have. The world is facing the catastrophe of hair loss, which means more time and money will be spent on hair in the years ahead.
The crisis is somewhere between environmental situation, stress, genes and harder brain work. However,hundreds of specialists that try to work the conundrum out are not really positive about the real root of the hair loss pandemic all over the world. It’s mostly individual and can be either one negative point or the group of negative factors that lead to it.
Each and every hair on human’s body has its own follicle to grow from. The follicles make cells that after a while turn into hairs. So, hairs are those deceased cells that have been pushed out of a follicle. It is natural to lose 50-100 hairs daily. If a person loses more, that can subsequently lead to baldness.
Hair loss is not that much disastrous as it seems to be. It can be treated, successfully by specific drugs like Propecia, and what’s more – it is not dangerous for your well-being. Yet, the numbers show that about 50 percent of men around the world suffer from minor or extreme baldness and the age groups go down averaging at thirty to forty years of age.
People that begin losing hair typically have to follow simple rules to avert further hair loss. But if the situation grows to substantial baldness it is recommended that you consult a specialist first. Still, preventing methods are also appreciated. Hair has to be cared for each and every day. It is generally advised that you wash your hair according to your hair type and if you do that each and every day, then you will need to use an appropriate shampoo and balsam, especially in summer.
However, it is fairly difficult to stay cool, when there are so many myths concerning hair and baldness. Most of them basically are concerning men, as males are considered to suffer from baldness more than females. As a matter of fact, men suffer from the so called horse-shoe pattern around the sides of their head which makes the baldness more evident.
Another matter has something to do with the genetical idea of hair loss attaching a rumor that it is often enough to have a look at a father and you will see his son when he gets older, this is not biologically correct as it assumes the sole influence of father’s genes in forming the son’s cells.
Popular hair loss myths also include:
- baldness may be one of the side effects of shampoo/balsam overuse.
- it is pointless to care about my hair as I can not prevent my old age baldness anyway.
- it is detrimental for the hair to wear a hat etc.
