The
Bald and the Beautiful
Baldness affects millions of men
throughout the world. For a long time there was no cure, but thanks to
the advances made by science, men do have a few options now. However, before
you decide which option is for you, get some dope on the subject.
Blame it on Dad!
That's right, baldness is mostly
hereditary, so if papa had a bald head, chances are, he's passed on the
baldness gene to you. These genes will cause you to have hair follicles
that will eventually get defunct. They will slowly start producing weaker
and weaker hair that will fall off and break easily, and eventually the
follicles will completely stop producing hair.
Hair Transplant
Many men have opted to go in for
hair transplant, in which strong hair follicles are implanted in the scalp.
Those who have had this procedure are reportedly happy with the results.
So if you are unhappy with your bald look and would want a head full of
hair, there is no reason really not to go in for a transplant. It's not
a major surgery, and does not involve any complications if you go to a
reputed person. And with further advances, this technique is fast gaining
in popularity. recovery is faster now, there is not as much bleeding or
scarring, and, of course, you get your own, natural hair back.
Going the Rogain
Way
If you have just started balding,
there is a drug by the name of Rogain, which has shown excellent results.
It works best for men between the ages of 25 and 35. Rogain needs to be
rubbed into to the bald spots on the scalp to stop further hair loss. However,
once you start Rogain you should keep it up and apply it everyday or your
hair will start falling. In addition, you may experience side effects,
the most common of which is a light rash. There may even be long-term effects
which are not fully known as Rogain is a relatively new drug. Thus, it's
best taken under supervision of a doctor.
If you decide that neither of these
options are for you, don't worry, there's still scope for you to look like
the handsome stud you are! Here are a few tips.
-
Wear a hat. However, you shouldn't wear
one all the time, as you need to let your scalp breathe. So take it off
when at home and, of course, when asleep! Depending on the hat you choose,
it could add a lot of personality to your character. And if you wear it
well, it can be a great, stylish accessory.
-
Don't develop the stereotype bald head
and paunch look, for heaven's sake! Exercise, do sit ups and get rid of
that tyre around your belly. If you are in ship shape without a spare inch
of flesh, if you work out regularly and have a pleasant disposition, you
can still look sexy. Believe me, baldness is not a turn off for most women!
-
Don't let people who joke about your
bald head get to you. If your friends realize you get hassled, they will
pull your leg even more. Don't get touchy about it. It's not worth it!
-
60% of men go bald prematurely. It's
perfectly natural, and it's not a health concern - it's just a cosmetic
concern. While you can't prevent it, thankfully you can now cure it.
