Few things life can scare a man as much as losing his hair. No matter how brave the individual might consider himself to be the thoughts of losing his precious locks is enough to strike fear into the hearts of all men. The reality is that well over 85% of men will experience some degree of hairloss during their lifetime. Indeed 90% of all men are destined to experience actual baldness – it’s only a matter of time.

Why do men fear losing their hair so much? After all is it really that important? That comes down to your own point of view. There’s so much emphasis put on hair as a status symbol. From characters in books to musicians and movie stars. Those with the thickest hair are always portrayed as the most popular/sexiest/richest guy around.

Conversely if we look at popular entertainment like The Simpsons where the ultimate goofball is a bald guy called Homer. Bald men are seen as something to be ridiculed more so than anything else. Or are they?

How much of the stigma attached to male pattern baldness has to do with the feelings of the person involved versus the prejudice of society. Does this prejudice even exist? It may have but this type of social stigma is becoming historical fact as our society evolves and grows in its understanding and acceptance of all types of people and situations.

Baldness has become not only acceptable but very chic and fashionable in many places. Bald men are no longer seen as lacking virilty – actually quite the opposite. Bald is in and seems set to stay that way for a long time to come.

So if baldness is now fashionable why do so many men continue to hide themselves under truly terrible hairpieces? Why do many men suffer the excrutiating pain of botched hair transplants? Again this comes down to the individuals perception of their own self-worth. If a man has grown up believing (or being led to believe) that his hair is more important than his kindness, ability to love or contribute to society in any great way then when his hair does start falling out he loses all faith in himself. This is simply because he’s been ‘brainwashed’ into believing that he is nothing without his hair. This is how the hairloss industry profits from the misery of others.

For anyone reading this who is going through the pain of losing his hair then realize this. It’s just hair. The whole is far more important than the sum of its parts and your hair is just a very small part of you. Will losing your hair affect your ability to work? No. Will losing your hair make you less desirable? No. Will losing your hair make you less capable of achieving all your dreams? Absolutely not.
