Hello and welcome to the Balding Cure Blog.
Lets start by talking about Hair Loss.
For some men going bald doesn't greatly concern them, especially men in their middle ages and above. A lot of men just acknowledge that it's a sign of getting older and accept this fact. However for some going bald can be a traumatic time. Watching your forehead turn from a fivehead into a ninehead can feel like a loss of identity. Plus your balding reflection is a constant reminder that your rapidly aging body is a mortal husk prone to the effects of time and entropy that will ultimately wither and die. Aging is some scary ish. Between your receding gums and your receding hairline, it seems like it won’t be long till you’re just a straight up skeleton. Hair today, gone tomorrow, indeed.
Being bald is not exactly valued in our culture. There are no Hallmark cards that say “Congratulations! You’re going bald!” So I’d like to offer the following advice to all the sad young balding men out there coping with their own hair loss.
Everybody has hair — even bald people. It's just that the hairs on their head are practically invisible — they're called vellus hairs, and once those tiny hairs appear on balding skin, hair loss has begun. Don't let it get worse.
The best treatment for male pattern hair loss is a drug called finasteride, which is marketed as Propecia. It can slow or arrest balding and sometimes even spur new hair growth. There can be side effects (including lower libido), so talk to your doctor.
You could also try laser therapy. There are lasers you can buy over the counter, on the Web, or through a doctor — laser brushes, laser combs — but the best option is a LaserCap. It's the Cadillac of lasers. It's still being studied, and it's expensive, but it's powerful and convenient.
