Men Pattern Hair Loss - Ten Myths




By James Fellow

Myth 1: The hair loss is carried out in a random way.

Reality: False. Hair loss related to androgenic alopecia, the most current baldness form, progresses in a foreseeable way. Thus, women presents a general thinning on the top of the head, while for men, edges moves away gradually from the face until taking the shape of Mr. If baldness continues, hair on the top of the head are also likely to fall.


Myth 2: Loosing hair can start at any age.

Reality: In general, hair loss starts only after puberty. For men, 95% hair loss cases are ascribable to hereditary phenomenon named "androgenic alopecia" or common baldness. At 50 years age, half men present a certain degree of baldness. For woman, hair loss, which is especially observed after the menopause, happen to between 40 and 50% of women.

Although there is not any scientific proof binding baldness and virility, studies show that men bald people are generally less satisfied with their appearance and have the impression to be older than their age.


Myth 4: Hairs don't come back.

Reality: Hairs can grow again depending on what was the origin of baldness. Generally, hairs grow again when hair loss subjacent cause ends: life stressing event, disease like cancer or lupus, recent surgery, infection, drug taking or drugs, deprives nutritive or a too strict diet. However, androgenic alopecia must quickly be treated. The earlier the hair loss is treated, the better the chances of success.


Myth 5: Women do not lose their hair.

Reality: Women lose their hair in the same proportion as men, but usually in a less significant way. Thus, when they reach the menopause, between 40 and 50% present a certain degree of baldness related to androgenic alopecia. Female baldness appears especially on the top head and sides. Hair loss is more diffuse and affects larger area than for men. As oppose to men, women usually do not present empty plates but rather a thinning of the whole hair. Although female baldness can occur as of puberty, it usually appears after the menopause.


Myth 6: To have healthy hair, one must consume much protein.

Diverse food consumption in sufficient quantity is the key to keep itself in good health and to have healthy appearance hair.


Myth 7: a) If my father loses many hairs, it will be the same for me. b) Baldness is a genetic character transmitted by the mother.

Reality: It is true that the predisposition to baldness is hereditary. However, one can inherit baldness from his father as well as from his mother. It is generally believed that baldness is associated with genes. Moreover, as baldness is a dominating character, people who are born with those genes are likely to present early or late baldness at a certain degree.


Myth 8: The fact of shaving and of cutting the hair has consequences on the growth and the texture of the hair.

Reality: Research showed that none of these activities has effect on the growth and texture of the hair.


Myth 9: All men expect to lose their hair and this is why baldness does not disturb them.

Indeed, a great number of men bald people are concerned by their condition and less at ease in their relations with others and, consequently, feel depressed. Some must even ask for the assistance of a professional to overcome the psychological effects of baldness.


Myth 10: Nothing can be done against hair loss.

Reality: This assertion was true a few years ago. But much progress was accomplished since the fight against baldness. According to the importance of hair loss, a doctor can prescribe different drugs to counter the problem.
