Hair loss is very common with men aged from as young as 16 years old upwards. Even though it’s usual, it’s no less excruciating for the individual concerned. Androgenic alopecia is usually the first sign the person is ageing, and can happen as soon as your late teens, and such early balding can lead to social anxiety and even depression. While people tend to view being bald as normal, it’s no joke when it’s you experiencing baldness.
Androgenic alopecia (or male pattern baldness) impacts men in different ways. Some men don’t experience any form of baldness until later on in life. Others experience the normal male pattern : a gradual losing of hair around the temples. Other patterns include the crown area first of all, or a quick thinning out of all hair.
If every man lost his hair at the same time in the same pattern, it might be said that we wouldn’t find it so painful. However, it’s the diversity of balding patterns and speed in how they happen (from man to man) which makes many individuals feel rather depressed and even victimised by nature if they experience particularly rapid forms of baldness.
Browsing the internet, you would be forgiven for thinking there’s a variety of painless cures to baldness. Just eat X pills and/or apply Y spray topically, and your hair will as if by magic grow back. For sure, there are lotions that thicken the hair, and medications that can slow down the balding process to some degree, but there’s no confirmed cure to losing one’s hair - no miraculous supplement that people can take to absolutely guarantee hair growth, or even the prevention of baldness.
But there is a solution. There are hair systems men can wear to hide their balding pate. These hair systems can be developed according to their colour of hair and type of baldness. Even close-up it’s frequently hard to understand that there is indeed a hair system blended in. If wearing a hairpiece is the difference between feeling confident or feeling depressed and anxious, then it’s advisable to wear one.
