When you start having hair loss, you might not notice it at first. But the second time you actually see a fall-out, a little warning flag begins to fly in the upper left-hand alcove of your mind. If you are just a little bit insecure (and who isn't, when it comes to physical appearance?) that little flag can become as big as a California King-size sheet. It can become as constant and annoying as a bonus-room sized American Flag flapping and clanging on a giant-sized flagpole right outside your office.
If you are not careful, you may begin to become obsessed with your hair loss problem. Of course, the Popular Misconception could very easily lead you in the wrong direction of a brand new thought-pet: a veritable obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is most commonly defined by guys who find themselves spending way too much time in front of the mirror, fretful and trying to fix the problem of thinning hair.
Some guys begin to think in a not-so-positive light. If you have been looking forlornly at hair commercials featuring models with incredibly thick heads of hair, wondering how you can recover your lost strands, you need to stop it right now.
Oh sure, maybe the commercially driven world has made you think that thick hair is most important physician acumen. In a million ways, you may get the message that women are less attracted to men with thin hair or those who have no hair at all.
Whatever has made you believe this is in error. Maybe it is something somebody told you. Maybe it is something you perceived from a few harsh reactions from surprisingly immature women or men who have gross insecurities that are unnamable and definable only after years of therapy.
The big idea that the man with thinning hair is less sexually attractive to others is wrong-and here's why. Up to 50% of the human male species experiences some noticeable level of pattern hair loss.
And one of the first concerns, which can become an irritating fear, of young men facing androgenetic alopecia, or male-pattern hair loss-- is that the opposite sex will suddenly find them less attractive.
Have you asked 100 women what they think? Their answers might knock your socks off. Would you believe that 50% of those women, questioned in random selections, say that one of the most important qualities in the men of their choice is a healthy sense of humor? And those women said that how much hair you have on your head is way down on their list of importance? That is how women really feel. Why? Because at least 50% of the female population grew up with family men experiencing medium to major hair loss.
They might actually be genetically disposed to prefer men with thinning hair, although a study will have to be done on that, maybe in some Freudian research mecca in Europe.
Of course, you will not see any million-dollar advertising campaigns on television or slick fashion advertising plans to promote some automatic Sense of Humor solution. Nobody can make a buck off of that, because it is really hard to package.
Clear the head and lighten up. It is no small wonder that physicians and researchers have recently discovered that Male Pattern Hair Loss can be triggered by stress. De-stressing your mind is going to help you keep your hair.
You can get some great treatments that actually save your hair. The best ones are 100% natural and botanical in origin. Go for it! But please go for it in full knowledge that the brain beneath the skull is by far your most important acumen, when it comes to your attractiveness and desirability
