Hair Loss and You: Being Bald isn’t Unprofessional

If you were to travel back in time about 25 years you would encounter a very different world: big hair was in (as were shoulder pads in suits unfortunately), hair loss was still rather perplexing and frustrating, and the Terminator was still years away from release (irrelevant, but still interesting).  There were also many differences then when compared to today.

Relating specifically to hair loss, the primary differences were:

• Being completely bald was unprofessional – Many people associated someone with a completely bald head to be part of a white supremacist gang or hate group.  Obviously, this was a very negative stereotype that anyone in the business world would probably want to avoid.
  
  
• Hair loss treatments were very ineffective – At that time most hair loss treatments did not have a proven history of success, and hence from the consumer’s point of view they were very sketchy.  The effectiveness of new hair loss products had not yet been proven.  In fact, it would be nearly 10 years before hair loss treatments would reach a sustainable level of acceptance in modern society.
  
  
• Hair loss was much more frustrating – Since consumers had fewer options regarding their hair loss it was a much more frustrating experience.  When hair loss was noticed it was much more frustrating simply because men had fewer options to effectively deal with it.

  In essence, it was a comb over or a wig.

Thankfully, there are many more options available to the men of today.  Hair loss treatments that actually work do exist, and failing that, going bald isn’t such a bad thing.  There has been a huge change in the attitude of modern society regarding men and baldness.  Many people actually prefer men who “lose their hair gracefully by shaving their head”, and I can even recall a university professor of mine (who was completely bald) talking about the societal changes that have taken place regarding hair and prestige.

If you find yourself losing your hair today you have a few options:

• Shave it off – Being bald isn’t a negative thing anymore.  In fact, a lot of men look better bald than they did with hair!  Rather than cling to the last few hairs on your head, why not simply shave it off and be free of the constraints associated with hair loss?
  
  
• Treat it – Rogaine and Propecia have both emerged as the resident hair loss treatments, and both have great success rates.  Before you consider a dramatic change in hairstyles perhaps you should try using one of these treatments and see if they work for you.

Is being bald unprofessional?  No, not at all.  It is actually more unprofessional to have an awkward hair style as the result of hair loss.  Ironic, don’t you think?

Is Propecia an Effective Choice to Treat Your Hair Loss?

With the popularity of Rogaine and Propecia many people are wondering which treatment is right for them.  A free market economy is based on the fact that selection among goods will lead to better products and lower prices, yet when it comes to hair loss it often leads to conflicting emotions: which product do I want?  Which products are right for me? 

Propecia, as a hair loss treatment, is gaining popularity fast for a number of reasons: 

1. It is easy to take – Simply take Propecia as instructed.  There are no topical applications, complicated processes to remember, or specific products that must be purchased as a supplement.  Many consumers are already comfortable with taking daily medication, so incorporating Propecia into their routine is quite easy.
   
   
2. It is effective – Propecia has shown a success rate exceeding 60% which, for this kind of product, is absolutely stellar.  In some cases success rates as high as 85% have been observed.  Thanks to the high success rate Propecia is trusted among those that use it and those that recommend it.
   
   
3. It’s regulated – Propecia is only available with a prescription from your doctor.  This means that your doctor will have to ensure that Propecia is a good solution for you.  This may seem like a drawback, but when you consider the kind of product that Propecia is and how it works it is actually quite calming knowing that your doctor approves of it.
   

These three reasons are the main reasons why Propecia is gaining popularity as quickly as it is.  Of course, the fact that it works is also another important factor.

How Propecia Works

Propecia is more of a medication than a hair loss treatment.  Most hair loss treatments require topical application to the scalp and hair follicles, whereas Propecia is an oral medication that is taken daily.  Many people don’t see how taking a pill can stop or reverse their hair loss, but once they understand the science behind Propecia it all makes sense.

Propecia is known as a “hormonal inhibitor”, in that it prevents a certain hormone (called Dihydrotestosterone) from being released.  Dihydrotestosterone has been identified as the primary reason behind male hair loss (that is obviously unrelated to health problems or lifestyle choices), and removing its presence from the body is very effective at treating hair loss.

By now you’re probably wondering why the removal of Dihydrotestosterone from the body doesn’t prevent hair loss for all men.  The reality is that hair loss is a rather complicated process, and though the science is there to treat most forms of hair loss, it is nearly impossible to be 100% effective on everyone due to the sheer variety of genetic variances, lifestyle choices, occupations, and environments.

However, Propecia is a very valid and legitimate hair loss treatment.  If you are experiencing hair loss you may find it beneficial to talk to your doctor about Propecia.

Are you surprised by the fact that the hair loss industry – 90% of which focuses on men – is a billion dollar per year industry?  If you are, well, you shouldn’t be- there’s no other topic that creates the same emotional response in men (besides erectile dysfunction, of course) and there is also no other subject that has as much misinformation (besides penis enlargement, of course).  The makers of products that help stop or even reverse hair loss are making hundreds of millions of dollars as a result of this trend.

As you can imagine, some products are garbage and do not (and would not) work.  Other products, such as Rogaine or Propecia, have a great success rate and a cult following among those who use it.  The success of Rogaine and Propecia has prompted a surge in the industry, with millions of dollars being invested and billions of dollars being absorbed from customers. 

What is the “Hair Loss” Industry?

Every major consumer trend, from cosmetics to hair loss, has some kind of consumer action behind it.  As a result, companies are quick to offer products and solutions that appeal to the market that has been created by the trend.  Hair loss is one such example that has experienced relatively steady growth since the 1950s, with spikes of interest in the ‘70s and ‘90s when new products were successfully introduced into the market.  

The hair loss industry represents everything from manufacturers of hair loss products, surgeons that provide hair transplant surgeries, distributors of said hair loss products, advertising firms dealing with hair loss products, and so on.  Because of the high demand of the products and the desperation of the customers, this industry remains one with a steady revenue stream and thus steady growth.

Changes in the Hair Loss Industry 

In the 1950s there were a series of discoveries made by scientists regarding products that could be used for the treatment of hair loss.  The first products were released several years later, and the hair loss industry was born.  In its infancy it was a relatively new “science” that was trusted by the consumer base simply because no one knew any better.

As time passed it became apparent that many products that were designed to treat hair loss were laughable solutions.  Consumers became more aware, and hence the growth of the hair loss industry stagnated to a relatively steady growth as opposed to the exponential growth that you’d expect from that kind of industry.  In the 1970s new products were discovered that could be used for hair loss treatments, and in the 1980s the first of these products was released. 

The real changes weren’t made until the 1990s, however, when Rogaine was skyrocketed to international fame (to the point where it is now a household name).  It was the first product that has shown positive results across a wide range of men.  In the mid-1990s Propecia would also become quite popular, and today the same two products dominate the hair loss industry.

The Future of the Hair Loss Industry 

Growth.  New surgical procedures, products, and scientific discoveries are making hair loss treatments more effective and more permanent.  The industry is also undergoing a regulatory shakedown, per say, as consumers become more aware of products and their effectiveness (thanks largely to the ability to openly send and receive information).

Without question, a lot of changes are coming.

If you are buying medications or hair loss treatments that are not on the “exempt” list you are going to find that it’s much more difficult to deal with the hubbub and the regulations, and it may be nearly impossible to get the pharmacy to actually ship the item to you. Many products that are pharmacy related can be found online in both name brand and generic varieties.

If you live in the UK, or The European Union, the hard part won’t be finding a reputable online pharmacy to buy from; the hard part will be actually getting the medication into the country itself. In the case of hair loss medication (such as Rogaine or Propecia), there are two reasons why it would be ceased at customs:

1. It is considered counterfeit – Counterfeiting is a massive international business that operates entirely underground. Everything from cologne to speakers are counterfeited, and the both the EU and the UK governments take active steps to prevent counterfeit products from reaching the UK population.
   
   
2. It is a controlled substance – In the case of Propecia (which requires a prescription in order to use), importing Propecia from overseas may not be a good idea. In fact, if you are caught you could face some pretty significant charges and fines.

Ordering Hair Loss Treatments Online

Always ensure that when you are handing out your personal information you are still on the actual site itself and not a site that has been designed to imitate the look of the legitimate product website. Paypal is one such website that is very often “spoofed” (copied appearance wise)- users are constantly receiving e-mails from PayPal telling them what and what not to do.

If you’ve found a safe and secure online pharmacy to order from, the next step is arranging for appropriate shipment. If you have a prescription for the medication being order (Propecia, for example) you should forward that information to the pharmacy so that it can be included with the customs paperwork. If you do not have a prescription and you are ordering it anyway, well, I suppose it’s time I said the following:

We do not take any responsibility for medication that is ceased at the boarder or any legal complications that arise as the result of ordering hair loss medication, or any other kind of medication, online from unauthorized or international pharmacies. The information on this website is for entertainment purposes and as such we maintain no warranty or obligation in regards to the information presented on this web site.

Use at your own risk!

There, I think that adequately sums up my feeling on that doesn’t it?

This is a very touchy subject for a lot of guys and it’s something that I’ve tried my hardest to approach in a way that is universally relatable for men, regardless of their background or their situation.  This question, however, is one that can’t just be “answered” and then shoved off.  No, the psychology behind the effects of hair loss is something that is uniquely complex and different for each person that experiences it.

Like all things, observation and scientific study has shown certain trends that were able to be identified and quantified.  In particular, the most common psychological effects of hair loss (regardless of the cause, be it permanent or temporary) are: 

1. Lowered perception of self-importance – Many men associate hair with youth and strength.  Some men experience little to no change in their hair at all, with their color remaining intact and their hair loss neither accelerating nor slowing down.  Others experience a rapid increase in hair loss as they age, promoting the notion that hair is tied with youth.

   Of course, nearly 60% of men will experience some kind of serious hair loss, so it is actually quite odd that such a negative stereotype (relating hair to youth) exists when the fact that so many men experience hair loss is considered.  In reality, hair loss is simply a fact of life that many men will need to learn to accept.
   
   

2. Lowered perception of capability – Having low self-esteem (and low self-worth as a result) will significantly reduce someone’s capabilities to work, play, and enjoy their life.  Many men find that they become noticeably more depressed after they start to lose hair, and those that were able to recover their hair (either through the cessation of medication/illnesses or through use of a hair recovery products like “Propecia”) almost always seem to be happier and more secure with themselves.

   However, in the interim it is not uncommon for a man to feel as if they are not capable of accomplishing things that they could take on.  Sometimes this affects big decisions, such as the decision to pursue a new career or business venture, and other times it’s much smaller than that (a family photograph, for example).
   
   

3. Dramatic increase in their sensitivity about their physical appearance – Many men that lose a substantial amount of hair become insecure and self-conscious, especially about their physical appearance.  This is often shown by men not wanting to leave the home unless they have to or by men who avoid their friends and family at all cost.

Hair loss is a touchy subject because hair is something that is very universal: all men and women have it, and it can completely redefine the way someone looks.  However, it’s even more important that the men affected by hair loss understand that it doesn’t change who they are, but rather one element of how they look.
