The idea of haircuts to disguise baldness is nothing new.
This could even be taken a step forward by pointing out that in the eighteenth century colonial Britain almost everyone in a position of power wore a wig.
The question could be asked was it for style or perhaps many of the social elite were bald as cucumber but were hesitant to show it? After all even today when someone begins the balding process many equate it with being over the hill.
Perhaps in the eighteenth century when power was equated to being strong and viral a loss of hair could embolden once dossal adversaries.
Wouldn't the American independence icon Ben Franklin have loved to have a truckload of minoxidil (Rogaine) to open up those damaged hair follicles and re-grow a new head of hair so that for the next 250 years every picture of him wouldn't look old and bald! But when you think about it not much has really changed.
We still equate a full head of hair with good health and youthfulness and human beings are quite resourceful at adopting haircuts to disguise baldness.
Men generally employ the shaved head strategy so popular with balding athletes while others go with the hair comb-overs combined with coloring or scalp tinting.
Women generally use coloring and/or perms to try to create the illusion of a full head of hair.
There are many others but you get the picture.
But my question is why disguise it when you can treat it after all in most cases the only person who doesn't notice you are losing your hair is you.
It must be pointed out that if your balding is severe then the only real treatment to restore that youthful head of hair is transplant surgery.
On the other hand if only moderate hair loss has occurred then put the baldness hair style magazine down and take action to protect your existing hair and re-grow some of that long lost hair.
In other words why hide it when you could treat it.
What Next? There are currently a handful of hair re-growth products (specially formulated for both men and women) which have been proven effective both in blocking harmful hormones and bringing the all important dead hair follicles back to life.
These specially formulated products can be used both as a preventative tool, starting before hair loss becomes severe, or after loss of hair has become noticeable.
Whatever the level of balding or thinning you are experiencing these products could be just what is needed to overcome this latest life challenge.
