How to deal psychologically with hair loss?

Life is unfortunately unfair. When you’re young, the hair on your head proliferates, you don’t know what to do with it. There is so much of it and you have to cut it all the time, it grows so fast. And then, it starts to get less and less. For some people, the head takes its time until they are over 40 or 50, when the receding hairline slowly starts to increase. For others, hair loss starts to be clearly visible in their 20s or 30s. Can anything be done about it? How should you deal with it psychologically?

Hair loss and the psyche – what are the effects?

The experts at Hairforlife Austria see the problem every day. Their service: Hairforlife help to find hair transplant clinics.  In their office, they have a lot of people who come to them, because they suffer emotionally from baldness on the head. Because you should know that in this game, not everyone really tells the truth. Many act calm, but in reality the things inside gnaw at them painfully.

For one thing, you have to realise that there are both men and women who suffer from hair loss. The impact on the inner life and social life of both sexes is very different. Accordingly, both factors strongly influence each other.

Hair loss in women

Hair loss in women can be caused by psychological factors or short-term hormonal problems. But there is also a condition called androgenetic alopecia. In this case, the hair roots are genetically sensitive to certain hormones. These hormones are more pronounced in men, so the problem is much more common in them. But women also suffer from it and for them this condition is more likely to be associated with high levels of stress.

The reason for this is that in our society women are measured primarily by their attractiveness. Beautiful women find it much easier to choose a partner. Men tend to attach more importance to appearance in their search. Women with this problem therefore usually lose a massive amount of self-esteem. Even if they all profess that only inner values are important, a bald head tends to lead to loneliness for them on average. This is accompanied by negative emotions and psychological stress.

Hair loss in men

Things are a little different with men. There, it is almost normal that most men lose their hair at some point anyway. Their baldness is more accepted. There is also the so-called “cool baldness”. The experts from grovebarbershop.com have a lot of customers, who want to have their head shaved completely to appear attractive in a different way. This trend has been started mainly by the bald men from Hollywood, who have earned a reputation in action films as leg-burning dudes. Like those guys here in the video:

But men are also suffering from the loss. In surgeries and clinics, there are always people who would like to have their hair back. Not everyone would admit it. But even men sometimes despair of their subjectively perceived unattractive appearance.

What can be done about genetic hair loss?

For those who suffer from genetic hair loss, there is no good news. There is no hormone cure that will bring everything back into balance. No miracle cures made from exotic plants will help either. One possible help would be a toupee. There are toupees for everyone available. From the red haired young woman to the Curly Toupee for afro american citizens. But the only sustainable solution, however, is hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia. In this treatment, roots from the remaining hair are used to reinsert them in the bald areas. It is therefore a completely natural method using the patient’s own hair. It works because obviously not every hair root is sensitive to the hormones. From the remaining, resistant hair, bald spots can be revitalised with fresh hair. Here in the video is a description:

This will give all the necessary information about the method and about the hair transplant surgery risks and side effects.

Hair transplantation – does it really have to be?

Many people think that their problems in life are caused by a certain circumstance. Instead of putting it down to their personality, communication problems or social behaviour, they think a little change will fix everything. It’s like people who are overweight. They think if they somehow rid themselves of it, everything would be fine. Their relationships would be harmonious, their careers would go better and generally they would get through life better. But that is not right. In fact, it is only the body that changes. The rest is exactly the same as before.

For this reason, you should ask yourself whether it is really your hair that is causing you the biggest problems in life. Or whether you could perhaps tackle other issues.
