Hair Loss: Peoples Reaction to Losing Hair
The most common type of hair loss, is called Androgenetic
Alopecia and is a hereditary condition that accounts for the
vast majority of all cases of baldness in men and women.
The condition varies between the sexes with women seeing their
hair gradually thinning all over the head. Unlike men, whose
hairline generally recedes from the forehead.
One's genetics determine the extent of hair loss and at what age
the condition will commence.
Other causes of hair loss can be the taking of certain
medications, wearing the hair tightly braided or in tight
ponytails.
Stress and tension can also trigger baldness in certain people.
The first reaction to the realization of hair loss is to simply
shrug it off and ignore it. This is particularly evident amongst
younger people who are experiencing premature signs of baldness.
Some young men, particularly those in their late teens and early
twenties, who are faced with a receding hairline don't pay much
attention to the fact as it has the effect of making them look
older. This, of course, is quite acceptable to them.
However, as the condition progresses and the hair loss becomes
quite apparent, the situation can become most traumatic for the
afflicted.
Men may become depressed and anxious, their self-esteem may
plunge, and they may become more and more withdrawn from the
world. Their various attempts to disguise the balding may
inhibit their desire to run, swim, or perform any exercise, or
to be outdoors in windy or humid conditions that could hamper
their efforts to disguise their thinning hair.
People often begin to avoid intimate contact with others. These
can
constitute major negative effects on physical and
psycho-emotional health.
Long ago, a full head of hair was valued as a means of
protection, warmth and camouflage.
Today we value hair as an enhancement, good hair is associated
with power, virility and youth. The bald or balding are
sometimes passed over and teased at work, in the media and in
the social scene. The media idolizes the young and the
attractive and often lampoons the bald or balding.
Hair loss can result in various psychological and emotional
issues including insecurity, isolation, panic, a sense of loss
and depression, as well as suicidal tendencies.
The tendency to look at a mirror is curbed and only done when
necessary and even then only facial features are brought into
focus. The number of situations where ones image can be
reflected is enormous, for instance, shop, bus and train windows
are to be avoided especially in direct light.
Being bald makes people self conscious, prematurely deprives
them of their youthful looks and behavior, it affects their
interaction with other people and, in extreme cases, can be
regarded as a physical disability.
People should remind themselves that being bald is in no way
going to alter the affections of the people that most matter to
them.
