Hair Loss – Baldness In Men And Women

Hair is often called the symbol of our youth. It is our
crowning glory and often plays a huge role on how we view
ourselves. It may also be an expression of self-confidence and
personal style. Since we are conditioned on these beliefs, we
think that we need to have a full head of hairs to be accepted.

Just recently, I heard a girl teasing a bald man. She said "You
know God is so good to you. He gave you a face and cleared more
space for another." Expecting the man to be offended, I was
surprised to hear him reply "Listen, I save a lot on haircuts
and shampoo. That's one of the benefits of not having hair."

On the other hand, I have a semi-bald friend who is very
sensitive with his condition. Just make a joke about the hair
and he will automatically think that he is the subject of your
gag. He will explode or storm out of the room immediately.

People with this condition react differently. It's a personal
and emotional issue. Some become very distressed with it. They
believe that it is a sensitive topic and it affects their image
and self esteem. Though there are others who are not as
concerned. These optimistic people will cope well with hair
loss. They will think of possible solutions like covering it up
with hats, caps, scarves or wigs. They may even consider hair
transplants. They will not give up until they found the best
remedy for their look.

Though there are people like these who have already passed
through their grieving process, it is normal for many who feel
that their hair loss is very traumatic. There is fear,
helplessness and denial. Eventually, the feelings will lead to
anger. Very few people will reach ultimate acceptance, which
usually happens when they reach old age.

Now if a man finds it difficult to accept balding hair, how do
you think a woman will feel? She will have much fear and denial
than a man does. "How can a woman like me be bald? It is
expected that men can be bald, but not women, not me! It's not
happening to me!" It will be like an emotional roller coaster
and psychologically devastating!

But whether you are a man or a woman, remember this: You may
have no control over the baldness, but you can have a choice
about dealing with the problem. It is important to confront
yourself and say "If my hair would grow again and stay - its
good! But if it doesn't, I cannot do anything about it but all
is well with me."

You can choose to deny or accept this fact of your life. You
can go from fear, denial, and anger but in the end, choose to
have ultimate acceptance. When you make a decision to accept,
your choice will not only affect your outlook in life, but it
will also influence how others see you and handle your baldness.
When you have a positive outlook in life, you choose peace over
conflict. You choose health over illness. Now make your choice.
