More Men Fret Over Hair Loss Today
Once, long ago, there was a stereotype that men didn’t care
about their looks, that hair out of place, unkempt fingernail or untucked
shirt, were never something this sex cared about. But whether the times are
changing, or that stereotype never existed, the fact of the matter is that men
do care about how they look, and each year investments in beauty products
targeted at this demographic are proof.
Walk through any crowded mall or streets in a busy city like New York that
attract people from all corners of the world, and you’re sure to see men who
appear very in tune with their looks and physical attributes. Keeping one’s
face groomed, picking shirts that are clean and that match an entire outfit are
common. Combing ones hair - also a plus.. that is, if you have the hair to
comb.
Even though men like Vin Diesel have made bald heads a ‘sexy’ attribute, not many men today are confident about the loss of hair from their scalps that occurs with age and hormonal changes.
Because of this, a number of them are turning to topical solutions, oral medications and even more radical surgeries in hopes of restoring an appearance they feel is attractive and acceptable.
The New Indian Express recently ran a column
that looked at some of the ways men today are pampering themselves to stay
attractive in the same ways women have been admitting to for years.
Dr Raj Kirit, dermatologist and cosmetologist was quoted as saying that an increase hair loss among young men is behind the reasons many turn to cosmetic treatments today.
“Hair loss is very common in the younger generation due to lifestyle changes or hereditary factors. For a lot of young men, baldness starts from the age of 16. We undertake platelet rich plasma and transplantation of hair. Before marriage is when men seem to invest in this.”
