The problem of hair loss in men has
mutated into a billion dollar industry.
Whether in the form of pills, lotions or hair
transplants, it is clear that having a full head
of hair is important to males. And they are
willing to pay a lot for it.
ATTRACTIVENESS AND EXTERNAL
PERCEPTION
It has long been known that bald men are
perceived quite well, as researchers at the
University of Pennsylvania found out in 2012. In
a nutshell: bald guys were perceived as more
dominant and rated almost an inch taller and
13 percent stronger than men with a full head
of hair. And those with shaved heads received
top marks for masculinity.
BALDNESS AND PROSTATE CANCER
A 2010 study found that men who go bald at a
young age have up to 45% less risk of prostate
cancer later in life. Scientists from the Washington
University Medical School in Seattle
studied 2,000 men between the ages of 40
and 47, half of whom had prostate cancer. The
results showed that men who were already
developing bald spots and receding hairlines
had the lowest risk of cancer.
IDEALS OF BEAUTY AND SELF-
CONFIDENCE
Beauty ideals are constantly changing. Look at
Billie Eilish who got a lot of criticism for supposedly
betraying feminist values ​by making
herself into an object. Just because she starts
wearing red light district corsets and posing
as a full-on seductress. Her answer: ”I can do
whatever I want!“
If there is one thing men can learn from the
stony path of female emancipation, it is not to
let others control you. Man, you are beautiful,
with a bald head or full hair. It depends on how
you carry yourself and in particular your head:
uplifted and endowed with a self-confidence
that has been hard-earned through reflection?
Or lowered because you still think you are only
worth as much as others allow you to be?
ALTERNATIVE: HAIR TRANSPLANT
However, many men simply cannot come to
terms with the fact that the hair on their head
is slowly disappearing. They feel increasingly
unattractive and may even withdraw from
social life. That is of course sad, but there is
help in the form of a hair transplant.
There are now numerous clinics around the
world that offer hair transplants. Facilities in
Turkey, for example, are among the best and
focus on quality and affordable prices in equal
measure. (ts,mb)
