Balding is a serious issue that affects millions of people every day. For millennia, humans have lost their hair as they age, a process referred to as male or female pattern baldness. Though wholly natural, baldness can be embarrassing, make you look older, and destroy your self-confidence. It can affect your relationships and your job, and it can alter the manner in which others view you. Scientific advances in recent decades have provided the means to restore hair lost to pattern baldness, which can significantly improve your physical appearance, thereby improving your outlook and radically affecting your day-to-day life.
Physical Appearance
Modern society places a high value on physical appearance and self-care. Given the role that external beauty plays today, it is not surprising that so many people worry about how they look. While makeup can be applied to cover or conceal a blemish or wrinkle, no such fix can be applied to baldness. It is a very visual issue that cannot be easily hidden or covered up. Instead, more permanent solutions should be sought to resolve hair loss issues.
How Others Perceive You
Whether we like it or not, first impressions are important and while we know we shouldn’t “judge a book by its cover,” we still do. Employers, colleagues, relationship partners, friends, family, and even strangers in the street form perceptions of you based on your physical appearance. Oftentimes, this snap judgment is almost on a subconscious level. Our initial judgement of someone can be made within the first 15 seconds of meeting them. As you might expect, that decision is largely made on physical characteristics. Balding is one of the most readily apparent physical characteristics that almost everyone will notice, and it has the potential to significantly affect how others view you and treat you. Hair restoration may significantly improve how you feel and how others view you.
Self-Confidence
Directly related to how others view you is how you perceive yourself. Slowing or reversing hair loss has the potential to improve your own self-confidence. In turn, this has the effect of allowing you to present the best version of yourself, without the fear, trepidation, or embarrassment that balding can present you are more likely to let your guard down and relax in social settings.
Pattern baldness is a common issue that affects many facets of day-to-day life. However, it is one that can be resolved with the use of modern technology.
