Facts About Hair Loss

Monday, August 31st, 2009

What is “Baldness?” I realize that it is hair loss, but do you really have to have exposed patches of skin to be considered “balding”? No.

Gradual Loss

When I was a kid, my hair was so thick that my mom could not get a rubber band around the end of my braid.  I don’t have that problem now.  I had never really considered if some hair loss is to be expected as we get older.

Why we feel the way we do

Why do some people pursue hair loss remedies and some people choose to accept their balding as it comes? Does it come down to how we want to present ourselves?  Is our hair WHO we are?

Receding Line

Maybe we need to take a step back and talk with our loved ones and our doctor before we decide on a treatment to stop or reverse hair loss. Obviously, hair loss is a big thing that affects how we feel about ourselves. We will have a terrible time being objective about the steps to take and when to say we have tried enough.

Accepting

While you are pursuing hair loss treatment, remember that you are not your hair loss! Your loss does not reflect on who you are as a person, nor does it determine how others see you as a person.
