Hair Loss Myths

Hair Loss Myths

Believe it or not, (yes, you probably do) there are many
hair loss myths out there. Just like any other type of
medical condition or any thing else that people just do not
understand, there are many things that people just do not
know about hair loss. And, there are some very amusing
types of myths out there. Here are some.

Why It Happens:

Many individuals think that the fact that they are losing
their hair has something to do with their intelligence,
their social status, their relation with one’s virility,
their job, their wealth and many other things. The fact is,
though, that hair loss is something that many people face
each and every day and it has nothing to do with any of
these things. It can be hereditary and it can be caused by
medical conditions, but surely it is not caused by how much
money you have in the bank!

If I Use My Head Too Much:

In some cultures, it is believed that an individual that
uses their brain too much or those that have had head
injuries may be at risk for baldness. This myth is one that
is thought to have been founded because the brain is
located inside the head and therefore they are directly
related. Of course, this is not true. This is even evident
in many movies where the ‘dumb’ one is bald.

Bald Men Are More Sexually Active:

While there is no real way of even knowing if this is true,
it is probably not the determining factor in if they have
hair or not. Hair loss does not have anything to do with
the sexual activity of an individual. The myth probably
comes from the fact that in some individuals, the removal
of androgens through castration can prevent baldness and
may even stop it from progressing further than it has.

There are many myths about hair loss.

If you are unsure about the facts of hair loss, you should
talk to your doctor before doing anything else. You will
want to know what is causing your particular hair loss. It
could be a medication that you are taking, a lack of
balanced hormones within your body, or it could even be a
hereditary condition that you are facing. The fact remains
that if you are one of the many that will face baldness or
hair loss this year, you may find a lot of myths along the
way to success.
