Different people have very different ways of coping with hair loss. Even for the most hardy of people hairloss can be a psychologically damaging problem. It can make people feel less confident is themselves and should therefore be treated with a greater level of seriousness than it often is.
Most people dismiss the effects of hair loss and it is made fun of. But it can be extremely upsetting. The upsetting effects of hair loss are often dismissed because they are associated with vanity. People that are upset by their own loss of hair are often considered vain and as a result they are ridiculed for taking their hair loss seriously. It is a shame because losing hair can be extremely upsetting to people. It is similar to the news reports that cover stories of people that have had cosmetic surgery that has gone wrong.

I was having lunch with my Dad one afternoon when he mentioned a product he was using had stopped his hair loss. A few weeks earlier, he was having a little problem with dandruff and decided to see a dermatologist about it. This doctor recommended an over the counter product called “Scalpicin” to help control his flaking. After a few weeks of usage my Dad could find little to no hairs in the brush he regularly used. He knew this would be of interest to me since I was having my own struggles with keeping my hair.

It is a little known fact that every single one of use loses around 100 strands of hair per day. Hearing this may sound alarming but do not despair - it is perfectly normal! A normal head of hair contains around 100,000 follicles each of which can grow around 20 individual hairs in a lifetime. The lost strands of hair are therefore replaced naturally by hairs that grow out of the follicles. Permanent hair loss occurs when the follicle is damaged or lost. Baldness occurs when the follicles die and are unable to produce replacement strands of hair.

Many theories suggest that male pattern baldness results from sexual selection. Many suggest that bald men are more virile or sexually active than men with full heads of hair. Although there is yet to be comprehensive evidence either way scientists have agreed that the levels of testosterone and DHT have a significant influence in hair loss.
Many primate species also experience baldness after puberty. In some species the male will encourage frontal hair loss and it appears that frontal balding conveys increased status and maturity to the social group. In humans the response to baldness is extremely variable. Although widely acceptable for men it can be a point of stigma for women.

Hair loss in the animal kingdom can be considered a point of pride. In some primate groups hair loss signifies status and maturity to the group. Female Gorillas have been seen to favour the member of the social group that has the largest forehead as a result of hair loss and as a result many male gorillas have been seen to encourage hair loss by rubbing their foreheads against abrasive surfaces. This trend seems to correlate with responses to baldness from humans.
