Hair Loss – Get Over It

Discover Your Inner Style

It’s not often discussed, but hair loss can have devastating effects on the self-confidence and emotional well-being of affected men. While hair loss is an obstacle that is thrown into most men’s lives at some point, the ways in which to deal with it are up to each individual. There are only two options :

• allow thinning hair to affect your life in a negative manner,

• face it head on and overcome it.

Hair Loss – Get Over It and Do Something About It

Instead of fretting about your changing hairline, realize that you have many other great attributes that represent who you are. A confident man who is balding is much more attractive than an insecure man with a full head of hair. Here are some ways to take your mind off hair loss while developing your self-confidence:

• Get fit! Nothing will make you look or feel better than a good work out. Exercise relieves stress and releases natural, feel-good endorphins.
• Emphasize your best feature. Whether it is your eyes, or your smile, find something you love about your appearance and work it.
• Do something different. If you have always wanted to try your hand at something new, now is the time to do it! Take a class; join a sports team or go on a trip – anything that shakes up your routine and gives you a new experience will do wonders for your self confidence.

“My best style tip that I give to men is to accept yourself. Accept that your hair is thinning. Don’t try to camouflage thinning hair by growing a pony tail or sporting a comb-over that will only draw attention to the area. Instead, get a short haircut and use volumizing hair products. Don’t forget to work on the inside (your confidence) as much as your outside appearance.”
