For Men: 4 Tips For Coping With Hair Loss

February 4, 2021 By Leelo Leave a Comment

The ageing process can seem unfair sometimes. You wish you could grow into a lustrous-haired silver fox like Richard Gere, who still retains his Hollywood leading man status well into his seventies. But life can be cruel, and once you hit your forties, things start to decline. Your joints begin to ache, wrinkles appear on your face, and you can barely lift the toilet seat without doing your back in. But the most unpleasant symptom of ageing is when you start losing your hair.

The first time you notice you are going bald can be a frightening and upsetting experience. Your hair is what keeps you looking young, but once it starts to go, there is no way of hiding your age. Of course, you could wear hats, style it into a dodgy comb-over, or invest in an expensive hair transplant. You could even experiment with hair transplant drugs like Finasteride. But you will just be putting off the inevitable. If you’re not careful, your hair loss could turn into an obsession. You’ll be compulsively checking your scalp in the mirror and diligently counting each and every hair that falls into the sink. This preoccupation could lead to a lack of confidence and feelings of low self-esteem and anxiety. It could even lead to more severe mental health issues like depression.

To help you grow old gracefully and stay happy and confident into your later years, it is essential that you learn to come to terms with your hair loss. The sooner you learn that going bald is not the end of the world, the quicker you can get on with your life. To get you started, here are a few great tips for coping with hair loss.

Change your hairstyle

Although you may not be able to reverse your hair loss, there are things you can to do make it less noticeable. This way, it won’t weigh as heavily on your mind every time you leave the house. Adopting a slightly different hairstyle could make a huge difference. This doesn’t mean growing out the back of your hair and fashioning it into an enormous comb over, as that won’t fool anyone. But there might be a particular style that works for your specific situation. For example, if you have a receding hairline, don’t be tempted to cover it. Instead, a side parting can look great with a higher hairline. If it’s a thinning crown that is causing you distress, try blending it in with a disconnected fade.

Grow facial hair instead

If you can’t grow any more hair on your head, why not balance it out by growing out your facial hair? A beard will draw people’s eyes, taking the focus away from your thinning hair. The beard and bald head look is a great image. Just take a look at some of the handsome celebrities who have made it their own, including Jason Statham, Stanley Tucci, and Tom Hardy.

Embrace it

You will never learn to enjoy your golden years if you can’t get past the fact that you are going bald. If you keep trying to hide it or detract attention away from it, you will come across as unconfident. The best thing to do is to embrace it. Shave your hair, hold your head up high, and walk out the door feeling happy and confident with your baldness. You will appear more attractive to others, and before long it will no longer bother you.

Get some perspective

In the grand scheme of things, your hair loss doesn’t really matter. It happens to millions of men, and the vast majority manage to get on with their happy, healthy, lives. Every time it gets you down, just remember that you are not alone. The fact that you have slightly less hair than you used to does not change a single thing about who you are. You are still the same person with the same life, the same loved ones, and the same hopes and dreams. No one will think any less of you for it, and in fact, very few people will even notice. You are much more sensitive to your hair loss because it is happening to you. Keep reminding yourself that it doesn’t matter.

Coming to terms with your hair loss may be difficult at first, but over time you will come to gain perspective and change your mindset. By following these four tips, you will be better equipped to cope with the situation and begin to move on with your life.
