Baldness or receding hairline is a common problem among men. Sometimes, thinning hair can affect a man as young as 20 years old. Although the loss of hair is often associated with age, there are men who experience it at an earlier period than usual.
One of the possible causes is genetics. If baldness runs in the family, then it is highly likely that you will go the same route. Well, there really is nothing much that can be done about it, but you can always shave your head and still look cool and sexy since completely bald men do have a certain appeal.
Now, there are things that men do that can actually aggravate the condition, bring its early onset or cause him to get bald even though his genes are solid and he has no other medical condition that can precipitate it.
Too much fussing is one of these things. No one is telling you not to primp yourself up, but anything excessive is bad. If you use too much hair gel or other hair grooming substances, it can lead to your hair prematurely thinning out or falling off. If you like styling your hair in corn rows or braids, that could also contribute to the strands’ early retirement.
And of course, the usual culprits – heavy drinking, bad diet, lack of exercise and just plain bad hygiene. Baldness can be genetic or can be the cause of another medical condition. If you don’t fall under any of the two pre-mentioned criteria, then it is your fault. Learn to take care of your overall health and your hair will be fine.
