Receding hairline – aesthetics and genetic

Our hair is our business card and our first impression often depends of our hairstyle condition. There is nothing wrong with being bald, but we can be sure that receding hairline is not looking very attractive and could have some negative input on our effectiveness. So it is important to show other people that we care about ourselves – just to prove that we are able also to take care of other things.

Important thing is that a person that is supposed to judge our appearance does not need to know that pattern baldness is mostly generated by genetic background. Some modern myths about baldness include believe that it is crucial for hair to develop in proper environmental conditions. Science studies showed that environmental factors have no effect on hair condition (except the most negative factors like radiation or pollution).

Other studies including results achieved from research did on citizens living in Maryborough, Australia showed that mid-frontal hair loss is increasing with age. That condition affects 57% of women and 73,5% of men (in age of 80 or greater). Placing those number in US we would achieve and effect of almost 40 million men being victims of pattern baldness effect. About 25 % of men start balding in age of 30, and more than half in age of 60. More than half will become partially bald eventually. Genetic balding is supposed to become reality because of the DHT which is a sex hormone that allows sexual activity and also hair growth all over male body. There is well known mechanism that triggers DGT to proceed and initiate follicular miniaturization which is directly leading to hair lose. Some studies says that baldness is being inherited only from maternal grandfather but there are many opinions that both male and female contribute their offspring’s capability of loosing hair by genetic heritage.

The aesthetic influence of baldness on our general appearance need to be combined with our ability to cope with naked scalp. It is crucial for us not to forget that we are still obliged to prepare ourselves to meet with other people and not to forget that sometimes our look could be even more important than that we say.
