So do our hair and hair loss affect us today as much as it did years ago? We do all want to look our best and our hair today continues to be an expressive of ideas to this - a full head of hair is still considered a sign of youth and vigor. The way our hair looks can make or ruin our appearance completely and your hairstyle has to be perfect for you to look your best. Considering the pressures we face living in a highly competitive, youth orientated and grooming conscious society, hair loss probably affects us even more today both at work and in our social lives than ever before. The problem is that our high technology culture still has made virtually no progress in finding a true universal cure for hair loss that can be taken internally or applied externally even today most lotions and potions offered have little more success than those offered to the ancient Egyptian’s. What is worse is that some of today’s much more intelligent men who are stressed out by suffering hair loss are often just as likely to believe the claims made for worthless solutions and treatments as these cowboys of yesterdays. It is fairly easy these days to be carried away with all those colorful looks and advertisings that promise instant sex appeal and change of personality once someone’s hair returns. Most of the brochures show that as soon as hair is back there is a woman at the man’s side. This unfortunately is not always true in real life but the fact is that men today who suffer from hair loss are usually so intent on finding a solution, they’ll try almost anything. It’s not that they’re looking for some fountain of youth. They’re just tired of hair loss making them look ten to fifteen years older than they really are, and they are committed to doing something decisive and positive about it. Most people assume that it is only men who suffer from hair loss, but nothing could be further far away from the real truth. Although it is basically true with regards to heredity, millions of women all over the world suffer from some form of hair loss and the number appears to be rising each year. Our society may mock men suffering from baldness, but at least it is tolerated. However a woman suffering from baldness is just not acceptable by society whatsoever. Until people can actually accept one another as they are and not judge them by their looks, then we shall always have the problem, with balding women being virtually treated as outcasts. For a woman hair loss can be devastating, in our society hair is regarded as a symbol of beauty and desirability, without hair some women feel complete failures and the effects can be disastrous. Actually hair loss can be seen to some women as losing their femininity. However it is not only hair loss that can impact our everyday's life. Too dry or greasy hair, flaky or itchy scalp, dandruff and other problems can eventually lead to hair loss. In general our hair reflects our general health and is vulnerable to stresses and strains of our everyday life. If you are not healthy and not taking proper care of yourself then your hair will eventually lose its shine and bounce and become dull. And when your hair and scalp are in good condition, you’ll find your hair looks better and is much easier to style. How to bring your hair back to normal, how to make them grow and shine, how to avoid hair loss or how to get your hair back - these various hair problems are likely to be with us well into the 21st century - and beyond... There is a large number of various hair consultants and even hair clinics out there that will sell worthless scalp massages, hair growth lotions and pills or even ultraviolet ray treatment that they claim will help grow hair and stop or slow down the rate of hair loss. If you are really worried about your hair condition and want to do something about it you have to have a full information for yourself first in order to decide which hair loss solution if any is suitable for you. And you need to start from understanding of what is it exactly your hair...
