Alopecia hair loss is a general term for all hair loss that is lost in an unwilling, medical fashion. If you shave your head, it does not count. Many people are deeply embarrassed by the baldness which can be caused by severe alopecia. This has created a big market for scammers to try to sucker people with low self-confidence into buying a product that will let them keep their hair.

Male pattern baldness is probably the most common form of alopecia. It is something that men have as part of their genetic code. When they get older (some even as young as their teen years) can start losing their hair or find their hair thinning. It cannot grow back–or needs medical assistance to do so.

Medications can also cause weak hair follicles. Stress is another big contributing factor. You need to know why you have it before it can be cured. Talk to your doctor about what is happening in your life.

Most men take baldness as just another part of getting older. Some men try to fight it by building their hair around the problem in a comb over. If you are balding, combing a few hairs over the problem will not trick anyone. It is better for your own emotional health to just admit that you are going bald and try to find better solutions if it bothers you that much.

Toupees are a safer, wiser route. If you buy a good toupee–one that is made of real hair–you can actually look as though it is your own. It needs to match your own remaining hair perfectly and you need to know how to properly apply it so it does not fall off. Another new development is follicle implant surgery where hair follicles are taken from another area of the body or from a donor and put on a man’s head where they can grow. It can be expensive.

Another common solution is a hair stimulating cream. There are endless hair growth products out there to jump start your follicles. Some work, most do not. If you speak to your doctor, he or she can have some good advice on this subject.
