Myth 1: The hair loss is carried out in a random way.

Reality: False. Hair loss related to androgenic alopecia, the

most current baldness form, progresses in a foreseeable way.

Thus, women presents a general thinning on the top of the head,

while for men, edges moves away gradually from the face until

taking the shape of Mr. If baldness continues, hair on the top of

the head are also likely to fall.

Myth 2: Loosing hair can start at any age.

Reality: In general, hair loss starts only after puberty. For

men, 95% hair loss cases are ascribable to hereditary phenomenon

named " androgenic alopecia " or common baldness. At 50 years age,

half men present a certain degree of baldness. For woman, hair

loss, which is especially observed after the menopause, happen to

between 40 and 50% of women.

Myth 3: The men bald people are less virile.

Reality: Here is a myth that goes up to thousands of years.

Today, the industry continuously publicizes and entertains images

of men with hair as tempting, prosperous, strong and powerful.

Although there is not any scientific proof binding baldness and

virility, studies show that men bald people are generally less

satisfied with their appearance and have the impression to be

older than their age.

Myth 4: Hairs don't come back.

Reality: Hairs can grow again depending on what was the origin of

baldness. Generally, hairs grow again when hair loss subjacent

cause ends: life stressing event, disease like cancer or lupus,

recent surgery, infection, drug taking or drugs, deprives

nutritive or a too strict diet. However, androgenic alopecia must

quickly be treated. The earlier the hair loss is treated, the

better the chances of success.

Myth 5: Women do not lose their hair.

Reality: Women lose their hair in the same proportion as men, but

usually in a less significant way. Thus, when they reach the

menopause, between 40 and 50% present a certain degree of

baldness related to androgenic alopecia. Female baldness appears

especially on the top head and sides. Hair loss is more diffuse

and affects larger area than for men. As oppose to men, women

usually do not present empty plates but rather a thinning of the

whole hair. Although female baldness can occur as of puberty, it

usually appears after the menopause.

Myth 6: To have healthy hair, one must consume much protein.

Reality: Although it is made up primarily of proteins, the hair

requires, to be in good health, of the same report/ratio of

proteins, lipids (fat content), of carbohydrate (sugar), vitamins

and minerals that the remainder of the body. Diverse food

consumption in sufficient quantity is the key to keep itself in

good health and to have healthy appearance hair.

Myth 7: a) If my father loses many hairs, it will be the same for

me. Baldness is a genetic character transmitted by the mother.

Reality: It is true that the predisposition to baldness is

hereditary. However, one can inherit baldness from his father as

well as from his mother. It is generally believed that baldness

is associated with genes. Moreover, as baldness is a dominating

character, people who are born with those genes are likely to

present early or late baldness at a certain degree.

Myth 8: The fact of shaving and of cutting the hair has

consequences on the growth and the texture of the hair.

Reality: Research showed that none of these activities has effect

on the growth and texture of the hair.

Myth 9: All men expect to lose their hair and this is why

baldness does not disturb them.

Reality: Studies revealed that baldness can appear particularly

disconcerting for many men. Indeed, a great number of men bald

people are concerned by their condition and less at ease in their

relations with others and, consequently, feel depressed. Some

must even ask for the assistance of a professional to overcome

the psychological effects of baldness.

Myth 10: Nothing can be done against hair loss.

Reality: This assertion was true a few years ago. But much

progress was accomplished since the fight against baldness.

According to the importance of hair loss, a doctor can prescribe

different drugs to counter the problem.
