AlopeciaWhat you need to know:Fortunately, this condition is very rare in the young. But although men with a family history of male pattern baldness don’t usually start to lose their hair until they’re in their 20s, for some this process begins at a much younger age. Of course it can be distressing at a time when body image is so important, but don’t for goodness’ sake let them fall foul of older men’s obsession with hair loss and spend their money on expensive creams and treatments to stimulate growth.They don’t work and often result in a little flurry of ‘bum fluff’ on their heads, which disappears as soon as they stop treatment. They’d be better off looking at the swimmer Duncan Goodhew or at Yul Brynner or Sean Connery - all dead sexy with hardly a hair between them - or at David Beckham, who shaved off his hair to make a fashion statement. In fact, hormonal evidence suggests that balding men are sexier because of their excessive testosterone. It’s a very different story, of course, when hair loss is caused by chemotherapy, illness or pregnancy. In these cases, which almost certainly resolve themselves in time, the supplement Pill Food (as tablets, shampoo and conditioner) can speed recovery. These products are all available at good health food shops. Acupuncture may help stimulate hair growth in people who have alopecia areata or totalis. |
