Let’s be honest with ourselves, there’s a lot of great things about getting older. Your career is starting to really take off, your investment portfolio is sat making a solid passive income and you have learned enough about yourself that you can truly start to choose how to spend your time on the things that really matter. Unfortunately, your body might not agree with that assessment. Your joints might not be as supple as they once were, your skin isn’t quite as taut as it was and then there’s the elephant in the bathroom mirror – your growing bald spot.
Why You Might Be Losing Hair
It’s amazing how much our hair (or lack thereof!) feeds into our physical self-esteem. Even though it’s relatively hidden, your bald spot can be a source of great stress and worry. It probably doesn’t help to know that hair loss affects around half of all men in their 40s. There’s a few common causes of hair loss that might be bringing you to check one of the best hair treatments Edmonton has to offer.
Genetics
The biggest cause of hair loss as men get into their 40s and 50s is simply your genetic heritage. You can work this out fairly quickly by looking at pictures of your male ancestors at your age and older. If they’ve gone full cappuccino monk in their hairstyle or you suspect they’re wearing an old school wig or toupee in the photos, it’s likely to happen to you.
Medical
Another leading cause of hair loss in older men are a wide variety of medical issues that can plague you as you hit your mid life stride. These include arthritis, gout, diabetes and high blood pressure, and there are medications for each of these that add hair loss as one of the potential side effects.
Stress
With great power comes great responsibility. What that adage misses is that with both great power and great responsibility comes great stress levels, and with high stress can come great hair loss. As your career grows and you gain more financial responsibilities, your body might react to the stress of this by losing its hair.
Old Wives Tales
It’s important to note a few misconceptions about hair loss before going much further. No, wearing a baseball cap all day doesn’t cause hair loss (but it can leave you with hat hair to deal with!). No, swimming in chlorinated water doesn’t make your hair fall out (but it does mean you’ll need a high quality conditioner to soften it afterwards!). And no, using a hair dryer doesn’t affect your follicles (but it can make your hair feel more brittle so be ready for some moisturizing products).
Getting Professional Help
With the exception of genetics, you’re left with a no-win choice. Do you keep taking the meds and keep the high stress job and just accept a growing bald spot, or prioritise your hair over your health and career, with no guarantee that genetics won’t bring you down? Fortunately, Edmonton Hair Restoration is the hair loss clinic with the solution: welcome gentlemen to the Ultragraft.
