On last week’s blog, we set out to answer the question: Is hair loss tougher and more difficult for men or women? Unsurprisingly, there is heated debate between the sexes, so we weren’t able to completely answer this complex question, hence, part 2.
In regards to hair loss, there’s little doubt the process is traumatic for men and women alike.
Noticing a receding hairline can be devastating, but knowledge is power.
Receding hairlines can affect men and women of all ages for different reasons. The most common cause for men is male pattern baldness, caused by genes that make the hair susceptible to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT makes hair follicles shrink, leading to hair loss. Women can also experience receding hairlines but more often, female hair loss is diffuse. It can be related to DHT, but it’s typically a result of lowered estrogen levels with menopause.
It’s disconcerting to suddenly notice extra hairs in your hands, your hairbrush, inside your hat or even on your pillow. It’s even worse to see visibly thinner hair or even bald spots on top of your head, but there could be a number of reasons why you’re noticing hair loss, so it’s important to remain calm before jumping to any conclusions.
Big and bold brows can give great shape to your face. The last thing you want is to see your eyebrow hairs start falling out. Unfortunately, you can experience eyebrow loss just like you experience hair loss. It’s important to understand what is causing your eyebrows to shed so that you can work on stopping the hair loss and promoting hair growth. Here are the most common causes of eyebrow loss.
Science has revealed that beards can make you look more attractive and masculine. But is dealing with an itchy, full beard really worth it during the hot summer months? Since we’re big fans of beards here, we’re a little bias. The answer really is up to you. If you know how to take care of your beard during the summer, it shouldn’t bother you very much. Here’s our guide to surviving summer with a beard.
When you think of hair loss, men usually come to mind. You don’t see a lot of women walking around with receding hairlines or shaved heads as a result of hair loss. However, nearly 40% of women experience some form of hair loss by age 60. This hair loss is usually triggered by every woman’s favorite period of life: menopause. Since it’s a lot less socially acceptable for women to show signs of hair loss, balding can be emotionally devastating for many women.
By now, you’d have to be living under a rock not to know the dangers of smoking cigarettes. But what about e-cigarettes? Though they are commonly said to be safer than cigarettes, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found nicotine and cancer-causing substances (carcinogens) in two popular brands of electronic cigarettes. Even more interesting and less talked about, the common chemicals found in both cigarettes and e-cigarettes could be linked to hair loss and balding.
