Is it fair that women are allowed to cover their bald heads while men are not?

Posted on January 22, 2012 by No More Hair Loss

I work at a library where my superiors have told me that it is unprofessional to wear a hat while on the job. The reason I do this is that I have lost a lot of my hair (due to "male pattern baldness") and I look really scary. I mean, it’s not like I am afraid to be seen in this condition, it’s just that I look more presentable if I cover my rather large, round, bare head while working with the public. I have complained to my labor union and explained to the Library Director that I think it’s unfair that a woman who has a loss of hair due to cancer treatments can cover her head (for the sake of vanity), and I’m not allowed to do the same thing (for the sake of vanity, in a sense). I think this is completely unfair. What do YOU think?

      Does weight loss improve or get rid of excess body/facial hair on women?

      Posted on January 2, 2012 by No More Hair Loss

      Im 21 and have coarse dark hair on my face, (chin, upper lip, jawline ETC) which i keep under control by plucking every day and bleaching every three or four days, which is pain full and so time consuming! I also have dark thick hair all over my stomach, legs, thighs, pubic area, chest, back and arms, which i just shave.
      i have been tested for PCOS and i do not have it, my testosterone levels are apparently normal, when i asked my doctor about any ways to treat it, i was told many women live with this, and that basically i just need to deal with it. I have spoke to my mother and aunts about this and they are all under the impression it will go away if i loose weight. Im 5 foot 10, around 20/21 st, have an "apple" body shape, and im a uk dress size 24/26. As you can imagine my appearance is already unfortunate enough without the added hairiness. im about to start a diet/excersise regime but i just wanted to know if there is anyone else who is in, or knows someone in this position. I would hate to discover in a years time when hopefully ill have lost the weight that it indeed does not affect the issue and i could have done something else to treat the hairiness a long time ago. i dont want to feel helpless anymore! I am ruining my skin by all the plucking and stabbing at myself, and using the bleach even if it stings my face and turns me raw red its better than facing the world looking like a man in drag.
      P.S: i do not have the money for electrolysis and laser isnt an option because i would not be able to deal with not bleaching my hair between treatments.
      thanks for reading!

        have you heard of this for hair growth, and find the studies?

        Posted on September 13, 2011 by No More Hair Loss

        Procyanidins in Apple Skin

        Procyanidin therapy shows promise as a potential cure for male pattern baldness as was supported by a 12 month study. Seven different published studies now confirm the profound hair-growth promoting effects of apple procyanidins. In tests on human hair cells, apple chemicals proved twice as effective as minoxidil to promote hair growth. The apple extracts were also clearly superior to less potent grape and grape seed extracts.

        The richest known source of procyanidin B-2 are the skins of immature (baby) green apples. Polyphenols from apples have an astonishing range of health effects, and may be nature’s perfect antioxidant. Many people taking apple procyanidins in pill form notice faster hair growth, stronger fingernails, and softer, smoother skin.

        In every study, apple procyanidins have proven safe for humans and animals. There is apparently no toxicity, no irritation, and no side effects. This natural hair loss remedy may be nature’s best option for millions of people who suffer from thinning hair, falling hair, and male pattern baldness.

        thanks.

          How do you deal with hating how you look?

          Posted on September 11, 2011 by No More Hair Loss

          PLEASE READ the whole question before answering. I know I can’t change a lot of the things I dislike about how I look. I’m 6’3" and I don’t like being taller than everyone else – I’m not saying I look freakish, but people do notice. I hate the fact that I’m not a skinny or small-built guy…I have broad shoulders and it’s not uncommon to have someone ask if I played football or to refer to me as "big man" (usually bums who want money). I also started losing my hair at age 17 (I’m 31 now).

          I’m aware that lots of guys want to be taller and that some women like bigger men; that doesn’t matter to me. I’ve always had my own opinions, and anyway, plenty of guys like fat girls, and you still see them dying to be thin. Also, I’m aware that some girls are actually into bald guys, but I can’t think of any bald icons that weren’t either oafish action heroes (Vin Diesel) or old men (Connery, Stewart). I have no desire to look like some gruff, no-nonsense cop or military man.

          So, I don’t like these attributes and I don’t like being seen as the big protective or "teddy bear" type, but I’m stuck with it. How do I deal with it?

          I’m an atheist, so please don’t tell me to "pray" on this one. Also, while looks aren’t everything, they are important, especially when dating, so please don’t tell me that only "shallow" people care about looks or about how "the right girl" won’t care what I look like. I’m also not going to keep "telling myself" that being big and bald is a great thing…it’s pretty hard to con yourself into believing something you know isn’t true (at least to me). Finally, I had several hair transplants…it gave me thin hair in front, so I’m basically forced to shave my head now.
          Bree – The problem is, whenever a big bald guy feels bad about his looks, people tell him to "embrace it", which means be proud to be tall, broad shouldered, etc. The problem with that is 1) I don’t really see what’s so attractive about it, and 2) I don’t see any reason to embrace some dumb tough guy/protector persona in this day and age.

                Taylor – The thing is, I don’t want a girl who wants a tall, big guy, much less a bald one.
