Feeling confident comes from many different sources, which means building your confidence can come from many different steps. After all, it’s easy for someone to say “learn to love yourself”, or even “love your flaws” and to actually make that step.
In some cases, it’s not just about loving yourself, it’s about seeing how time marches on and takes things from us. While some are less obvious, like slight wrinkles or even a changing body shape, others are far more dramatic.
Hair loss, for example, can rip away someone’s confidence. The only option is to learn to love the bald look, learn not to care at all, or to do something about it.
Doing something is great for your confidence, because it puts you back into control over your own life. Whether that’s working to stop the thinning of your hair, reversing it, or jumping right into the bald man look. To help you understand your options, use these tips:
Natural (And Medical) Hair Loss Prevention
It’s always a good idea to start with natural methods to protect your hair and even reverse thinning. If you are losing hair due to stress, for example, then working on balancing yourself and building up a wellness routine can be just what you needed. Other natural remedies include using options such as:
• Aloe Vera
• Coconut oil
• Green tea
You can also turn to medicine. If your hair loss is just a symptom, then this is the only way to put a stop to the cause. Otherwise, there are several prescription medications you can take to help stop hair loss, though they won’t help you reverse what was lost. These include:
• Minoxidil (Rogaine)
• Finasteride (Propecia)
• Corticosteroids
Reversing What Was Lost
Unfortunately, there is no natural way to reverse hair loss. There isn’t even a pill you can take that will do the trick. If you do see hair return after either of those two, then your hair was falling out as a symptom, not due to genetics.
That means those that don’t see results need to get a hair transplant to return their hairline. With hair transplants, you have two main options. You can either opt for the direct hair transplant, of the follicular unit transplant. Both work very similarly, and both produce results. Their difference lies in how quick they are to do, and their cost.
If cost is a prohibiting factor for you, then look abroad. Going to a country like Turkey has become the go-to for many men, since getting the treatment done is significantly more affordable. It’s also very safe, with Turkey leading the hair transplant sector for years.
Embracing Baldness
Unless you truly do not care about your new hairline, then the only other option that will allow you to regain your confidence and sport a whole new you is to embrace your baldness. Going fully bald is a choice, and it can look great, too. It’s dramatic, easy to maintain, and actually helps you regain your youthful appearance. Your hair won’t fall out faster if you shave it all off, so if you are on the fence, try going bald, and if it doesn’t work for you, then go through other avenues.
Trying different styles out is essential, since it helps you stay in the driver’s seat of your own life.
