For some men, the thought of getting bold is scarier than the thought of becoming impotent. The fear of balding is surprisingly strong, probably because we subconsciously associate our hair’s thickness with good level of sexual performance. And while impotence can be kept secret, baldness is rather difficult to hide.
Historians
say that Julius Caesar liked to wear his laurel wreath in all occasions mainly
because it efficiently concealed the bold spot on his head. And when Napoleon
Bonaparte met with the Russian emperor Alexander to discuss the future of
Europe, the meeting ended with a chat about anti-balding formulas.
Most balding
men are willing to try any medication that gives them even a glimpse of hope.
People, who otherwise have a lot of common sense and life experience, can be
fooled into relying vague promises and absurd-sounding methods.
A human
scalp sheds about 20 – 100 hairs a day. We find them on our comb, brush,
pillow, etc. this is no reason to worry because this kind of shedding is part
of a natural cycle. Every hair remains on our scalp for an average of four
years, growing at the rape of 1 – 1.5cm a month, and then retires fir about
three months and is replaced by a new hair.
