Adapting to Hair Loss

     Going from having a full head of hair to balding or bald, is quite a significant life change. The degree and time for each person differ. Some folks are lucky to not have to worry about this for ever, but many people must go through it no matter what. I have not yet met someone who said "See, I am so bald now, and I am enjoying it so much" If you do, please let me know, and I will learn a lesson in human psychology. Some people just let it slide, while many more try desperately to reverse or disguise it.
My take is, most people would reverse it if they could. There are so many types of baldness I have seen, but I think the most common is male pattern baldness. The fancy name "alopecia" is used for this condition very often. Baldness has been attributed to the male hormone testosterone being converted to a derivate called DHT short for Dihydro-testosterone, which causes hair loss It is believed to be controlled by genetics, but who cares. Some form of baldness also occur in women.
    Attempts to combat baldness takes various form, but we all must admit that it is quite a change when your Rain Forest turns into a savannah grassland, and later an outright desert. It is believed that trying to combat baldness in the earlier stages is likely to produce more results than leaving it to progress to an advanced stage, which makes sense. However, depending on the size of your pocket, more desperate solutions do exist even at the advanced stage, like outright hair graft. To my mind, that will probably be embarrassing for someone who has been known and loved all the while as a bald person. Imaging someone you have known for a long time appearing after what seemed to be a vacation break( actually a hair transplant break), with a full head of hair. I will suggest moving to another part of the country after a hair transplant. :). Brief suggestion: maybe try a toupee
Maybe a slower hair-growth process may be great, but how? Many products are available, which many have used successfully to regrow hair, but they are supposed to be continued for life. If discontinued, the hair will stop growing or the grown hair gets lost again. I have also read about some natural solutions. Aloe has been touted as a natural alternative for hair regrowth, but it is not only messy, it colors the head kind of funny. Another simple natural alternative  I have read about is Apple Cider Vinegar. Many people swear by its efficacy. Coconut oil and blackstrap molasses have also been suggested extensively. There must be some truth to some of these, but results may depend on persistence and long term use. Definitely results will vary with individuals, even if these simple household materials work as reported. A trial will convince you.
Maybe it is not even worth all the trouble. The desire to try and bring your tuft back or not is a personal thing. Some changes are probably better embraced. Just a personal point of view.
