Top 10 Balding Myths

There are many rumors about male pattern baldness that aren't completely accurate. Below are the top 10 myths about balding. http://www.askmen.com/top_10/fitness/top-10-balding-myths.html

 10. Balding only happens to older men:

Young men cling to this idea, however male pattern baldness can happen in a young man’s teens. It's been said that the earlier on it happens, the more severe it gets later on.

9. It's inherited from mom’s side:

Wrong. It can come from either side of the family.

8. Excessive use of gel and hairspray can cause balding:

No evidence supports this theory. Gel on!

7.  Cutting your hair can result in thicker hair:

It’s just an illusion due to having a thicker circumference of hair at the scalp.

6. Tanning beds can contribute to balding:

It can contribute to many other problems, but not balding.

5.  You can grow new hair follicles:

The number of hair follicles you were born with is all you get. You can only increase that number by way of, what else, transplantation, which is considered just one of a few permanent solutions for hair loss.

4.  Stress can lead to balding:

Not balding, but different stages of hair loss depending on the person.

3.  Too much shampooing can cause balding:

Can’t be proven or disproven. Shampooing daily really depends on your hair type and personal preference to wash it or not.

2. With high testosterone comes balding:

The overproduction of dihydrotestosterone or DHT, can be a possibility for male pattern baldness.

1. Evil hats can make you go bald:

Not even a little. If it did, everyone in the Major Leagues would be bald.
