Myths About True Baldness

By: Cherry Bonachita

The most common form of baldness is known as the Male Patten Baldness also called Androgenic Alopecia. This condition usually occurs among adult male humans. It involves a state of lack of hair especially on the head. Hair replacement as simple as wearing a wig or toupee is considered one of the options in dealing this condition. Other hair replacement may be having a surgical procedure done or other medical treatments to stimulate the follicles of the hair so it would start growing again.

There is much folklore that pertains to the different causes of baldness. These are in relation to one’s intelligence, ethnicity, virility, wealth and social class. While cynicism is justified because of the lack of validation scientifically, some of these may have an amount of fundamental truth in them.

• Baldness is inherited from the father of your mother – research shows that the gene for the androgen receptor important in shaping the probability of hair loss is located on the X chromosome and there is a 50% chance that a person has the same X chromosome as their maternal grandfather. However, some research suggests that a person with a balding father may also have a greater chance of experiencing baldness.

• Psychological problems or excessive intellectual activity may cause baldness – there is a notion that bald men are more intelligent. Although this may not be altogether true, baldness may be linked to wisdom simply because men go bald as they advance in age and become more worldly and experienced.

• Emotional stress is considered a reason for baldness – it has been shown that emotional stress can accelerate baldness in genetically vulnerable individuals.

• Bald men are sexually active and more virile – levels of free testosterone are strongly linked to libido but hair loss and free testosterone weaken with age therefore a male’s hairline may be more indicative of their past rather than their present disposition.
