Can having long hair during teen years lead to baldness in men later in life?
by John
Hi, I am a 18 year old boy. I am growing my hair for the first time and it is just past shoulder length now. But recently I am having quite a problem with hair fall. Can this lead to baldness later in life? Can having long hair during teenage years lead to baldness in men later in life ? Should I continue to grow my hair? I don't want to cut my hair but I don't want to risk being bald as well. I'm really confused. Suggestions please? ************** There is no reason that growing your hair out during teen years causes baldness later in life. Most of the time, genetics are responsible for hair loss in men especially. Male Pattern Baldness is inherited from one generation to the next. Some of the most common other causes of hair loss are autoimmune disorders, hormonal changes, certain medications, and stress. If you are already noticing some hair fall, you may also be genetically disposed to hair loss. Take a look at your parents, grandparents and other family members hair, so you can discern if you are predisposed to Male Pattern Baldness. You can help boost your hair's capacity for hair growth by simply taking a biotin supplement. Taking Super Biotin daily (or at least a few times a week as I do) can help ensure proper hair growth! There are some other vitamins you might also need too so be sure to check out the other hair vitamins you might need to take. You can also gently massage your scalp when you're shampooing to stimulate circulation, which promotes hair growth also. Normally, most people shed around 50-100 hairs a day so keep that in mind. Losing your hair now may just be hormones changing in your young body, so there's no need to panic. When I was young, most of the guys I knew had long hair. It was a sign of the times but was very popular. Most women love men with longer hair, just as I do, so good luck! I'm sure it looks great! |
