The request for this hub really grabbed me as I know a bit about losing hair, having hair issues myself, and... I'm married to a man who shaves his head completely.

One important thing to say to someone who is worried that they are "losing hair at an alarming rate" is that he or she should have a full physical check up. I know from experience that having your thyroid be out of whack can cause your hair to fall out by the handfuls. (mine does!!) If the thyroid gets treated, it will slow down if not completely stop the hair loss, so this is definitely something to look into.

Apart from that... the guy in question is worrying about being like everyone else. Yes, some people do judge bald guys, but there are a LOT of people, and women like me, who do not... and who in fact LIKE bald guys!

Things that I know for sure about bald/balding guys:

• They have higher levels of testosterone, so they are widely considered to be better ummm... intimate partners!
• Bald is sexy! Why else would so many men go ahead and shave it all off? Check out Timothy Olyphant in Hitman. If that's not sexy, I don't know what is.
• It is better to go with what you're given naturally than to try to hide it. Combovers etc. and bad toupees are just stupid.
• There ARE medical treatments which supposedly make a difference. Rogaine in particular is supposed to really work to help re-grow hair... but you have to use it indefinitely.
• There is always the choice of implants.

So, it's not like your guy doesn't have options, he does, but by far what is most attractive and most preferable is to learn to be comfortable in his own skin. That's what attracts women/people the most... not somenone who is in vain trying to be what they are not.

Also, it helps to try and put things in perspective. Yes, he may be losing hair, but there is probably a lot of things that are going in his favor. Does he have good health, in general? Can he walk, talk, run? Does he have good friends and family who care about him? Does he have a job?

Anyway, that's my .02 on the matter. This hub also includes some other resources that might be helpful to you or to him.

Bald is beautiful, baby. Embrace it, and all sorts of good things will follow!
