To an ordinary guy, his hair is his crown and glory.  What more to a male Hollywood celebrity whose bread and butter is his looks?  Unfortunately, 8 out of 10 men will suffer from varying degrees of baldness and being a celebrity does not exclude anyone from this predicament.

So how do stars deal with this? Short of doing drastic hair follicle replacements and surgeries or modern medications, here are a few trick that Hollywood stars use to make their heads look like “glamour” written all over it.

Toupees

Humphrey Bogart and Jimmy Stewart were known for having hairpieces especially made for them and styled for them.  Although this is the easiest and quickest remedy for baldness, it does have its consequences.  Aside from being expensive and would require frequent maintenance, hairpieces are known for having an “artificial look” when exposed to daylight.  It might look good on the cameras but it would make an ordinary Jow look ridiculous and would not be advisable for everyday use.  Not to mention, winds exceeding 10 mph would definitely blow everything away and reveal to the world your “secret.”

Hair extensions

Receding hairline is the most common pattern of baldness.  It is also the most difficult to hide.  What to do?  Make the most of what is left.  Attach artificial hair to your own hair.  Matthew McCounneghey, Brendan Frazier, and Ben Affleck are rumored to have utilized hair extensions in (or maybe even out) of the silver screen.  While hair extension do have a not-so-drastic approach and, by all means, can be an everyday remedy, like toupees, it still has an artificial look in it and would only work with today’s cinema magic.

Drastic Hairstyles

This is the most common remedy that celebrities do to address their baldness. While comb over style ala-Donald Trump works well for elderly celebrities (as well as for the common grandpas) it does seem kind of out-of-date and has the word “bald underneath” written all over it.   Fortunately, there are now modern hairstyles that would effectively hide, or at the very least, reduce the effect of baldness.  Jude Law noticeably has a receding hairline, but with the right haircut and proper styling, we could hardly notice it on the silver screen.

Shaving it all of

However, if styling or haircut does not work for you, going all out could be the only way. It’s easy to do for the stylist and easy to maintain for the person. Vin Diesel, Patrick Stewart, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson to name a few are perfect examples of celebrities who went all out when their balding patterns are no longer controllable.  Even with their crowns of, these celebrities still look dignified, attractive and retained the “glitter and glamour” celebrities are known for.

So take your pick; hair extension, new hairstyles, or going bald?  Whatever you chose, pick the one that would make you feel comfortable and confident about your self.

Don’t worry.  In this day and age, Bald is beautiful.

Commonly, men blame stress, side effects of medication, and serious diseases for their hair loss. However, the most possible cause of this problem is Androgenetic Alopecia or Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) which is primarily being inherited by the men involved. It compromises 95% of hair loss in men. Men who suffer under this trouble acquire hair follicles that are sensitive to dihydrotestoterone (DHT), which is a by-product of Testosterone. It changes to DHT with the support of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. The combination of these decreases hair follicles by reducing its lifespan and preventing it from producing good quality of hair.

There are two clinically proven treatments that are advised to be used by men with different degrees of hair loss. One is Finasteride, which is the generic name for Proscar and Propecia. It was made to treat enlarged prostate glands but scientists discovered that it has a side effect of hair growth. This is because it has the ability to reduce the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase which eventually does not become DHT. When taken daily, 1 mg dose of Finasteride can lessen the DHT levels in men’s scalp by 60%. Another solution is the application of Minoxidil in the bald part of their hair. It was originally made in tablet to cure high blood pressure. However, just like Finasteride, it has a side effect of hair growth to different unexpected parts. Because of this, scientists decided to make this to an ointment that can be applied to a specific part where hair growth is needed.

Because of the modern inventions, everything in this world will surely disappear slowly. Water evaporation can be prevented. Food can stay a little longer before it rots. Of course, everybody especially men can have their hair in their scalps as long as they want. Therefore, men need not be afraid of hair loss anymore.
