The stats are pretty serious. According to the American Hair Loss Association, two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of hair loss in their lifetime, with 85% of men “significantly thinning” by the age of 50. And nearly 25% of men start losing hair before they reach the age of 21. Which means this is a nearly universal experience, but it doesn't make it any easier.

Many people feel that a retreating hairline often contributes to a man looking older. This seemingly small change can cause a dramatic loss in confidence and lead to deeper mental health issues. Researchers have found that hair loss can lead to a general feeling of being unattractive and even, in some extreme cases, it can lead to a body dysmorphic disorder where a person has overwhelming anxiety about their looks. Another study found that hair loss directly affects symptoms of depression, such as loss of self-confidence, low self-esteem and heightened self-consciousness. When this happens, nearly every aspect of your personal and professional life is touched. And much of the anxiety revolves around feeling powerless. But there are ways you can take control of the situation.
