10 Things a man has to go through when his hair starts falling

Almost every man will suffer through hair loss at some point in their life, and if you are reading this, then there is a good chance it is happening to you. Losing hair is no joke. It can potentially lead to a number of emotions that can disturb a person’s state of mind and well being. People will try out all sorts of treatments for hair loss without trying to find out about the root cause of their hair loss. Hair loss in men can be caused due to a number of reasons.

Understanding the cause of hair loss is crucial to its treatment. Following are some of the factors that can lead to hair loss:

Genetic predisposition

Genetic Predisposition

Men are much more likely to lose their hair due to DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). DHT leads to gradual thinning of hair follicles, which leads to hair fall. This process of thinning of hair and eventual hair fall is called male pattern baldness.


Autoimmune diseases

There are many autoimmune diseases like Alopecia that can lead to hair loss. Alopecia, in particular, can result in unpredictable bald patches on the body.

Autoimmune diseases

Infectious disease

Infectious disease

Fungal infections like psoriasis may lead to hair loss. Sexually transmitted diseases like HPV and syphilis may also cause symptoms like hair loss.


Poor Diet

Diet plays in almost every bodily function. Consuming unhealthy meals instead of nutritious/balanced meals will lead to skin problems, hair loss, obesity, etc.

Poor Diet

Restrictive hairstyles

Restrictive hairstyles

Your hairstyle may also dictate over hair well being. Overly restrictive hairstyles like a tight pony or dreadlocks will lead to hair loss.

Male pattern baldness is one of the leading causes of hair loss in men. It has many types, which range from receding hairline to gradual hair fall and inevitable baldness if left untreated.

Regardless of the cause of hair loss, there are some phases that a man will go through after he finds out that he is starting to lose his hair. The phases range from the sudden realization of hair loss, denies that it is even there, and eventually coming to terms with it.

1) Denial: The first phase of hair loss a man goes through is when he starts to realize the issue. But instead of addressing it, most people would rather ignore its mere existence.

2) Some more denial: After denying the existence of hair loss people start to think of it as something that will sort itself out in the near future. This stage of denial and carelessness will only lead to the progression of hair loss.

3) Comparing hair with other people: There comes a time when a person starts to compare his hairline or hairstyle with other people and looks for flaws in almost anyone but himself.

4) Looking for other balding men: After losing considerable amounts of hair, men start to familiarise themselves with hair loss by looking and comparing their case with other balding men.

5) Finally realizing hair loss: After countless sessions of closely monitoring the receding hairline, a man finally realizes that he is losing his hair and needs to do something about it.

6) Stressing about hair loss: The realization of hair loss is not something that people can get over quickly. Stress from hair loss is one common issue that men go through.

7) Feeling self-conscious: Losing hair is a tough thing, and will make people feel that they aren’t looking good, or that the only thing people can see is the balding part of your head.

8) Hiding hair loss: Changing hairstyles to hide the balding areas or trying on new looks is a normal part of losing hair. People will try almost every measure to best cover up the balding spots.

09) Trying any and every hair loss solution: Once the desperation sets in, people try out all sorts of things to curb their hair loss.

10) Finally getting some specialised expert medical help: People often take time to realize that a proper medical referral is the only viable course of action that can lead to proper hair growth, but as the saying goes, better late than never.

Hair regrowth for men will ultimately depend on the cause of hair loss. If you think that you are experiencing some signs of initial hair loss, then the first thing you can do is change your dietary habits. Consuming a diet full of fruits and other whole foods, rich in micronutrients, will help you to improve the condition of your hair better than any medicine ever could. In case you are suffering from any of the above diseases, then a proper medical diagnosis, followed by proper medical treatment is the best route.

I am honestly thankful to Advanced Hair Studios. I suffer from a hair-pulling disorder. There is this constant urge to pull off your hair follicles. It is painless when you pull but extremely painful when you see a missing patch on your scalp. But, I feel blessed with AHS hair fall treatment. I can see baby hair growing. It’s been two weeks. All I can see is low hair fall.

I have done my hair transplant surgery in AHS Delhi Branch on 2019 by travelling to Delhi from Dhaka, Bangladesh. The front and the back portion of my head were bald and through the hair transplant surgery, they have managed to cover the front portion of my head and the former appearance of my face returned back. The way they collected hairs from the donor portion did not affect my donor area at all. I am quite happy with my result. I have been consulting with them for a second seating so that they can cover the back portion of my head as well so that the hair density on top will increase and the bald portion of my head will reduce to a minimum level.
