Do People Actually Care About a Man’s Hairline?
Before I begin, I want to thank you for taking the time to answer all these questions. You and your staff are tremendous!
My question is what is/are the best hair products (etc. gel, mousse) to use after receiving a hair transplant over a year ago?
I have a receding hair and have trouble styling my hair so I ALWAYS wear a hat. I have no confidence in myself and extremely self-conscious about what others think. In your opinion and stories that you might have heard, do people, peers, or women actually notice or care about a man’s hairline?
Thank You!
I believe that most of the readers would answer your question with a strong YES — people do notice. Today, I met with two men separately (20 and 25 years old). The 20 year old man still had his juvenile hairline, but there is evidence that one one side is moving to a mature hairline. The 25 year old has lost his juvenile hairline and now has the leading edge about 1/4 inch above where it belongs. One side is slightly worse than the other side. Both men had strong family histories of balding and both were very handsome. They felt strongly that the changes that had started to see had impacted their self image. Both look, from a distance, to have a great head of hair and neither man had any see-through appearance.
I also met with a 83 year old who recently lost his wife to breast cancer. He started dating again and was concerned that his receded frontal hairline made him look older than he thought he should look like.
So do people notice or care? Absolutely!
As for the best hair products to use following a hair transplant — really, styling aides are best evaluated by trial and error or by your local hair stylist.
I think an important factor that wasn’t mentioned here would be that the people who do care, are the people suffering from it.
I wouldn’t be sure just how much anyone else would care about YOUR hairline, especially women.
Totally agree with you Xenyx. Most of women don’t even notice a receding hairline, or a mature hairline. They do that only if you tell them. So, don’t panic, if you are handsome, a receding hairline, or a mature one, will not change this. You are still a handsome guy.
That’s eay for you to say Claudiu, but even WITH hair, I am as ugly as a goblin…Now, with the hair going, it’s just getting worse – so yeah, you could say I care…
