The Lion’s Mane

Sir, my age is about 23 years i am the student of information technology where hairs are the main part of human personality which make a man live and active every here. when ever i use to set with my friends and compare my hair i feel some shame. My hair are falling with a big speed what should i do.

I use the metaphor that hair to men is like the ‘lion’s mane’ is to a lion. It is what creates his majestic look. You are like the lion, and are confronting a real problem- that your age and your hair do not conform with the overall image that the world expects. At your age, I understand that confidence in your appearance does count for your ability to feel comfortable with others. The shame you feel is clearly not of your making but you feel it nevertheless. None of these feelings are abnormal behavior and I have seen it in many men of all ages-from all walks of life. No one wants to look old and our society has been less than fair to the balding men out there, many times cruel.

There is good news for people with hair loss. The drug Propecia can slow, stop or possibly reverse hair loss in young men and it has been on the market for 8 years with good results reported by millions of men. I would advise you to seek out a competent doctor in this field (your dermatologist or family practitioner), then seek his advice. I am certain that this drug will help most young men with hair loss, but you need a diagnosis and you need a doctor to manage you. If you are in California or New York, you can make an appointment with me or one of my associates (see newhair.com) or if you are not near by, visit ISHRS.org where other doctors who focus on this field can be found in your area.

Most 23 year olds are not good candidates for hair transplants for it may be too early, but the future is bright. Good luck.
