Bald man

The trend for bald men emerged in the 1970s when scientists discovered that bald men have higher testosterone levels. Additionally, in the 1990s, researchers identified an evolutionary advantage to baldness.

"Baldness also occurs in chimpanzees and gorillas, if they are very aggressive and active. It became clear that hair reduction on the head was nothing more than an adaptive response in the animal kingdom among male primates to help them win fights," Psychologist Andrey Zberovsky said, 360.ru publication reports.

Men's style expert Yevgeny Tuayev added that bald men tend to take better care of themselves. They use moisturizing masks, apply SPF creams, and visit tanning salons.

Details

Hair loss also known as alopecia or baldness, refers to a loss of hair from part of the head or body. Typically at least the head is involved. The severity of hair loss can vary from a small area to the entire body. Inflammation or scarring is not usually present. Hair loss in some people causes psychological distress. Common types include male- or female-pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, and a thinning of hair known as telogen effluvium. The cause of male-pattern hair loss is a combination of genetics and male hormones; the cause of female pattern hair loss is unclear; the cause of alopecia areata is autoimmune; and the cause of telogen effluvium is typically a physically or psychologically stressful event. Telogen effluvium is very common following pregnancy.
