- Do you know the difference between baldness at the age of 20 and baldness at the age of 45?
- If you start bald after the age of 45, then you are still an elegant man, your baldness is justified and righteous.
- But you start to be bald at the age of 20, you are just a sneaky villain.
A while ago, I saw a bottle of hair growth on his desk and asked him jokingly, why did he lose his hair at such a young age?
As a result, his mood suddenly became much lower and he began to cry and said that he was under a lot of pressure recently and that he would lose a lot of hair every day when washing his hair.
After only two years in college, his hair fell faster than in high school, and he claimed to be a "bald twilight boy."
01 Why do some people get bald while smiling
Dr.X has always liked Xu Zheng. His humor and elegance are simply the benchmark for middle-aged men.
When I watched "The Life of Longing for" before, a clip of Xu Zheng caused a lot of hilariousness.
But Dr.X couldn't laugh, and even felt a little sad. I remember that on a show, Xu Zheng talked about his experience of baldness when he was young.
He has had black hair since he was a child. Maybe you didn’t expect that Xu Zheng had worked as a hair model at that time. Just in his sophomore year, he began to lose his hair wildly. The sentence at the beginning of the article was used by Xu Zheng to describe his poor mental state at that time.
It's okay, those unbearable pasts, the tears and sadness that were swallowed silently, were still said with a smile one day.
Believe in you in front of the screen. When the word "hair volume" is mentioned, some familiar faces have already appeared in your mind:
Yang Mi, as a textbook-level figure in the bald world, has become recognized by the industry, so that she will appear in every topic about hair volume.
52-year-old Jiao Enjun is a childhood male god for many people. She is as beautiful as a picture when wearing ancient costumes, and wearing modern costumes is also a completely beautiful man himself.
However, no matter how handsome the male god is, he still fights against hair loss, and he can only sigh that his hairline never bypasses anyone.

The second half of 2019 was really disappointing. Someone said online that the first order for Double Eleven was actually an anti-detachment product.
When your hair falls at a speed of 5 cm in seconds, your youth and appearance will also leave. Even if you use boxes after boxes of shampoo for preventing hair removal, you just mispaid a piece of infatuation and RMB.
02 Why are you so young and bald?
According to statistics, about 30% of white men will have androgenetic alopecia (AGA) before the age of 30. In my country, it is estimated that the number of patients exceeds 100 million, and the incidence rate in men is 21.3%.
World Health Organization data shows that on average, 1 in every 5 people has symptoms of hair loss, and hair loss before the age of 30 is as high as 84%. Hair loss has shown a trend of younger age, and some patients' hairlines have been "completely lost" during adolescence! And autumn and winter are even more of a "high-removal" season.
Hair loss is a hidden pain for modern people. The money spent on baldness in the world reached 3.5 billion US dollars, far exceeding the national budget of Macedonia.
Dr.X always feels that this is God’s experience of hair loss patients, which allows them to encounter this disaster at a young age. They can achieve great enlightenment as soon as possible, and forget about the world and become monks or programmers.
gets back to the topic, why do you get hair loss? Why does hair loss show a trend of youth?
Chinese epidemiological survey shows that 53.3% to 63.9% of male androgenic hair loss patients are genetically manipulated.
What determines that we are bald is a powerful testosterone decomposition: dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT can shorten the hair growth cycle and will fall off before it is long enough, which means you are bald.
Some boys carry genes that are abnormally sensitive to androgens. The hair follicles on their heads are more susceptible to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which means that when the testosterone levels rise, it also means that these boys have opened the curtain of baldness since then.
The situation in Chinese women will be better. The survey shows that the prevalence of androgenic hair loss in women is only 6.0%. Most women's hair gradually becomes thinner from the top of their heads, so there is no worry about rising hairline.
There is also a sudden "ghost shaving" that always catches people off guard. We call it alopecia areata . The causes of alopecia areata are very mysterious. The known causes are immune mechanisms, neuropsychiatric factors, malnutrition, local microcirculation disorders, family genetic factors...
03 Modern people's hair loss grade comparison table
Normal people have about 100,000 hairs, and losing hair between 100-150 hairs every day is actually a normal physiological phenomenon. But if you lose more than 150 hairs a day for two consecutive months, you need to be vigilant. The following hair loss level comparison table may be useful to you.
- 1: normal hairline or mild backward shift
- 2: the frontal and temporal hairline is triangular and backward shift, reaching 2 cm from the external auditory canal connection
- 3: the frontal and temporal hairline is obviously backward shift, exceeding 2 cm from the external auditory canal connection
- 4: the top of the head begins to fall off and the middle hairline is retracted
- 5: the forehead is larger diffuse hair loss or baldness
- 6: the side and back hair loss areas are significantly increased
- 7: hair loss around the ear and occipital area
1 basically don’t worry; grade 2-5 is mild or moderate hair loss, and there is still a possibility of recovery at this time; grade 6 or above is severe hair loss, and even treatment may be difficult to satisfy.
04 Self-test guide for hair loss
For so many years, I never thought I would take the path of self-testing whether I was bald. It may be more cruel for most people to self-test whether to lose hair, but timely self-test and timely discover problems is the key to preventing hair loss.
1. Is there a sudden round bald block on the head
If it occurs, it may be neurologic alopecia. Generally, it is caused by mental stress and excessive stress, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.
2. Is the scalp itchy, whether the dandruff suddenly increases
If it appears, it is recommended to increase the frequency of hair cleaning and choose a shampoo suitable for your hair. If it persists for a while, it is recommended to go to the dermatology department for treatment.
3. Without the above symptoms, you suddenly lose your hair
If this happens and you are a middle-aged man, then this is a natural phenomenon caused by age. If you are a young man and have elders at home with hair loss, it may be hereditary hair loss. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.
05 Your hair loss is also saved
There is a lot of knowledge about small hair loss, and different types of hair loss are actually completely different in terms of treatment methods. If you don’t want to go to the hospital for treatment, then you should pay attention to hair care from the beginning. Next, Dr.X will teach you a few tricks to resolve the "crisis on the head"!
1. Improve sleep quality
People with poor sleep quality are more likely to lose their hair. It is best for adults to sleep 6-8 hours a day, so don’t ignore their hair and go overtime.
2. Avoid using the computer for a long time
for a long time, your attention will be highly concentrated and your mind will be tense, which will cause endocrine dysfunction and lead to hair loss.
3. Moderate shampoo frequency
It is not good to have a shampoo frequency too high or too low, and it is generally best once every two days.
4. Try not to perm or dye your hair
Many people may often dye their hair for the sake of their image. This is actually not advisable and will destroy the luster and elasticity of their hair.
5. Smoking quit
Many studies have shown that smokers have higher risk of hair loss than non-smokers. Because smoking can cause the scalp to contract, which will affect the normal growth of hair.
6. Balanced nutrition
Balanced nutrition helps hair growth, and ingesting high-protein foods and vegetables and fruits helps hair growth.
I remember Xu Zheng later said on the show: Once, a gust of wind blew off my hat and my hair was exposed. The elder brother next to me was scared to death. I could only pretend to be calm and pick up the hat, but in fact I was already broken inside.
Xu Zheng is 46 years old this year, and he still remembers all the experiences he had when he was 20 years old. But he could say those sadness with a smile at this moment, which means that he has become stronger and can only let go of the past with peace of mind.
Dr.X wants to express not only that we should cherish our hair, but also that we should treat people who are troubled by hair loss with gentleness.
also hopes that everyone in the dilemma of hair loss can take it seriously, adjust their mentality, and actively treat it.
In those days that make you uneasy and anxious, try to see yourself as a seed waiting to sprout and work hard to grow in the dark. When you break through the ground, you will eventually bloom in the sun!
Dr.X said:
In life, we should still pay attention to hair care. Once hair loss is found, we should check the causes and improve living habits in a timely manner. If you really need to seek medical treatment, don’t be lazy and hesitate!
