Slick Baldness and its Effects

The effects of Slick Baldness on an individual can range from the social to the psychological. Though Baldness is itself not a disease, with no lasting medical effects from the condition other than hair loss, any sufferer of Slick Baldness can attest there is more to lose than just your hair.

Studies have shown that men who are bald tend to earn less than men who have a full head of hair. And whether because of diminished self-esteem or outward perception, patients afflicted with pattern baldness contend that they have a more difficult time meeting people both socially and on a romantic basis after the onset of baldness than they did before.

And it isn’t just men who deal with this condition; women can also suffer from the social stigma of hair loss. Female Pattern Baldness can leave a woman feeling ostracized from society and wishing not to socialize with others. Much of the data collected regarding female hair loss is difficult to acquire as most women vigorously attempt to hide their own hair loss.

Cleopatra was so desperate to assuage the negative effect of slick baldness on her boyfriend Mark Antony that she is reported to have spread a salve of pigeon droppings across his scalp. Luckily, this is no longer a required treatment to deal with the effects of hair loss. Today the sufferer of hair loss can turn to prescription medications such as Rogaine and Propecia to stem the rate of hair loss and in some instances actually encourage new hair growth.
