Earlier, the terms such as ‘self-care’ & ‘grooming’ were predominantly focused on women. Men are equally a part of it, as they are also equally conscious about their appearance. Today, we are diving into a topic that has gained increasing importance in recent years - haircare for men. Gone is the time when haircare was contemplated solely as concern for women. In today's society, men are placing greater emphasis on their appearance, and their hair is no exception. Men are also concerned about their hair growth.

A well-maintained head of hair can boost confidence and self-esteem. As per a recent study, about 60% of women and more than 80% of men struggle with hair fall issues at some point in their life. Hair fall is common both in men and women, but they tend to lose their hair in different ways. When it comes to haircare for men, the most common question that pops up into the mind is - how to stop balding? In this blog we will explore the different aspects of hair care issues in men and how to deal with it.

Why Are Hair Care Issues Different For Men And Women?

Hair Care Issues

As per the stats, around 75% of men and 45% of women experience permanent hair fall in their lifetime. The hair loss in men is more noticeable than women because of the condition called androgenic alopecia. This condition is more common in men. Androgenic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness, is a genetically inherited condition that typically starts with hair loss at the temples and a receding hairline in the characteristic "M" shape. Hair loss at the crown is also common. This condition is caused by an increase in androgen receptors in the hair follicles, which are activated by androgens like dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a derivative of testosterone that damages the hair follicles, hampering the normal growth of hair. Due to the increase in the level of testosterone in the body, they are more likely to produce DHT and thus more susceptible to hair loss compared to women, who do not possess a similar genetic predisposition. Nowadays,most of the shampoos, conditioners and hair growth oil for men contain DHT blockers to curb hair fall.

The main cause of permanent hair fall in women may be due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, childbirth or due to menopause. Any underlying medical condition can also be the reason for hair loss in women.

Why & How Should Men Pay Attention To Haircare?

Your skin demands constant attention, be it your facial skin or your scalp. Not just women, haircare is equally important for men. Mens hair is no different from women's, so the basic rules of haircare remain the same for both genders. Men usually complain about the receeding hair line, which if ignored can lead to balding. Now, how to stop balding? The answer is : having a customized haircare regime in place, and being consistent with it, nipping the problem at its bud. Haircare plays a vital role in the personal grooming and hygiene of men.

Hair Grooming
