Research shows<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bodyandsoul.com.au\/beauty\/mens-style\/male-baldness-breakthrough\/news-story\/c0b545e646cf9c93cfcca3a764f09af4\"> bald men<\/a> are perceived as more<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bodyandsoul.com.au\/sex-relationships\/sex\/how-to-boost-his-confidence\/news-story\/b273e817d307f6fb15e353ef90d9874d\"> confident<\/a>, attractive and dominant than their follicularly endowed peers, with studies from the University of Pennsylvania finding they were also seen as stronger and taller than their hairy counterparts. (Excellent news if you\u2019re a British prince.)<\/p>\n<p>Pattern balding is, for the majority of men, an inevitable part of ageing \u2013 whether you\u2019re a commoner or royalty \u2013 with up to 90 per cent experiencing genetic hair loss by age 80.<\/p>\n<p>As Statham et al prove, thinning is nothing to be ashamed of, but for the increasing number of teens and 20-somethings shopping for regrowth solutions, it can be traumatic.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>The Expert says<\/h2>\n<p>Anthony Pearce, a specialist integrative medicine trichologist, sees boys as young as 16 in his clinic. \u201cThe parents are blaming themselves, and their son is having an emotional breakdown because he\u2019s already starting to lose his hair,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Trichologists around the globe report this scenario is becoming more common, with studies now affirming men are going bald sooner \u2013 and that genes aren\u2019t wholly to blame.<\/p>\n<p>Genetics do play a major part, notes Chelcey Salinger from the Australian Trichology Centre, but male hormones, inflammation and oxidative stress are also factors. \u201cThe link between genetic hair loss, hypertension, high blood glucose levels and coronary heart disease is now well established,\u201d says Salinger, adding that the major contributor factor is \u201cinflammation caused by the intake of refined sugars\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A 2023 study by Beijing\u2019s Tsinghua University of 1000 men aged 18 to 45 showed those whose diets were high in sugary fizzy drinks were more than three times more likely to present with pattern loss than those who abstained. \u201cFructose increases free radicals which, in turn, causes the inflammation,\u201d explains Salinger, which can lead to reduced hair growth. Oh.<\/p>\n<p>With inadequate sleep and exposure to environmental toxins also contributors, swapping Saturday night pub crawls and vape sessions for Sunday morning runs may also keep hairlines from marching backwards. \u201cLifestyle can affect melatonin and growth hormone levels, which impact hair health,\u201d adds Pearce.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This article first appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodyandsoul.com.au\/\">www.bodyandsoul.com.au<\/a>, and may contain links from their affiliate and advertising partners.
