In either sex male or female, the hair and hair styling of the person are often a display of how the person sees him or her self. It is an expression of personality, attractiveness, and general image.

The effects of hair loss will often damage the self image the person carries and can have a very distressing outcome.

The degree of distress and worry resulting from hair loss is very much sex dependent. But on a general basis those people, especially males, who have a full head of hair, are seen as being virile, likeable and successful, yet people who have suffered natural hair loss are seen as being older and not so desirable. Paradoxically, such ‘balding’ people are often viewed as being wise, intelligent, and very conscientious.
