HAIR RESTORATION AND MONEY

Saturday January 7, 2006 in: Hair Tag(s):

Sure using hair loss treatment to get that full head of hair might make you feel better, look younger, and give you more confidence.

But can it really make you more money?

Can the thickness of your scalp affect the thickness of your wallet?

According to many scientific studies, the answer is probably yes. Why that may be is difficult to say.

There are a variety of theories ranging from social to psychological factors that try to explain this phenomenon.

It can't be denied that many men feel 'inferior' when dealing with hair loss and that a comprehensive hair restoration program can give them more self-esteem.

This increased self-esteem can lead to enhanced career opportunities. Just ask Superman's archenemy Lex Luthor.

But what is interesting in these newest findings is that it isn't just how overall self-image relates to performance at work-it's actually the type of work itself that a hair loss patient chooses that determines their economic potential.

People dealing with hair loss are often embarrassed by their follicle condition and seek work environments where they can hide their hair loss.

This might mean a job that allows the wearing of a hat, such as a food service job or retail position, which may provide camouflage of the hair loss but not much in the way of economic prosperity.

Also it is not uncommon for straight- A students to drop out of college, as a result of embarrassment of the hair loss, and thereby directly affect their earning potential.
