Male pattern baldness is deemed unnecessary and not welcomed by men. These may be due to the influence of myths on the subject of baldness. Here are some of the myths in baldness.

Psychological problems may cause baldness. This is sometimes used as a typecast in films where the disturbed characters are most likely to have been portrayed by unattractive, distasteful and usually bald men.

Emotional stress and sexual frustration are considered causes of baldness. Sleep deprivation caused by stress may be considered one of the many causes of male pattern baldness but the reason of hair loss by some other method is not clear

Pigeon droppings can cure baldness. This baldness cure from the mystical bird was administered by Cleopatra to her boyfriend Mark Anthony but unfortunately this did not work.

Goat urine can also cure baldness. Again, no scientific evidence.

Use of hair dryer can cause hair loss. Frequent use of hair dryer may trigger falling of hair thus make the hair thinner. Shedding of 100 hairs a day is still considered normal though.

Electro-shock treatment to increase blood circulation to the scalp is the best way to treat male pattern hair loss. This has no evidence or scientific back-up.

Baldness can only affect men who are in their 40's. The truth is, symptoms of male pattern baldness like a receding hairline or thinning of hair may start to appear in men in their 20's. This is especially true if it is hereditary.

There is a definite cure for baldness but hair replacement is not one of them. The fact is, baldness may be slowed down by medications and may be disguised by hair replacements or hair transplants.

All these myths are considered such because there are no scientific proofs. If these myths are popular in our place, better conceal your baldness with hair replacement to stop these issues thrown at you that are not even real.
