Your hairstyle often announces you…for some it often symbolizes who they are.

For men, losing their hair from a genetic cause can be the most emasculating occurrence they will suffer through. Regardless of how the baldness occurs, slowly starting with a receding hair line or rapidly falling out in chunks, dealing with male pattern baldness is not easy for everyone. I was surprised at how many men suffer from depression or have grave concerns over male pattern baldness.

Some men choose to turn to artificial means of preserving what little hair they have left through costly hair pieces, while others are willing to suffer through painful and expensive hair plugs that can cause permanent scarring.

Suffering from hair loss can often take you through the same stages of divorce – Anger, Denial, Bargaining, Depression and finally Acceptance. In the end, your still left with a bald head…a rather beautiful bald head.

Male pattern baldness is not the end of the world, going through and taking it all off with a razor often lifts the spirit and gives you a new attitude along with a new look.

Michael Jordan took the bald head to new heights with the black guys, while Bruce Willis played it well for the white guys and Vin Diesel came in and made it official for the tough guys.

So for all those who are struggling with the effects of male pattern baldness, don’t get to down. Pick up a razor and shave all those fears and negative thoughts away. After a few weeks, your confidence in your new found look will be one of gratitude and style.

Game over, keep it low and clean.
