The reason I have called this article overcoming male hairloss is that hairloss in women is becoming ever more popular.

This article specifically concentrates on how to overcome confidence problems from a male point of view.

I will be putting together specific articles for all you ladies out there who suffer the same problem.

So, with that out of the way - let's get on!

Losing your hair from a male point of view can be a very stressful and soul destroying time.

Men can lose all their feelings of self worth and confidence, and when this happens they all too often take a back seat in life.

I only know too well, from first hand experience, what it is like to lose your hair and whilst everyone has good intentions when they tell you to "Don't worry about it" and "You do look good anyway" it really doesn't cut any ice.

Sound familiar?

The problem with those gestures is that they give you no practical advice whatsoever!

These people are not in your position and they haven't got the problem!

Let me tell you now that I have been in your position and I have come out the other end when I thought that all was lost.

You just ask my parents about the note I sent them once. The note that said that my life wasn't worth living, the note that said without hair I was nothing.

10 years on, look at me today.

I am completely bald and I absolutely love it, the best thing I have ever done in my life was to shave all of my hair off, accept myself for what I was and live life on the front foot.

You see, by overcoming my immense hair loss worries I used this to get over any difficult situations I have had to face in my life since.

I have used the experience as a point of strength.

When others start to flag, I crank up the juice, when others start to take one step back, I take 2 steps forward.

I have said to myself that this is my second chance.

When losing my hair was all I could think of day after day, hour after hour - I wasn't designing a life, I was just having an existence and trying to get through the day.

Now I live my life the way I want it and you can too.

You are not going to be transformed by just reading this article!

I hope to give you inspiration that you can change and I will be telling you some techniques that can help you.

If you are really interested and serious in taking this further and really getting into some personal training with me about your hairloss then please feel free to visit my dedicated site at:

Shave it off!

My advice to anyone who is losing their hair is to shave it off!

Either buy yourself some clippers and give yourself a grade number 2 or number 1 or if you want to go the full hog, shave it all off!

If you are worried about looking stupid or that it will look worse, get that out of your mind straight away.

Nothing looks worse than thin strands of hair combed over or a lot of hair at the sides and back and nothing on top.

By shaving it, it will look a lot cleaner and crisp. Once you have had it done you really will wonder what all of the fuss was about.

You will never go back to your old style again.

If you are feeling a little nervous about it, do what I did.

I booked a couple of days off work and had it all shaved off.

Then, to get used to it I walked around a park during the day where I knew no-one would know me.

As I walked by people they didn't give me a second look and I started to feel more comfortable about it.

Then on day 2 I would go into more built areas with more people around me to build up my confidence even more.

The great bald men of our time

If it's good enough for Sean Connery and Bruce Willis, then it's good enough for me!

In today's society there is NO stigma associated with being bald.

In fact it is very fashionable, remember David Beckham shaving off all of his flowing blonde locks?

Sean Connery was voted the most sexiest man in the world a couple of years ago

How many female admirers has Andre Agassi got?

If ever you need any convincing that bald is beautiful just think of the great bald men of our time!

Here are some more:

Anthony Edwards (E.R), Vin Diesel, Moby, Michael Stipe (REM), Stone Cold Steve Austin!, Ross Kemp, Michael Jordan - YOU ARE IN GREAT COMPANY!

Being bald is all about your total appearance

Now that you have shaved off your hair or at least cropped it short, why not boost your confidence even further by re-designing your entire image.

View this as a fresh start, the new you.

Write down the person you want to be.

Do you want to look crisp and sharp with nice suits and open neck shirts?

Do you want to look hip and trendy with jeans, trainers and zip up jackets?

Re-define yourself.

Think about the image and look that you want to portray.

Would a goatee beard or some stubble suit you?

The choice is yours!

JUST GO FOR IT!

With your new hairstyle and new wardrobe you will feel on cloud nine!

Techniques to feel good about yourself

So you may have been caught up in all of media and you want to accept your baldness but are finding this difficult to do. How can you overcome these feelings?

Well, the first thing you need to do is to get emotional!

When I say emotional I mean that you need to get to the stage where not accepting your hairloss is going to mean massive pain for you and your life.

You've got to get to the stage where accepting your hairloss and coming to terms with it, is the only option.

So how do you do this?

EXERCISE

Write down a list of all of the things that you are not doing, saying, experiencing and living in life because you believe that you hair is holding you back.

Next to each item put down what it actually means to you now and what it will mean to you in the future. Don't write down any wishy washy reasons. Get emotional!
What will it cost you mentally, emotionally, physically?

For example:

You may have written down that you are scared of chatting up women because they may feel you are unattractive.

What this means is that you will NEVER have a girlfriend, NEVER have a wife and kids and your sex life will be left to your own devices for the rest of your life!

You will be a sad and lonely person.

Now I know that sounds harsh here but you are not going to get juiced up to change unless you crank up those emotions!

Just saying "I will be on my own forever" is garbage!

Saying "I will be a sad and lonely person for the rest of my life" fires up a lot more emotions.

REALLY GO FOR IT!

No-one can see your list. If you want to swear on it, then swear.

When you read over your list you should be getting sensations in your body that you want to move towards accepting your hairloss.

If you don't, then your list and reasons are not strong enough.

Keep revising and re-doing your list until you get into that "I must accept this" state of mind.

After you have wrote your list and the reasons, I'd like you to read out aloud your list to yourself every morning and last thing before you go to bed until you feel comfortable and juiced to live life on the front again.

But don't stop there, after a while you can read over your list every other day, until your feelings of acceptance become second nature. Then onto once a week etc.

The exercise I have just described to you works fantastically well.

Coupled with some sessions with me and you will really blast through those hair worries and nothing will held you back.
