Avoid the comb over at all costs!

Losing your hair can be an embarrassing process, first of all you notice some thinning at your temples and then it starts to slowly recede over the years to form the most common hair loss trait which is male pattern baldness.

However there are men out there that seem unaware of the products that can reverse the balding process such as Regaine Foam & Propecia, and choose to let their hair recede and style it in the most embarrassing way possible.


We are talking about the comb over people probably the worse hair style known to man, you are not fooling anyone and you only make yourself look worse.


If your losing your hair and are unwilling to admit your going bald, the answer is not combing over the bald patches as you can see from the pictures attached it looks ridiculous.
  

 There are three things you can do if you are noticing your hair line receding 

1. Nothing you're not bothered, let your hair recede as nature intended and hopefully you will have a hair style which will compliment your fizzog.
2. Hair transplant, this will solve all your hair loss problems but unfortunately a seven thousand pound average will hurt your pockets
3. And last but not least using Regaine Foam with Propecia, the two only approved medications for hair loss on the market today. 

Hair loss supplement advert banned

A TV advert for a supplement that claimed to reduce hair loss has been banned by a watchdog for being misleading. 

The manufacturers of Viviscal said it contained "a rich compound of marine extracts, organic soluble silica and fortified vitamin C" which provided "the nutrients needed for healthy hair". The national press advert also featured a testimonial from actress Sue Holderness who played Marlene in TV comedy Only Fools and Horses. She stated: "I liked the fact that Viviscal is all-natural and the scientific evidence seemed to make it well worth a try ... My hairdresser was astonished at the improved appearance of my hair ... Viviscal helps nourish my hair from within to keep it in brilliant condition." 

The complainant, The Scalp and Hair Clinic, challenged whether the advert misleadingly implied that Viviscal could improve thinning hair and reduce hair loss. Manufacturer Lifes2Good agreed to amend the advert so that this was no longer the case. 

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) also launched an investigation into whether the hair maintenance claims were misleading and could be substantiated. 

Lifes2Good told the ASA that the nutritional benefits of various ingredients relating to hair were well documented, and that studies with marine protein showed improvements to hair growth. 

But the watchdog found that the evidence did not show that the ingredients in the supplement benefited hair.

It said: "Because the evidence sent did not show that the ingredients in Viviscal had been shown to have a positive effect on hair health, we concluded the claims that the product could 'nourish hair follicles' and keep hair in 'optimum health and condition' had not been substantiated." 

The ASA ruled that the advert must not appear again in its current form.

Hot tub caused burns, hair loss, man says

Ken Brassington from the USA said he suffered burns and hair loss after a trip to the leisure centre's hot tub.
When he got into the hot tub, he noticed his eyes started burning. He had to lean back to avoid the fumes. After his swim, he said he went to shower and noticed his shorts were bleached.

Later, Brassington went home and said he noticed the hair on his legs and on the lower half of his body was balled up. He took another shower at home and said some of his body hair starting falling out. The hair that didn't fall out had turned blond. Brassington called the pool.

They asked him to fill out an incident report and then go to emergency where they checked to make sure his breathing was normal, he said.Brassington's respiratory system was fine, but he said he spent several uncomfortable days suffering from what seemed to be side effects from chlorine in the hot tub.

Brassington said he had sleepless nights and ended up wearing sweatpants on his job as a mailman, since his jeans irritated his skin. He said his skin was itchy and his hair continued to fall out for days after the incident.
"It's like a bad sunburn -it takes four or five days [to heal]," Brassington said. He is nervous about going back to the pool after what happened. More than a week later, Brassington said his skin was still itchy.

Recreation manager Christa Balatti said the hot tub was shut down after the incident, and a thorough investigation is taking place into what happened. "Definitely, safety is our No. 1 priority," Balatti said.
Policies and procedures are also being reviewed, she said. The chlorine is added using an automated system, but manual checks are being done every day on the water, Balatti said.

UK MEN CARE MORE ABOUT LOSING THEIR HAIR

Men in the UK worry more about losing their hair than finding a long term partner or being made bankrupt according to startling new research. Results show UK men are 20% more likely to worry about hair loss than finding a long term partner and 50% more likely to worry about going bald than going bankrupt. What’s more, twice as many men worry about their hair line than their performance in the bedroom.

 

The research commissioned by Regaine to mark the launch of its revolutionary new hair loss treatment, Regaine Foam, asked 2,000 men and women in the UK about their attitudes towards hair loss. The findings go on to reveal that two thirds of men thought having a full head of hair made them more attractive to the opposite sex (65%)  while  a quarter of men admit that going bald could even affect the chance of their career progression (25%).

The younger generation (under 18 years old) rank hair loss as a higher worry than older age groups with 73% of all respondents agreeing that a full head of hair makes them look younger. Welshmen top the list of regions who worry most about hair loss in the UK while men from the East Midlands were least concerned about their receding hair lines. 

Irish postal worker loses hair in practical joke

A postal worker from Londonderry Ireland has suffered burns and lost clumps of his hair in what is understood to have been a practical joke gone wrong.

He discovered the hair loss when he took off a motorbike helmet he had taken from the staff locker room at Royal Mail's delivery office on Great James Street on Wednesday afternoon.

It is believed that an acidic substance had been put in the helmet. Royal Mail has launched an investigation.
The postal worker had returned from his rounds at about 1600 GMT when he put on the helmet. He did not discover anything wrong until he went home and took it off.

The matter has been reported to the police but it is understood that they have dropped their investigation as it is now being dealt with internally by Royal Mail. A source said that workers at the delivery office are "very annoyed and angry" about what happened.
