On this International Men’s Day, I want to bring to your and by your I mean the boys’ attention on a very crucial point. I want to talk about something no one wants to admit and that is hair loss in men. Sure, genetics and age play a part, but let’s not pretend that’s the only reason you’re losing your luscious locks. There are some sneaky, lesser-known reasons why your hairline is running away faster than your excuses, and honestly? Some of them are entirely your fault. And if you wanna keep those luscious locks then remember these words by Shalini Passi – ‘The only reason, I don’t hold grudges against other people is because it affects my skin.” Well we are not talking about men holding grudges, but men avoiding toxic behaviour to be clear.
1) Lying Is Stressful And Stress Steals Your Hair
Let’s cut to the chase: lying isn’t just bad for your relationships, it’s bad for your hair too. Every time you spin a story to get out of trouble, your body goes into stress mode. Cortisol (that pesky stress hormone) spikes, and guess what? Stress weakens your hair follicles, causing your strands to give up on you. So next time you’re tempted to say, I was stuck in traffic, when you were really gaming with your boys, think about what it’s costing you not just your girlfriend’s trust, but also your hair.
2) Making Girls Cry Invites Bad Vibes (And Bad Hair Days)
Listen, karma is real. If you’re out there breaking hearts and leaving a trail of tears, don’t act surprised when your hair starts falling out. Negative energy has a funny way of manifesting, and let’s be honest, you’re practically inviting bad vibes to mess with your scalp. Happy relationships equal happy hair so maybe think twice before ghosting someone.
3) Sleeping Around Can Mess With Your Hormones
Now, I’m not here to judge your choices, but let’s talk science for a second. Sleeping with multiple people in a short span can throw your hormones into chaos. Testosterone levels can spike, crash, and do a little dance that your body doesn’t appreciate. And when your hormones are out of control? Yep, you guessed it your hair pays the price. So maybe consider pacing yourself, for the sake of your hairline (and your sanity).
4) Poor Sleep = Poor Hair
Oh, and while we’re at it if you’re staying up late scrolling through memes or swiping online, your hair is screaming for help. Sleep is when your body repairs itself, including your hair. Skimp on those precious hours, and you’re basically telling your hair to pack up and leave.
So there you have it, gentlemen. If your hair is thinning, it’s time to take a hard look at your habits. Stop lying, stop breaking hearts, and for the love of haircare, stop running on two hours of sleep. Your future self (and hairline) will hug you for taking care of it.
