Hair loss can be a sensitive subject. For many, it's tied closely to confidence, identity, and even how others perceive us. While society often places value on appearance, it's important to recognise that losing your hair is a common and natural experience.
At Gro, we speak with many people who feel unsure about their options. Some choose to embrace a shaved look. Others explore treatments to maintain their hair. Whichever path you’re considering, the most important thing is that it’s your choice.
Why Hair Loss Feels Personal
Hair can be a key part of how people see themselves. When it begins to thin or recede, some feel it changes how others perceive them, too. While comments from friends or changes in the mirror might feel confronting, it’s worth knowing that these experiences are shared by many.
One study found that nearly 60% of men would prefer to have more hair than more money or friends. That speaks volumes about how common these feelings are—and how deeply people can be affected.
Embracing the Change
Roughly two-thirds of men will notice some level of hair loss by age 35. For many, this is simply part of the ageing process. And for those who choose to lean into it—whether through a clean shave, a cropped cut or embracing a new look—it can be empowering.
In fact, research has suggested that people perceive bald men as confident, mature, and strong. While these studies aren’t definitive, they do challenge common misconceptions about hair loss.
Should You Consider Hair Loss Treatment?
Some people are comfortable embracing hair loss. Others prefer to explore their options. If you’re in the latter group, the good news is that there are medically backed options available to help manage hair loss and support hair growth.
Treatment options may include:
- Prescription medication (if suitable, via a doctor consultation)
- Regenerative treatments
- Hair transplant procedures
A private consultation with a Gro Hair Growth Advisor can help you better understand which options might be appropriate for your needs and goals.
