Baldiness

Bald Breakfast

by Bald Man on April 25th, 2007

Bacon and Eggs

Coffee, eggs and a side of combover… Order up!

OK, I’ll confess to a certain infatuation with the people writing it to Dr. Rassman at Balding Blog. Other commitments are limiting my time here, but he never fails to entertain me… oh, and educate as well.

Recently he posted a couple of breakfast themed questions. In one a man confesses to combing coffee grounds through his thinning hair (I’ll assume both author’s are male.) because of a recent news showing that caffeine may counteract the effects of DHT. In the other a man seems to be wondering whether egg yolks will have a similar effect.

Really? Coffee and egg yolks? I am trying hard not to just poke fun, but I confess I don’t understand the hold that hair loss holds over some people. Change… aging… the perception of an attractive appearance: I understand how these influence a person to seek medical advice. But so many stories smack of desperation beyond what is reasonable.

If you have or are in the midst of personal experience with this sort of desperate bid to hang on to hair, I sincerely would like to hear from you. Leave a comment or email me. I know my sense of humor can be a bit acerbic at times, so I hope you won’t hold that against me. I would genuinely like to understand the drive if I can.

However… I still find amusement in the desperate measures people go to. (I find similar amusement elsewhere in life; I only blog about baldness related desperation here.) So, I think we may be on our way to a new feature, one in which I make up new cures for hair loss. Hmmm…
