There is no doubt hair loss can have devastating effects on the confidence of a person. It is seen as a health indicator, with full lustrous head exhibiting that you are in good health and full of energy. In our day-to-day affairs, whether socializing with friends or transacting business deals, we want to convey positive qualities, and want to look our best. However, if you are young and losing hair, it would be a challenge to keep up confidence and will even diminish your chances of attracting your potential partner in life.
Definition
Hair loss is simply the thinning of hair on your scalp. In the medical field, it is referred to alopecia. Normally, it occurs gradually with age in both men and women, but it is more noticeable in men. When there is excessive loss of hair from your scalp, it results in baldness.
Major Causes
It's major causes can be attributed to the following:
a) Hair may simply thin as a result of the aging process. It is common among many men and women to notice a mild thinning starting in their thirties and forties.
b) Life variations including severe stress, changes in nutritional intake and hormonal changes such as in pregnancy, menopause and puberty may cause reversible hair loss.
c) Medical research reveals that health conditions, such as thyroid issues and anemia (iron deficiency) can also cause hair loss.
d) It is also a common side effect of certain medical treatments such as immune suppression treatments including chemotherapy commonly used to treat cancer patients.
Pattern in Men
Pattern of hair loss in men is marked by hair receding from the forehead (laterally), more commonly described as receding hairline. It may also include thinning on the crown. The incidence of baldness pattern is based on genetic background. Some start losing hair in their 50's or 60's, but to unfortunate others, it can start sooner, in their 20's and 30's.
Pattern in Women
This problem is not a monopoly of the men however, as it is a growing problem in women too. It is a woman's worst nightmare, for luscious hair is vital in a woman's vanity. Hair loss among women is also based on genetics. It is less likely for women to lose the crown and frontal hairline. The pace of hair loss in women tends to occur gradually, which often take years before it becomes noticeable to others.
Treatment
Luckily, hair loss is mostly a temporary condition that can be treated as well. Its cures available in the market include prescription pills that makes the hair re-grow, oil or lotion treatments that are applied right to the affected scalp to stimulate growth and in case of severe balding, hair transplant surgery. If your hair loss is attributable to certain medications however, hair may naturally re-grow without treatment. But before considering any treatment, it is important to consult your doctor, so that you do not waste your money, or worse, put your health at risk.
Psychological Effects
Hair loss can be devastating to both men and women. For many people, thinning hair can result in emotional stress such as loss of self-esteem. Among women, hair is associated with beauty, youth and health, so when she loses her hair, she no longer feels attractive. Similarly, men associate hair with virility, so when they start getting bald, they feel a diminished masculinity.

Casual Sportswear Tips For Men And Women
Bridging the Gap Between Your Workday and Your Workout
Both men and women have a lot to do throughout the course of a day. Many work forty or more hours a week while trying to find the time to live a healthy lifestyle. But whatever the occasion might be, there is always the right way to dress, and a better way to dress.
Daily Fashion Ranges for Men and Women
A busy mom for example might start the day in yoga pants and a tank top in order to get in a few minutes of stretching exercises in before heading to the office in a skirt and slacks with a blouse and stylish, yet sensible shoes, a handbag, and jewelry or other accessories such as scarves,or belts.
A guy is more likely to find a pair of sweats and an older t-shirt when he's trying to fit in a quick workout. Depending on his job, a gentleman may wear dress pants, a dress shirt, and a tie or even a suit to work. Those with more casual work environments might wear blue jeans, khakis, and polo shirts or casual sweaters.
On more intense cardio days, women will choose more supportive workout wear while she runs on the treadmill, or uses other cardio equipment either at home or at the gym. Workout videos will show personal trainers that look like models in leotards or coordinating track outfits, but in reality what both men and women want most from their exercise clothes is comfort that they can move in, and still feel supported.
Casual Sportswear for Men
Casual Sportswear is something in between, and is the place where most people seem to "live." Just because you aren't on duty doesn't mean you shouldn't try to look appropriate for the occasion. Jeans, t-shirts and sports jerseys are popular, but are not always the preferred choice of attire.
Other options for men who are embracing their downtime are white Oxford shirts, pinstripe shirts, or blue gingham shirts. Sport jerseys, generally don't generate style points, unless you are heading to a game. Rugby shirts are considered stylish and have the bonus of being comfortable and structured enough to wear almost anywhere. Shirts should be worn fitted, when they are too loose, they pass the comfort realm and begin to dip into the under-dressed area.
T-shirts are fine, but should be chosen based on their cut, color and graphics. Some jeans alternatives include chinos, khaki pants, and corduroys. These too should fit properly and don't forget to wear a belt. By keeping clothes looking good, yet comfortable you're ready for an impromptu game of "one on one" with your kids in the driveway, or a nice after dinner stroll.
