There was a time, when many western beauties used to flaunt a completely shaved off, bald hairstyle; with a great courage and super high confidence. Although, in case of some of the traditional countries, like India; hardly any one dares to take the plunge! As apparently, philosophy, history and even religion; all are found to be indirectly supporting the fact that hair has been a reflection of person’s self-esteem; which has been symbolized throughout the time, as noted herewith confirming that the “bald and beautiful is no longer tending”!
Protection & Femininity
Since the ancient days, wherein we were identified as cavemen, hair had a strong advantage of protecting both the scalp and skull, from extreme weather conditions, foreign attackers, etc. irrespective of gender. Moreover, women were purposely growing their hair, with the perception for being them to be useful for their newborns to hold onto! Earlier, long hair can be held tight by new born as a rope, for being close to their mother, especially when running away from danger. In fact, men later on started to prefer women with long hair.
Thus, long hair was a symbol of woman’s ability to protect and sustain the life of her new born!
Strength
Men were also more inclined towards growing little longer hair; to promote their bulkier appearance, which could be coupled up with a thick and strong beard, for adding up to their rough, rugged look and physique.
Thus, men with long hair and bulky beard would promote his roughened up look to intimidate and confront their rivals. It was a symbol of strength for them.
Identity
For women, hair on their head is like a crowning glory; it is a kind of energy, a confidence, through which back home they want to be attractive and beautiful. Women with lustrous, strong hair, reflect a statement on their own; a statement of being their own selves! To dye it or to fry it with those curls, coils as well as kinks, is totally their part, their choice!
For that matter, a negative implication of a woman with bald head; is still highly apparent in a society.
Civic Freedom
Lady Godiva, a legendary English noblewoman, riding naked, covered only with her long hair is still been symbolized as a Civic Freedom and the beauty.
It is thus still a popular conviction that appearance is important, and in that, hair is definitely contributing to our personality, thoughts and beliefs; through great addition of self-esteem, action and motives. Thus, hair and its obvious relation with beauty is still being a multibillion dollar industry; with an average person spending roughly about 50000$ on the maintenance and the health of his/her hair, over lifetime.
While the traditional options for hair loss, like medications, topical application of oils, creams, etc. and hair transplants have been found to be with limited therapeutic outcome; stem cells combined with autologous PRP therapies have shown significant improvements in hair regrowth, by addressing the underlying, intrinsic cause of concern! And hence stem cells and PRP therapy is currently being defended as the most viable and potent alternative to baldness.
