The affects of thinning hair
Women and men may both experience thinning hair and hair loss for a variety of reasons. Both genders visit HairLoss.com, which questioned visitors about their hair problems to learn how it affects their daily lives. In women, thinning hair is caused by genetics, emotional stress, physical stress on the hair, illness, medications, and even poor diet may cause your hair to fall out.
There are lots of ways to cover up the physical signs of thinning hair. Women have been using extensions, wigs and clever hairstyles for decades to make their thin locks look rich and full. The right color, the right cut, a part placed just so — all of it will help to hide the problem to the outside world. But the hair loss survey focused on another topic: how sufferers feel about their thinning hair.
Women and men both responded to the survey, and there was little difference in the way the genders felt about their hair problems. “Over ninety percent of respondents who took our survey report that their hair loss makes them feel depressed,” HairLoss.com spokesman Michael Garcia said. “The same amount related that their self-esteem and self-confidence had been effected negatively by their hair loss condition.”

More than 4,000 visitors to the site have answered the questions so far. The survey also asks about age, gender and type of hair loss. Many of those who took the survey understand the root causes of hair loss and hair thinning. Women and men both report, to the tune of a 90% majority, that they think about their hair situation “all the time.”
And how does hair loss affect those who experience it? The survey reveals that more than 80% find their social lives, work lives and even dating lives are affected by the loss. A little less than 80% said their home lives and intimacy were affected by thinning hair. The survey isn’t scientific, dealing largely with the feelings and emotional impact of female hair thinning and male hair loss.

Oh my gosh! I felt your inner pain ... and I apologize for the fact that when I got to the part about setting your hair on fire, I laughed. I'm so glad you weren't hurt, and hair grows back. Perhaps a new hair-do would not only rectify the situation
