The denial factor is present in nearly every emotion man experiences in response to his hair loss. People want to ignore everything, that they’re losing their hair and find it difficult and they are unable to manage it emotionally.

The process of recognizing and confronting denial that is lying to yourself is the most significant yet most challenging aspect of understanding the psychological causes of the baldness.

4. Emotion of solitude
While the majority of males who have gone bald feel the same way but each man, in a way feels completely solitude. Be aware that you’re not all on your own. Through the years, we’ve met with thousands of men–of every size and shape about hair loss. All of them share the same worries, desires and wants. Unfortunately, these men felt secluded and confined by the social pressures telling them that they shouldn’t express any kind of emotion and even less care about their appearance.
Many men believe that they have to be quiet and strong since expressing emotions is viewed as weak. However trying to appear strong only serve to make them appear more solitude from each other. Women, on the other hand, are not subject to restrictions on their emotions. They can freely communicate their feelings and keep their beauty using whatever methods needed.
