Baldness can cause a person to feel annoyed and embarrassed. Men and women can get very emotional when it comes to baldness. However, you must remember that baldness is common. There are many reasons for baldness to occur, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with. Fortunately, there are many ways to boost your confidence while learning how to comfortably adjust to appearing bald.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Accepting Baldness
Step 1. Identify the cause of baldness
The first step to coming to terms with baldness is understanding the causes of baldness. Everyone experiences hair loss every day (some more than others), but it's not significant enough to be categorized as bald. The main cause of baldness is usually related to one of four factors, namely genetics (family history), hormonal changes, medical conditions, and side effects of drugs. If the hair loss is significant, but the cause is unknown, you should find the cause. Talk to your doctor to help find the cause, and you'll be better prepared to embrace baldness.
If you're worried about losing hair, pay attention to your diet. The habit of eating low-nutrient dishes can be one of the causes of thinning hair. Also pay attention to emotional health. Stress can also be a cause
Step 2. Block negative comments
Sometimes strangers can ask random personal questions. If your self-confidence has been hurt because people have asked you about your hairstyle choices, try learning effective ways to respond to stuttering people. One way is to ignore such people. Pretend you didn't hear her comment and you don't have to admit it, even to yourself. You can also confront the person by explaining that you prefer not to say anything about your personal appearance. Both options will make you more confident than if you choose to ponder the insult for a long time.
Step 3. Acknowledge the benefits of baldness
Baldness is not only charming, but also positive! For example, many people see baldness as a sign of social maturity and higher social status. That's a good perception when you're in the office. People also tend to associate baldness with physical strength.
- Saving time. Going bald can drastically reduce the time you spend styling your hair in the morning. Instead of drying, combing and styling your hair, you just need to moisturize and apply sunscreen before you're ready to go out! The extra sleep you get each morning will definitely boost your mood and self-confidence.
- Save up. Even if you still have to treat a bald head, it will cost less money than treating a full head of hair. Just ask any woman (or man) who has spent a fair amount of money dyeing hair that will fade in just two months.
Step 4. Find someone you admire
The world is full of inspiring, strong, and charming people, and many of them are hairless! If you don't personally know someone you can choose as a bald hero, there are plenty of famous people you can look up to. Read a lot and find someone you admire, both internally and externally. Many strong people in history were bald, so you have a lot of choices. Are you interested in politics? Read about Cory Booker. If you're a sports fan, read about Michael Jordan!
Step 5. Value health
If baldness is the result of a medical condition, it can be very difficult to deal with. You've gone through a lot of physical and emotional changes, so it can be hard to accept one more big change when you lose your hair. Although it can be very difficult, you can shift perceptions. Instead of thinking, “The chemotherapy is making me bald,” try to think, “The chemotherapy must have had an effect. I can see in the mirror. Thinking positively (and feeling more confident) can improve how you feel, both mentally and physically.
Method 2 of 3: Gaining Confidence in General
Step 1. Praise yourself
Focus on the positive features of yourself. Have you had success running a big project at the office? Save yourself! Can you see the results of working out in the fitness center? High five! Every day, try to think of at least one thing you like about yourself. It will become a habit and have a huge impact on self-esteem. You'll immediately feel more confident by appearing bald!
Step 2. Strengthen the mind
By stretching the muscles of your soul, you can find new reasons to be proud of yourself. Try learning a new skill or language, playing word games, and meditating. All of these activities have been shown to increase mental agility. The smarter you feel, the better you feel about yourself in general. Intellect is directly related to the level of self-confidence. You'll begin to realize that baldness doesn't define you. You have many good qualities.
Step 3. Avoid negative thoughts
Try to avoid negative thoughts. However, don't be angry with yourself if you have negative thoughts. Instead, accept the thought, acknowledge it, and move on. Eventually, you'll be able to train yourself to have less negative thoughts. It also helps if you struggle to put yourself in a positive situation. Surround yourself with positive friends and family who think you're great!
Try saying positive affirmations in the mirror. Look at yourself, including the baldness, and tell yourself that you look cool and feel cool
Step 4. Act with confidence
Keep your head up and walk straight. When meeting new people, look them in the eye, smile, and offer a firm handshake. These are all ways that can make you appear confident. Evidence says that when you act with confidence, you will feel more confident too.
Step 5. Present yourself at your best
Maybe you don't feel very confident about all parts of yourself. That can be achieved with practice, but for now, work on the part of yourself that makes you feel strong and secure. Choose your favorite outfit and put on the best smile. If you are confident in your self-image, those feelings will spread until you finally feel your overall self-confidence increase. Before long, you will be displaying baldness along with other positive features.
Method 3 of 3: Improving Appearance
Step 1. Invest in a quality wig or wig
Hair loss can be a physical as well as emotional loss, especially if the baldness is the result of an illness. You can feel better and boost your confidence if you can find a good wig. Wigs come in a variety of styles and colors. Before choosing a wig, take the time to look through fashion magazines to find a style you like. A quality wig is important because it will look more natural and require less maintenance. Choose a style that you can comfortably maintain.
- To find the right wig, ask for advice. Before you start shopping, ask a friend if she has any good wig shop suggestions. Another good resource is your hairdresser. Ask his opinion!
- Consider buying two wigs. One for everyday and another for fun. Wear a fun wig (such as a light-colored one) when you're feeling excited and need an impromptu mood boost.
Step 2. Find a new accessory
If you don't want to wear a wig, there are many ways to temporarily cover up baldness. As you become more confident with your baldness, you'll need fewer options. Even if you choose to wear a wig at work, you may want a more comfortable option at other times. There are lots of great options like hats, scarves, and turbans. The most important thing is to find an accessory that is the right size (measure your head) and is most comfortable. After these two conditions are met, feel free to start choosing and dressing yourself up. Treat hats and scarves the same way you shop for clothes. It is a way to show style and reflect personality. Choose some accessories that make you look cool. That's a great confidence booster.
Step 3. Treat the skin
Maybe you want to cover up baldness, maybe not. After all, taking good care of your skin will make you feel and look better. Most people don't realize that when you shave your head, you still have to use shampoo and moisturizer. There is a lot of invisible hair on the head that still needs to be cleaned. You should also make sure to use sunscreen every day. Keeping the head moist is also very important. Treat the skin on top of your head just like any other skin. You will become more attractive, healthier, and that will be reflected in your attitude.
Step 4. Consider replacement therapy
Hair replacement therapies such as grafts or transplants are a more permanent solution if you don't want to remain bald. However, it is not suitable for everyone. The most common candidates for replacement therapy are men or women who are not genetically predisposed to baldness and who are bald due to injury (such as burns). If you feel you are part of one of them, you can consult a doctor for more information and a deeper understanding of the procedure.
- Do some research. You should find a dermatological surgeon with a good reputation. Make sure you ask questions about the procedure, recovery time, and potential side effects.
- Use other methods to feel more confident. Remember that baldness is charming.
Step 5. Apply makeup
There are many products that can be used if you have smaller bald spots. One such product is a compact powder that you can apply on your head to reduce the appearance of baldness. It also coats the hair to make it appear more voluminous.
Step 6. Get rid of thinning hair
Many men and women suffer from thinning hair for various reasons. The usual reaction is to hold on to the remaining hair. However, you will feel more confident if you take control and get rid of thinning hair. Balancing hair is usually more attractive than other methods. In other words, skip the stage of covering the bald spot.
