• Hair Loss Has Its Perks – Tulsa Restaurant Discounts On “Bald Tuesdays”

  In Articles, Hair Loss / By The Bald Truth / 3 February 2010

  Hair Loss can be devastating, but at least balding guys wont starve in Tulsa Oklahoma.

  Customers of the Arizona Mexican Restaurant, at 6605 South Lewis Avenue in Tulsa, who meet their “balding criteria” receive between 10 to 30 percent off of their meals every Tuesday.

  The brain child of Heyka Zambrano, the restaurant’s owner, Bald Tuesdays has been in effect for about a year and was implemented as a way to increase business,  which is apparently working.

  “Gentlemen come in and sometimes they wear their hats.  They come to pay and take the cap off and I say, what do you think, is this worth 30 percent?”

  Well, we guess it’s better than a kick in the ass!

   

• I’m 16 and I’m Going Bald!

  In Articles, Hair Loss / By The Bald Truth / 26 January 2010

  Hair loss at any age can be devastating, but to begin the hair loss process as a teenager is beyond the scope of what most teens will ever be forced to cope with. A larger percentage of boys deal with the early onset of male pattern hair loss than most people realize. An estimated 20% of hair loss sufferers begin the process of balding before than age of twenty one, and many begin before they even graduate from high school. What these young hair loss sufferers need to know is that they are not alone and that there is life after hair loss.

  It’s important that teens confide in their parents, and  seek the advise of a physician who specializes in hair loss as soon as they notice any change in their hair. Early intervention is always the key to the effective treatment of hair loss, but immediate emotional support can be even more important during this extremely vulnerable time in a young hair loss sufferers life.

  Last week a young man posted his story and plea for help on the BaldtruthTalk.com message forums:

  “I am a 16 year old boy, and this is my story. For about a year now, I have been losing my hair.”

  “Every single day, I dedicated it to finding a cure. But found nothing.. I discovered Hair Restoration on the internet, and went to a hair restoration company.. The lady at the consultation felt bad for me, so she sent me to see a surgeon.. Once I saw him, all he did was prescribe me Propecia, and tell me that my donor area was outstanding (really good). But I couldn’t fill it because they said I had to be 18.. I bought a very expensive wig to cover it up, but it makes me feel faker than ever when I wear it.. I can’t do the activities I wish to do with it on either, or it will just fall off.. I cry a lot because of it.. I don’t go outside anymore because of it.. And it hurts so much emotionally because of my age.. Some nights, I even cry myself to sleep because of it.” “I wish someone could fix this, and make it go away.”
