Baldness prevents such a statement being emphasised by the individual concerned. Everyone likes being pampered and the visit to your local hairdresser can be a moral booster and improve one's self confidence. Most hairdressers nowadays are sympathetic about hair loss. If your one is not, change immediately, they should give encouraging advice and not criticism. The condition of hair is usually a very good indication of the general state of your health.
Some doctors can tell a great deal about someone just by a quick look at the hair.
Hair analysis has for a long time been big business in America where you can send a sample of hair to a laboratory to be examined for the lack of minerals and protein. You will then be given a detailed report telling you which vitamins you are deficient in. This service of course makes the companies vast amounts of money, but in reality your doctor could tell you the same thing by a quick examination. Now there are a few clinics in this country which have started the same service. It costs around seventy pounds to have the hair analysed to ascertain how the body is operating internally, the vitamin and mineral levels, bowel toxicity and general dietary efficiency.
