Is it pathetic with all the problems in life that I really can't get over it/get used to it/cope with it?

I'm starting to think its just a naturally occurring event for a lit of people, maybe?
Some go grey, some don't, some naturally bald.
Obviously not in the case of those who have had traumatic events.

Men go bald, and its rare for anyone to try and work out why - they just do.
Its all very complex isn't it?

A lot of celebrities wear wigs, sometimes just to go from brunette to blonde etc. However a clever hairdresser might also be helpful and make thinning hair less apparent with a clever cut.. I would visit a good professional hairdresser first to examine both options, the wig or a new hairstyle. All the best.

If all these lotions and potions did what they claim why aren’t well know personalities like Elaine Paige and Gloria Hunniford getting any success with thinning hair.
Both women had a beautiful mane but sadly no more.
But I see Gloria is wearing a wig now.

This is the Trichologist that I was under.
She is recognised across the uk as the industry’s most wanted hair guru
The best I achieved was my hair stopped falling out but unfortunately I had left it too long before I saw a professional.
