For Balding Men (and Women): In Memory of Fuzzy Willy by – Alice Hunter

By Sid

Almost all of us have played with a Fuzzy Willy ? you know: the guy who didn?t have much hair loss. He is still a smiling bald guy who resembles Curly of the Three Stooges in expression. He has been, throughout the years, a simple, line-drawn portrait behind a frame of clear plastic. Down on the inside, dark shavings of a metal, little tiny hair-like slivers scatter around in piles. %GOOGLEAD%

Willy comes with a red magnet stick. You take the red magnetic stick and pull the hairy shavings up, up, and release them on Fuzzy Willy?s white bread scalp. Suddenly, he’s no longer bald! What a great day for Fuzzy Willy – you can cure his hair loss problems in an instant. Hair loss is no longer a problem, and he now has a full head of healthy hair.

Fuzzy Willy is still out there, sold in toy stores and Dollar stores, a cheap thrill. Unless you truly are losing your hair. Then Fuzzy Willy is not so thrilling anymore.

Many of us have seen a few real, live Fuzzy Willies in our time, wearing hair-pieces that appear so fake that they look like wads of goat hair stuck together on a flap of burlap. Not so long ago, it was a common sight on C-Span, where there were usually several senators who sported absolutely hideous toupees.

After witnessing such a sight at the podium, men?and women, too?vow that they will shave their heads before they appear in public wearing a crummy hairpiece.

But aren?t they sort of talking out of line? They don?t know the loss of confidence and undesirable personality changes that may accompany Male Pattern Hair Loss. Some of the senators in question might say: ?Just wait until it happens to you. Then see how tough you are.?

Truly, massive hair loss has become the Achilles Heel in more than one male personality that was happy-go-lucky and admirable before the loss. Nobody has done a study yet to determine how many men experiencing serious hair loss are also suddenly relying upon
artificial stimulants, alcohol, or drugs.

Just exactly how does one?s ?coping skills? affect one?s pattern of hair loss? Is it a crazy question unworthy of consideration?

What if it turns out that emotional stress has just as much to do with hair loss as personal genetics? This question begs that attention be paid to other methods of Hair Loss treatment, methods which are totally holistic in nature, which include new eating habits and healthy meditation sessions for unwinding from the stresses of the world, along with herbal topic stimulants and oral herbal dosages for re-growth,

Fuzzy Willy is about eighty years old, probably. He is, by all means and purposes, an anachronism, a thing of the past. He is a trapped Fuzzy, and he cannot hear the wake-up call to try a different way of living. But real men are not trapped anymore. There are several treatment systems, some clinically tested and others purely botanical in nature, that work. The holistic treatments are proving quite effective in stopping hair loss and also reducing the chronic stress that some believe to be a major cause of hair loss.
