Obesity kills 2.6M people a year. But your partner would rather you were overweight than suffering from hair loss.
Two stunning surveys reveal the depth of social antipathy towards hair loss.
MARBELLA, SPAIN, February 07, 2010 /Health and Fitness PR News/ -- MORE THAN 40 per cent of married couples would rather their spouse were overweight than bald, claims a shock survey.
And the research, published this week, also reveals that a staggering 57 per cent of women are not attracted to men with thinning hair.
Are the results a reflection on society's feeling towards baldness? One company, Headstyl, believes so and has taken great offence on behalf of bald men worldwide.
The new survey for hair re-growth medication brand ROGAINE , published on February 1, revealed that nearly half of married Americans would rather their spouse were overweight than bald.
Think about that for a moment. An overweight person is more likely to suffer from diabetes, stroke or heart attack! But their partner finds that a more attractive proposition than having to live with a bald person. Figures released yesterday by the World Health Organisation reveal that obesity killed 2.6M people around the world last year. Some of the other figures in this study were equally disturbing; 42M kids aged 5 or under are obese; 44% of diabetes cases are linked to obesity; 23% of ischemic heart disease cases as well as 7% to 41% of certain cancers are closely linked to being overweight.
As the pressure continues to mount at an unprecedented rate for men to look younger and better than ever, new figures for male cosmetic surgery just released show an 80 per cent increase in men having breast reduction treatment in the UK during 2009.
Meanwhile when it comes to baldness men are spending small fortunes on transplants and wigs.
These types of feelings towards going bald may come as a surprise to many, but is it fair that through no fault of their own, men who lose their hair are deemed to come second best to those with obesity in the looks department?
No wonder the company HeadStyl, run by British bald men, have become the global leaders in their field, offering an innovative solution to cover baldness using their
Internationally-acclaimed Artistic Hair Simulation technique.
They are throwing down the gauntlet to raise awareness and fuel the debate on the sensitivity and psychological effects caused by baldness.
They are offering an array of wonderful ''make-over'' luxury weekends in London, San Francisco or Marbella where they will treat hair-loss sufferers by placing specialist pigments on their scalps to give the appearance of natural hair follicles.
This mild form of tattooing is performed by their highly-skilled team of trained practitioners who match each client's skin and hair tone with pinpoint accuracy to give amazing results. The end product looks as if they have chosen to cut their hair short.
And their partner will receive a weekend of treatments ranging from massage and manicures to micro dermabrasion. Five-star accommodation is included in the package.
For special offers the company wants partners of hair-loss sufferers to write into them, stating in no more than 100 words, why they think their partner would benefit from a HeadStyl and deserves not to look bald anymore.
As a company whose mission is to have their clients go from baldness to boldness, Headstyl managing director, says: '' While we can't stop the prejudices against baldness in society, we can stop it happening to our clients.
