Ben Affleck and John Travolta have both had big careers in the movie business; they both made their names by being heartthrobs on screen, and they both are the subject of endless tabloid speculation. They also have another similarity: hair loss. While John has recently begun to embrace his baldness after decades of wearing hairpieces, Ben still uses high-quality hair replacement techniques to disguise his receding hairline. If you are a man experiencing hair loss, you can learn something from both of these stars.
Self-Confidence
Men and women often lose their self-confidence along with their hair. For those in the entertainment industry, the crisis of confidence is more public. After all, they are subjected to overwhelming tabloid attention off screen and high-definition technology on screen. When your livelihood depends in part on your looks, hair loss can be devastating. Instead of seeking the spotlight, you may withdraw from society and work to make yourself less visible. And the same is true for those who aren’t well known. When your hair fails you, so does your self-esteem.
Hair Replacement Options
For years, John Travolta worked to hide his hair loss. He wore a series of realistic-looking toupees in a number of styles. Several years ago, John began appearing without his “hair,” going so far as to portray the bald music star Pitbull in one of his videos. Now he sometimes wears a hair piece and sometimes does not. His choice reflects his current movie role or his personal inclination for the day.
Rumor has it that Ben Affleck embraced hair replacement technology some years ago, probably when he was in his 30s. He has long been known for his thick, almost-black hair, so he was undoubtedly traumatized when it began to thin. Unlike Travolta, Affleck has not been seen in public without a hair piece, but he may also embrace that choice at some point.
It’s reasonable to believe that both stars also tried other hair replacement options such as minoxidil, which is a topical and/or oral treatments to slow and possibly restart hair growth.
Your Choice
Hair replacement options have grown in quality and availability in recent years, so you don’t have to be a movie star to find an answer to your hair loss. Laser treatment, hair systems, transplants, etc. are now a practical and attractive answer to thinning hair for the average person.
