FRONTAL BALDING CAN BE DEFINITELY AVOIDED

((c) 23 May, 2012: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.)

Part-1: 

FACE READING AND PERSONALITY PREDICTIONS IN A SCIENTIFIC WAY

Friends, I will do it for you FREE. All I need is a photograph showing your face and the frontal hairline.

All I need is a view of your face, starting from your nose up to, say, an inch of your frontal hair. 

(If you wish, you can send a view of your whole face. However, I need only the upper part of your face for this purpose.)

I intend to restrict the offer of personality analysis only for the first TEN people, preferably 5 men and 5 women.

If you can provide your approximate age, that may help a little more for making accurate predictions.

In order to maintain your privacy, you can send me your identity with a note “IDENTITY: CONFIDENTIAL”. Or, you don’t have to send it at all.

For security reasons, you can send your photograph to my g-mail ID, which is: vmpalaniappan@gmail.com.  But, I have to necessarily publish your forehead region. If I don’t, it would not make any sense.

OK, friends, bye for now.

FRONTAL BALDING CAN BE DEFINITELY AVOIDED

(© 1980, 2005, 23/5/2012: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan)

Dear Friends,

Several friends having frontal baldness have been asking me to help them.

Do you know why the forehead develops baldness?

Some girls too develop frontal baldness.

Why is it so?

TWO very simple reasons give rise to this problem.

Have you seen girls, who let their hair loose, and in whom the hair droops in front and hides the eyes,  shake (swing) their head frequently to push it away?

In addition to the above stylish way, they also slide their palm to push away the hair backward. 

They do this repeatedly. They are never tired of doing this.

The next time you watch a movie star being interviewed in a TV programme, better remember to watch this gesture.

Well, it is THIS KIND OF PALM SLIDING that brings about frontal balding in some of the people.

Men tend to use both their palms and slide them over the forehead, and tend to become victims of the problem.

*********

There are three other major problems:

One is, FREQUENT COMBING.

Second is, the way the comb is held: HORIZONTALLY.

The third is, USING A DIRTY COMB!

Let me copy-paste here the CULPRIT No.11 from my book HAIR PROBLEMS: CAUSES, CURE AND PREVENTION”.

The first edition of this title came out in 1980 in English (Soft Cover & Hard Cover Editions + Malaysian Language translation.)

It sold very well that I brought out THREE editions altogether.

That particular book dealt with all aspects of ECOLOGICAL reasons for the hair problems.

I did a lot of research AFTER that publication.

With the information I have gathered, I did some statistical analysis of the data, and brought out a much refined book with the same title in 2005.

To answer this question of FRONTAL BALDING, let me just COPY-PASTE here the ELEVENTH culprit that deals with FRONTAL BALDING.

****************

Culprit 11. The Comb (Figs. 18 - 24)

The scalp hair draws to it a variety of pollutants and dust particles from the environment, and becomes sticky in combination with the dandruff and sebum. 

Bacteria and fungi start thriving well on this substratum, causing hair pruning to create patchy baldness.

It would be better to avoid combing several times in a day.

This will become even more dangerous if repeated combing is done over the contaminated hair. 

If a comb is held in a slanting (i.e., horizontal) manner while combing from the front of the head, the person invariably develops frontal balding. 

A well-washed comb would become ‘dirty’ after a single combing of the unwashed hair. 

Numerous different kinds of problems would erupt if such a dirty comb is used.

Keeping a comb in the pocket and using it often will definitely create frontal balding, and hence it should be totally avoided. 

Fig.18. Frequent combing contributes to frontal and sparse balding.

(For some unknown reasons, I am unable to copy-paste the drawings... can anyone help, telling me how to do it...? Thanks.)

 Wooden combs, metal combs, combs that contain needle-like sharp edges, combs with narrow spacing meant for the removal of lice from head, etc. are not good for use, and hence they should be avoided as far as possible.

Combs, when not in use, should be kept on a plastic brush

Fig. 19.  If you cannot avoid keeping a pocket comb, first use it on the back of your head, and then do the frontal touch-up, remembering to hold your comb vertically.

Fig. 20. Double-edged, narrow-toothed comb will pull out a

lot of your hair, besides being a paradise for mircroorganisms.

Fig. 21. Do not injure your scalp: be kind to it.

Combs, when not in use, should be kept on a plastic brush rather than leaving them flat on dirty table floors, where they tend to pick up a lot of microbes.

Fig. 22.  Why not keep several combs, and use one for two days, so that cleansing will become a lot easier.

While combing, the combs should be held vertically, and the scalp should not be scratched.

Fig. 23. You can never keep your head clean this way.

Combs must be frequently cleansed, and such washings are better if done at the same time as one washes the hair with oil and shampoo.

  

Fig. 24. Thorough cleansing of the comb is of great importance.

*****************

OK, friends, I hope the above excerpts from my book "Hair Problems: Causes, Cure and Prevention” (1980, 2005) will be of some use to you for avoiding frontal baldness.

You may have another question to ask me.

“Prevention procedure is OK. 

What if, if I have already developed frontal baldness? 

Is there a cure for it. 

Can you help us in this regard?

Dear friends, Please see the book for more particulars.

OK, with best wishes,

Dr.Palani, Ph.D.
