Intellectual activities or psychological problems do not lead to baldness. It is mistakenly believed that baldness creates a slight disadvantage when being chosen for a job, but this is incorrect. Another long-standing misconception is that those who are mentally more active are more prone to hair loss. “Baldness occurs as a result of emotional stress” is a false belief. Stress can certainly lead to hair loss, but it does not cause male pattern baldness. These hairs will grow back when the stress is alleviated. “Bald people are more masculine.” This is also a false belief. Shaving one’s hair does not make them appear stronger. Sexual development during adolescence does not lead to hair loss.
