Do people in finance have a higher tendency to get bald?
Is it just me, or do people in finance have a higher tendency to get bald? Both in movies, in my school (finance), and at my bank I think that a higher percentage of the males that are balding than in other industries. Is there some truth to this?
I do not think there is any correlation between working in finance and going bald.
There certainly is. Stress is a cause of baldness and finance is a stressful job.
Finance is not the only career that has stress. Your genetic composition and the your hair routine with products are the main reasons people lose their hair.
I think there’s 3 things at work here:
1) finance is a stressful career, which is absolutely a contributor to balding
2) a plurality of finance is white dudes, who tend to see more balding than other ethnic groups
3) finance also probably skews older than other careers
I think the ethnic group statement is accurate but stress is actually not related to male pattern baldness which is the majority of hair loss cases. one could argue the working hours could cause hair loss due to unhealthy habits and poor diet but the primary cause would not be stress.
i'm not sure but my old boss had a proper friar tuck
We had the same discussion in our firm, and we compared our EU offices and US offices against each other when it came to hair loss.
Ultimately we realized that our Italian, French, Spanish and Swiss offices have a lot less hair loss than our US and UK counterparts. The big difference between these groups were diet, work/sleep pattern and, naturally, genetics.
This wasn't a scientific study or anything.
The most important factor is genetics. If you do not have good genes, there is not much you can do about it without artificial methods. If you have good genes, diet and proper hair products can make a difference.
I'm balding af. Shave the head periodically. Thankfully have a gorgeous head and face. Steroids are not helping. Don't take fina. It will make you a chemical hermaphrodite.
Just have better genetics
I think affluent men who focus on their appearance are more likely to fully shave their heads if they start losing hair.
