Baldness Ranking
Men'sHealth
Most men losing their hair: Atlanta
Fewest: Oklahoma City
The good news for Atlanta: It moved up from last year's ranking as the unhealthiest city for men. The bad: It's still the baldest address in America. Based on the number of doctor visits for androgenetic alopecia (a.k.a. mail-pattern baldness) and the number of Propecia prescriptions per capita, men in Atlanta give new meaning to "the Georgia Dome."
How men in Atlanta can catch up: Use sunscreen. In a study of 190 men, Belgian researchers found that a sun-damaged scalp almost always preceded hair loss, possibly because excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation shifts the follicles into their dormant phase. The obvious solution is a hat. The realistic solution is to style your hair with a product that contains sunscreen, such as Jason mousse, which contains the UV filter titanium dioxide. Or, if you're a gel guy, pick up some sunscreen-fortified Condition Clairol 3-in-1 Gel.
