Baldness has affected me, I felt that age has eventually caught up with me. I felt like the best years of my life were behind me. I even stopped seeing girls. My love life was non-existent. There was one girl I had been seeing casually and even though I liked her, I just stopped returning her calls. I figured that I hadn’t found the woman of my dreams with a full head of hair so there was no way I was going to find someone with my growing bald spot. I was too deflated to even try having a romantic kinship.

Hair loss transformed me in to a dismayed loner, I was always a confident and socialable guy. I’veI have always been the type of person that would not let problem overtake me. I tried lots of hair loss treatments that are accessible over the counter. Nothing I got from the drug store worked and believe me, I gave them all a go . After spend lots of money on products, I stopped trying for a while. It was a real low point in my life. I even stopped going out with my friends, I was so lonely.

Fortunately, one night a good friend of mine took me out for a few beverages. Throughout the night, he observed was I looked a little down. It took him a little while to figure out why. He told me about the hair loss studio in the city. My friend had gone there for hair loss treatments and had been impressed with the results. I was even more impressed. My friend had a full head of hair and there was no sign of hair loss. He made me promise to give them a go and I agreed.

I could not have been happier with the hair loss studio recommended to me. After just a few treatments, I had a full head of hair again. The hair loss studio not only helped me regained my hair but also my confidence.

People should know age has never meant anything to baby
boomers. We don’t care about the years creeping up on us. We
simply care about feeling good and making a difference no matter
how old we are. Especially baby boomer women.

There are 38 million of us turning ages 42 to 60. The sheer
number of us is changing the image of midlife women like no
other generation before. Middle age finds us pondering how we’ve
lived the first half of our lives and what to do about the
second. Some of us are in the grips of a midlife crisis, going
through menopause or even considering cosmetic makeovers. Many
are caring for elderly parents while parenting our children and
working full time. But don’t let that concern you. Boomer women
are reinventing themselves at midlife by choosing to follow
their passions.

As little girls we lived the simple life. Moms were at home
caring for their children and husbands; dads worked nine to five
and dinner was on the table at six. We jumped rope, played
hop-scotch, married off Barbie and Ken, and played with our Hula
Hoops and Slinkies. Violence in school meant the few boys who
threw eggs at the windows of their least favorite teacher. We
practiced duck-and-cover drills and wore silver bracelets with
our POW’s name and birth date.

The first wave of boomer women came of age during the women’s
movement and civil right’s era. We protested Vietnam while
losing boyfriends in battle. Some of us burned our bras and
helped spark a sexual revolution in the 1960s and early ’70s.

The second wave of boomer women benefited from the women’s
movement. We had greater access to legal abortions and the pill.
We led a metamorphosis from housewives to career women. This
group came of age in the late 1970s and early ’80s. We created
the diet and fitness craze, but were also responsible for
ushering in a society that is more global in its thinking while
becoming more conscious of individual rights and our
environment. In the 1960s, when some boomers were in diapers and
others entered adulthood, society-shaping events took place: the
assassinations of JFK, MLK, Malcolm X, and RFK; racial riots;
Roe v. Wade; the moon landing; and The Beatles. Woodstock, the
celebration of peace, love, and rock and roll, codified a
generational divide once and for all.

As young women we were told the world was our oyster. We should
DO something with our lives. We should never become dependent on
a man. We were the generation that could have it all, do it all,
and be it all. Education, Prince Charming, families,
careers–you name it and we could have it. We chose diverse
paths. Some of us aborted our babies while others gave birth.
Some chose the corporate ladder while others chose to stay home.
Some lived together while friends married. Some of us divorced
and became single moms while others chose to stay in loveless
marriages.

We chose to challenge ideas and reinvent lifestyles. We altered
the traditional role of the sexes as we played tug-of-war with
work and home. Believing the voices we heard, we attacked life
with a vengeance, entering the workforce while exchanging our
roller skates for pumps, candy necklaces for pearls, and wax
lips for lip gloss. We returned to the workplace three months
after giving birth, pumping our breasts at lunchtime. The
societal expectation was for us to work. Our self worth was
questioned when we chose to stay home like our mothers before
us. Staying home meant we didn’t get a pay check and chanced
missing the next rung on that corporate ladder. We felt guilty
leaving our children in child care while our friends who stayed
home felt guilty for not working. At midlife the 40s and 50s are
no longer as old as we once thought. We are more educated,
spiritual, wealthy, and healthier than any generation of women
to precede us. We’ve changed society’s expectation and continue
to redefine womanhood. We will be the biggest and richest market
segment by the year 2010.

At midlife we’re transforming and influencing every segment of
society. With children leaving the nest, we have time to
reflect. We’re going inward, hiring life coaches, exploring, and
finding new direction. We’re seeking spiritual guidance and
questioning if we’ve been true to ourselves or society’s
expectations. We’re searching for peace, solace, and direction
for the rest of our days on earth and the afterlife. We’re
seeking balance and pursuing our passions. We’re no longer
obsessed with being who others want us to be. We’re finding
contentment in who we are being called to be.

We’ve had more choices than our mother’s generation and have
lived and continue to navigate uncharted courses. We are
pioneers in our own right. We’re faithful, loving, and
hard-working women who multi-task to survive. We continue to
better ourselves so we can help those who need us. We come from
various backgrounds carrying different baggage. We love our
country. We’re trying to be all that we can be.

At midlife we’re celebrating and reflecting while experiencing
midlife epiphanies. We are wise women who have lived, loved, and
enjoyed making a difference. And will continue to do so.
