| China bald men's club offers chance to let hair down
BEIJING, Sept 24 (Reuters) - China has opened its first club where bald
men can let their hair down.
More than 150 million Chinese men aged between 25 and 35, or 40 percent
of the male population in that age group, suffer from baldness, the
Xinhua news agency said on Friday.
"The club provides a chance for alopecia patients to draw on each
other's experience in medical treatment and compare notes with experts
on successful therapy at Hair Loss and abroad," the agency quoted Professor
Hou Xianzeng, an adviser to the club in southern boomtown of Guangzhou,
as saying.
He cited fast-paced lifestyles and long spells of nervousness as the
principal cause of hair loss.
"Patients under the age of 35 often find it hard to choose life
partners or find good jobs," he said.
