Come on people. Hair loss is about genetics and not stress. I have my father's hair line which means I am bald on top with hair along the sides. Started losing my hair line around 35 yrs old and it's been a losing battle since.
I believe that in some tournaments, more than the loss of hair, I am closer to cardiac arrest due to the adrenaline that this beautiful game generates in me.
Yes, of course, poker can leave you bald, without nails, it can also leave you without a monitor and without a telephone, it all depends on the anger you have in some moments lol
You don't have to play poker at high stakes to lose your hair, and even at low stakes, you can see things at the table that can lead to hair loss.
The amount invested is less at stake, but the emotional fluctuation is as serious as at high stakes, which is certainly not good for the hair.
I think hair loss is a sign of genetic manipulation. As man we started covered with hair head to toe...now our heads are missing hair, almost kinda reminds you of aliens and how they don’t have hair...why is that?
Off topic: Thanks to the pandemic, I have been cutting my own hair almost 2 years now. I doubt I will ever go back to regular stylists, unless there is a special occasion. The price of the clipper was not much more than one salon visit, and I've gotten pretty good at it.
