    Hair loss is caused by a multitude of factors, including aging, stress, hormonal imbalances and bad genetics.

    “Bad” genetics?! Damn, that’s a little fucking judgmental for what is ultimately just a cosmetic issue.

      If the topic is undesired head hair loss, “bad” appropriately describes the genes that may contribute to that. The discussion is limited by the context to avoiding hair loss, it isn’t a universal conversation on cosmetics

      When my head is freezing and I don’t have a hat handy I’m pretty sure that’s not a cosmetic issue.

      It’s not just cosmetic. Hair keeps the heat from escaping the head so quickly and, more importantly, it helps keep the head from getting sunburned and skin cancer.
