Since my husband has been talking about his balding head ever since we met, I was happy to partner with Mom Central and Viviscal Man on this post. Some men are really self conscious about their thinning hair, and this can be a hard topic to discuss. Thankfully, Mike and I can talk about things like this and just laugh our way through this lovely aging process. 😉
Mike and His Balding Head
Mike and I met in our late twenties. I think that had a lot to do with our complete candidness right off the bat. Both of us were done with games in relationships and just laid it all out on the table right away. It was very refreshing and an early indicator that I could spend my life with this man. I believe it was about date 3 when we began to discuss our insecurities. He said something like, “Well, you know… I might go bald one day…”. Like that would have been a deal breaker for me or something! I could tell that his slight bald spot had him very insecure at the time. I quickly showed him my early-onset crows feet, and a list of other flaws that had his tiny hair thinning issue beat. It was great to know that we could laugh and be real with each other.
Of course, we are now married and have been together for a while. His bald spot has grown and he doesn’t talk about it too much, but sometimes I see him checking it in the mirror. I honestly would not care if went completely bald, but I know that is bothers him. I am not entirely sure why it bothers him, but I know he’s not alone.
The good news is that there are products out there to help. The Viviscal Man hair growth program can help nourish thinning hair from within. It has been shown to help promote existing hair growth. There’s a whole range of products for maximum benefits.
The Viviscal Man supplements contain an exclusive formula called AminoMar, and several other healthy ingredients to boost hair health. For more instant results, they have the Viviscal Hair Filler Fibers. Simply shake these fibers onto hair and blend. The electrostatic charge of the fibers allows them to attach to the existing hairs to provide a fuller look.

Receive a 10% discount on Viviscal Man and Viviscal Hair Filler Fibers on Walgreens.com. To take advantage of this discount enter the promo code “VIVISCALMAN” at checkout. This offer runs through the month of July.
Mike has been taking the supplements daily now and is eager to see the results over time. He hasn’t tried the fibers yet, but is happy to have them on hand just in case. They will be nice for special occasions.
Obviously, none of this matters to me. I will love my husband with our without hair. Heck, I even supported him through his mustache phase…
Does your partner have any issues with balding or hair thinning? Are they self conscious about it?

Tesa @ 2 Wired 2 Tired says
May 29, 2013 at 8:46 amI’m glad to hear he’s been happy with the results. There’s definitely a need for this because I know many men are insecure about baldness. My husband has the opposite issue, he has so much hair I wish he’d share!

May 29, 2013 at 9:06 amLOL! That’s funny. It does often seem to be one way or another!!
Pam says
May 29, 2013 at 9:05 amMy husband needs this! We met when I was 18 so I have watched him lose hair slowly over the years. He doesn’t seem worried about it though. lol
Susan says
May 29, 2013 at 10:26 amI am glad there were good results, my hubby would love this.
Janel C says
May 29, 2013 at 2:48 pmHaha, love that you loved him through his mustache phase! too funny!
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
May 29, 2013 at 3:02 pmHe tried to just comb it in a way “he” thought hid the balding, but he looked like an idiot so I made him go cut it all off completely. Some guys are just too far gone to be helped, but I have heard really good things about this brand!

May 29, 2013 at 4:25 pmOMG that mustache!! Too funny. My husband has too MUCH hair, but he’s only 25 so give it some time. His Dad has a bald spot so I’m sure it’ll happen!
Jennifer says
May 29, 2013 at 5:16 pmI would also like to add that the mustache pic is from LAST YEAR… not 1970-something. LOL!

May 29, 2013 at 10:39 pmhaha!!
My husband isn’t near balding yet but I feel I should bookmark this for later down the road. Is that bad? lol
Jennifer says
May 30, 2013 at 7:58 amNot bad at all! Us women have our products, the men can have theirs, too. 😉
Angela says
May 29, 2013 at 5:41 pmIt’s nice that there are products like this out there for those who want them, although a bald head doesn’t bother me a bit.
Beeb says
May 29, 2013 at 10:38 pmLOL at the “Loving him through the mustache phase”! You guys are a great couple. So cute!
Dawn Lopez says
May 29, 2013 at 10:49 pmThese sound like great products! My hubby has a lot of hair, but I know he fears the future.. not knowing where it will lead. My step-father has been mostly bald forever, he really embraces it well too!
Love your hub’s mustache, too funny!
JulieK says
May 29, 2013 at 10:59 pmhaha mustache phase – love it! I think all men go thru that. My hubby absolutely can’t GROW a mustache so he does oddball goatee things. 🙂 It’s so nice that men have a way to extend their hair growth and repair loss these days. I know that balding is probably one thing most men DO care about when it comes to their looks…
Heather Bridson says
May 30, 2013 at 5:24 pmOne of my friends has been balding since he was 20. This is a great idea for him!
Kami Dumis says
May 30, 2013 at 11:13 pmMy brother is balding and is very self conscious about it. I emailed him this review! TY so much for the great review.
Carrie Phelps says
May 31, 2013 at 4:58 amThis makes me giggle! I think the bald look is great, just shave the rest of it off.
Jennifer says
May 31, 2013 at 7:56 amI agree with that, too! Love the look of a bald head. My hubby claims he has a dent in his head from being born with forceps…and therefore, could not successfully rock a bald head. I think he’s just paranoid!
Sylvia Zajis says
June 1, 2013 at 6:01 amYou sound like a very supportive wife. It is wonderful that you have the products available for him at his comfort level of not really talking about it but you don’t force the situation. I have not heard of these products before so thank you for sharing.
Marina says
June 1, 2013 at 10:31 amLOVE this post!! I loved my husband even through his mouche phase and yes, actually prefer him with the balding look. There’s just something about the look that I lurv!
sandy weinstein says
June 2, 2013 at 12:27 pmpersonally, i am not a bald fan. however, if you love the person and they went bald….so be it, you still love them….there are so many products around claiming to help…not sure they are worth the money….when i had some surgery many yrs ago, i lost alot of my hair in the front. i used and have used nioxon products for many yrs…it has helped, however, i am female….and people can lose hair caused by drugs and surgery….
Jaime Lester says
June 3, 2013 at 1:01 amSounds like good stuff, but my hubby is quite happy as a bald man, and I don’t think that he would go for it! He likes to feel the wind on his head when we are riding the bike!
