I have AA, I showed it before in other pics, even circled the spots. The point of this haircut was to make it less noticeable. If I let my hair grow normally, the sides will outgrow the top, making the horse shoe pattern of MPB really noticeable, and also making the bald circles more noticeable as well.

I want an HT so bad lol, just don't have the money.

You suit the look, you got the small head, well shaped skull, small ears, defo not the aggressive sorta hairloss, so...
...go live you life!!

Just pop back every so often, to check in with us lot and the next generation 'the cure is just 10 years away' hairloss companies, though impo it's just round the corner!!

...the 5 year corner, haa.

My hairline and top will always bother me, I can't stop coming here lol.

Damn, 10 years away??? Thought it was 2015.

I've let it grow out before. But when I let it grow is when it reminds me how bad my hairloss really is.

Also, mirin' those eyebrows.

I've been accused of plucking/doing my eyebrows since I was a kid several times. I've never touched them. Other than passing down MPB to me, my dad also passed down his eyebrows to me, mine are exactly like his.

Fair enough, different hairloss effects different people suffering with hairloss!
Hell, only this morning i was thinking uhh, hairs looking ok today maybe it's not all that bad, then just now, i mean about 3 minutes ago, i was taking a pic of my cat with me in it (stupidly!!) and then the image flashed up on my phone, call it; bad light or akward angle but shit, there's my hairloss in all it's glory, knocked me off my flow, shit on my parade etc etc, oh man.

People who don't suffer have no idea and i mean they have no idea, so i'm sorry for playing down your situation earlier, only you are concerned with how you feel and others just need to sympathise.

Be it 2015, 2022 whatever, we need something else other than the usual suspects.

Good luck chaps, kind regards

u look fine, patiently waiting. short hair is always better look

[konfusion]

it looks good, as stated before your skull shape is very well balanced so you definitely pull off the look. I wish I had a similar shaped head, unfortunately already being as ugly as one can be in a few years I'll end up with the gollum lookwhen my hair is completely gone

So I attempted to give myself a "military" haircut, to minimize the appearance of my MPB, and possibly to minimize the appearance of my AA. Tell me what you guys think. I just gave myself this haircut right now.











Does it minimize hair loss a bit?

doesn't look bad short. I have the same issue with either Alopecia bald circles or psoriasis, ****in docs couldn't tell me what it was w/o cutting a piece of y head out, so I decided against it. I HAD THIS HUGE BALD SPOT. probably the size of a Silver Dollar on the back right of my head, we're talking not a single hair in the whole circle. I used this Clobex shampoo and Taclonex and it all grew back in like 3 months. It was in a spot that isn't affected by any mpb or thinning though. I could probably dig up a pic of what it looked like.

What are the ingredients in these, Clobex shampoo and Taclonex?
