Post Some great advice I got

Earlier when I had posted, I received some great advice from another member, and I truly forget who that member was...

But here is the advice:

"Do not decide to get a hair transplant until you are at least 30 years of age"

I thought over this, and I think it's wonderful advice, because by 30, maybe your priorities will change, maybe you'll come to accept the hair loss, or maybe maturity will just make you feel like you are one of the many millions worldwide with hairloss.

I didn't realize I was losing my hair until I was 31.5 because prior to that, I really just never noticed it was getting thin. I mentioned in my intro post that I can tell from pics that I've been losing it slowly over the course of what is now probably 4.5 years.

I think it all depends on when and how long it takes and to what extent as well as life goings on. I've never had a long term girl and I'm starting to want one

Its been almost a year now for me...hair seems to be thinner, but I'm also not getting it cut quite as short anymore so the thinness will be more obvious. I think that might have been a mistake - I was paranoid and wanted it kept a bit longer to cover it up, but I kind of lulz feel bad about having switched to a stylist and now feel like going back to the barber. Asking a stylist to just cut it really short just seems dumb. The idea behind a stylist is, well, to style. If theres not much to style after the cut why go to one?

I'm thinking of holding out until spring next year and then going for broke and getting it buzzed real close and seeing how she feels and looks.

Not sure how old you are but there will also be better alternatives by the time you're 30.

we're in an age where baldness is getting researched by many, it's being understood much more and the reversal/cure is on the horizon.

I agree, and I'm waiting for the Brimotprost treatment to come out, or some sort of topical to reverse hairloss, if possible.

Well I agree in waiting but only if you're on fin, otherwise your hair will go to shit. If I had the cash I would probably go for the HT, but that's just me.

What is the point of being the ugly duckling all throughout your prime? Go hard in your twenties. Work out, get aesthetics, get plastic surgery if you need it, get the hair transplant, then by thirty none of it will even matter as much before you'll have your dream girl.

Besides, by the time you're thirty there will be better treatments almost certainly.

It's called "having your cake and eating it too", and it's what I plan on doing.

Don't let the NW7's fool you. There are a huge amount of slick bald, fat haters on this website that subconsiously don't want other people being more aesthetic or having more hair than them. The kind that talk about "youthful hairlines on older people looking weird".

Pathetic.

Highlander, perhaps you are correct. I feel so depressed bout my hairloss....perhaps, like you say, I SHOULD get a hair transplant. I'm just so scared of the white dot scars from FUE....

I believe you can get a 'test' session with FUE, where they try and transplant a few grafts to see how your body reacts to it. It'd mean you'd have to pay more, but it might be worth it if you're really worried.

I've not seen a single photo that shows the white dots with hair.

What I mean is, you simply can't see them if you have super short hair. If you were completely bald maybe they could be seen.

Are you European (white)? If so, that will hide it even moreso.

AND DON'T FORGET! Dr Gho can do HT's without scarring. So if you were really worried about the white dots you could even get Gho to transplant into the scarring.

What are you waiting for? Get dem aesthetics brah.

Thank you BGP and Highlander for your comments....Yes a test sounds good, and also, I feel that since my skin is brown(it'll show up more)...plus I don't have super donor hair....


So, just confused...
