Depressed with hair loss, so I killed an entire extra large pizza and 3 cokes.

[greatjob!]

For the last F*CKING time will you please STFU with all of your over the top comments!! The only reason hairloss is affecting your life negatively is because you are F*CKING mental!! You have perfect hair!! Stop playing the victim and pretending your life is ruined!!



Here let me do you a favor and show you what someone looks like that is truly effected negatively by hairloss.



That's me at age 24 after being duped into a hair transplant of only 800+ grafts that obviously couldn't do anything for me. The only thing I got out of it was a big scar that made it impossible for me to shave down. So I got to walk around like this for the last 6 years.

You come on to this forum with a perfect head of hair and freak out because you think you can't spike your hair up anymore. Awww boo hoo! Grow up and stop being so damn shallow and superficial!! You are the biggest tool on this forum!!

[yeahyeahyeah]

Try having a ridiculous head shape and aggressive MPB.

We are all in the same boat, MPB has affected me.

[BigThinker]

To add, I wish I could buzz my hair, but again , whenever my hair is very short, I have people tell me 'grow your hair, it doesn't suit your face' - I can't win!

yeahyeahyeah, do you truly beleive going from nw0 to nw2 has that big an impact on your looks? If it does, that in itself is a little troubling. I dunno, maybe your one of those guys where hair is a big part of what makes them look good.

OR, is it just the anxiety of losing more hair? If you knew your loss was completely stopped i dont think you would be on here.

Even now my hair looks like shit and impacts my looks a bit, but id be happy with just stopping the loss above a nw3 and calling it a day.

Make money, get a HT when you need, your done lol

Both, and yeah it has. Especially with the temple points going. Not only does my forehead look longer, but by losing my temple points, my facial proportions are slightly out of whack now as I have a long wide forehead. This becomes very apparent if my fringe is cut too short or if I push my hair up. Sadly, the hairstyle which really suited me was one where my hair is pushed up - my ex girlfriend always used to ask me why I never did it. She often used to say to me, you have such thick hair, why don't you style it better. When you have a sharp V and push it up, you end up having a fauwhawk, which on me looks ridiculous.

Other girls used to also compliment my hair a lot more when I was able too style it better, it is frustrating not being able to do so as I used to be told that I was handsome.

It also doesn't help that because I've lost temple /hairline hair. With my hair not framing my face properly, I have heard on occasions, that my hair looks weird. Meaning that to AVOID this I often have to spend hours trying to get my hair styled well. In the old days I wouldn't even think about this. Now in comparison I am self conscious when I am out and about - often doing many bathroom checks during the day in case the wind has exposed my hairline.

I have indeed been thinking about getting a hair transplant and moving on. This is what i want to do. But due to a lack of decent safe treatments, I am holding back out of the fear I lose more hair. The whole hairloss problem if I am honest causes me a lot of anxiety.

My whole life has changed due to hairloss to be honest. Before when I used to get depressed, I was more hopeful about the future because I had my looks. Now, I feel under a lot more pressure to become successful due to the fear in becoming that bald, loser type. Or that bald type that settles.


Frankly, I have become bitter as there are family members who are older that have no signs of hairloss. Due to my looks as well, I feel like I have a sell by date. So I am feeling the pressure to find a partner whilst I have decent hair.

You may be fine for a long long time. But start keeping an eye on things when you are hitting your mid-late 30's.

Hopefully by then there will be more effective drugs by then.

7 years till 35. Year 2020

If they don't have newer treatments by then. It will be like:

What.the.****.

[mpb47]

I know. I can tell you my story bud.

My hair wasnt as good as yours but I was never 'going bald' . My hair loss was so slow that it only became a liability at age 35 really. Even then I had a relatively 'full head of hair' .

That is the mistake I made. It will probably never happen to you but if I could go back I would start taking fin at age 20 unless there were drastic side effects

I hear good things about Histogen. Cant wait to see what it can do.

Dunno mate.

If you actually read about the stories on here of those that are high norwoods, they all lost it in their teens.

Like greatjob, fred, dannyboyy 7 etc

And often, they suffered from diffuse thinning. If they have recession, they don't seem to have sharp Vs either, it's more of a wedgy U type of recession.

Guys who lose it around my age (from what I have seen anyway), tend to keep it till their 40s; Sting, Ralph Fiennes or like that poster mpb48 or their recession completely stop with the slight recession being their final NW pattern. (John Terry)

I think the age, type of hairloss (bald patch, diffuse thinning) is probably a bigger determiner for how fast a guy would lose it. Diffusers and those with bald spots lose it the quickest.

Ideally histogen comes out in the next 5 years. Then I can top up with that and restore my temples.

I do not know him or if his life is ruined.

If his life is ruined it's because of mental problems not hair loss. No reasonable person could look at his hair and think it justifies his outlandish comments. If I was 6' 0" and claiming my life was ruined because I wasn't 6'6" and playing in the NBA would you think that was the statement of a reasonably sane person?

[greatjob!]

TBH have full blown hairloss is more likely then getting cancer.

And my problem is comparison to yours is getting a finger chopped off. And yes I dont want my hand chopped off, getting the finger chopped off is bad enough.

You completely missed the point of my analogy, probably because you are so detached from reality.

And no in comparison to people who have actually suffered from hairloss and "had their hand cut off", you have maybe clipped your finger nail too short, stop being an over dramatic cry baby girl!

[yeahyeahyeah]

No I have had my hand chopped off and you only think you have had your hand chopped off, but in reality you are just worried that at some point your hand might be chopped off.

A good analogy would be if I went onto a cancer patient forum and since a certain cancer runs in my family I go onto that forum and cry about how my life is ruined and I live in fear because, although I am currently not effected to any degree, I am worried that one day I might end up like all of the people on that forum, it's insulting.

So for the last time, I'm telling you that it is perfectly ok for you to come on this forum and stay up to date with new treatments, talk about current treatments, or discuss your current situation while staying within the realm of reality, but please do not tell people who have actually been severely effected by hairloss that your life is ruined and you live in fear when you have a perfect head of hair. That is the heart of my problem with you, stop being so melodramatic because 99% of the people on this forum would literally kill someone for your hair, and when you say your life is ruined it only makes us want to kill you, get a grip and grow some f*cking balls!!!!!

yeahyeahyeah. I can not tell if your hair is the same as 2010 from those pics. If it is you are a lucky SOB

Well does it look different?

Reading is not a strong point with most people on this forum. No one here has said he shouldn't be concerned, he has every right to be concerned and be a member here if he feels like he his losing his hair.

The problem lies with his outlandish comments about his life being ruined and living in fear. If you think that his life is ruined because of his perfect head of hair or that he should be living in fear, then you're just as crazy as he is.

BTT is a good place to vent about this, the only place for many

& I do not know him or if his life is ruined. However a visible decline in appearance can be pretty life ruining.

[greatjob!]

At the end of the day let me use an analogy.

You have had your hand chopped off, I have had my finger chopped off.

One is worse then other, but both are shit.

Like just now I had a photo taken with my bangs not covering my forehead, I looked shit.

No I have had my hand chopped off and you only think you have had your hand chopped off, but in reality you are just worried that at some point your hand might be chopped off.
