True. Even old men/middle aged men who wear hats to cover their baldness, have moved on unhappily. Which is why they cover it and aren't really comfortable showing their bald heads around. To me, that's not accepting it. Wigs, hair tattoos, none of this is "accepting it", you did something about it.
Accepting MPB and moving on is Stone Cold Steve Austin, Vin Diesel, Dana White (President of UFC), Floyd Mayweather Jr (pro boxer), Andre Agassi, Albert Pujols (MLB), John Statham, I could go on and on. These guys have moved on. And even though one can say "Well they're rich as hell, they are not going to care about baldness" I agree 100% that money has a lot to do with them being able to stay happy even with going through baldness, but just as there are celebs/athletes who move on, they are many more who just won't accept it.

I have many bald friends who have accepted the fact that they are bald. in a way i'm kind of bummed i didnt go bald really early on in life, because those who did are much more at ease with it. Do they love it? nope. Do they really care? most of them don't. The smarter/richer/most accomplished/fitter ones care much less. My ex girlfriend is hot and just married one of the baldest dudes I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure that while he might be all for a cure, he doesn't give two shits or spend any of his day worrying about his baldness. I know some other bald guys who, and i quote, wouldn't even pay a hundred bucks for a cure, they like how they look after getting used to it. Most of the guys on here seem to be pretty young, and as a slightly older guy, let me tell you, unless you want to be sad your whole life, you have to at least try to gain some level of acceptance, and not waste your life dedicated to the pursuit of hating this problem. Science will definitely find a way to ameliorate this and other very complex genetic problems, hell they'll probably even stop aging at some point, but all of it is very tied up in things that we are nowhere even close to figuring out. If we do, wonderful! but until then whats the point of feeling shitty every day?
Also, the fact that I'm curious about results isn't ironic at all. I'd love it if something worked to slow balding. I don't put any stock in any of these treatments though, they just don't seem to really get at the real problem, and while I may check into this forum to see if there's something that can help me look better for a while, I also wouldn't be on here all the time. it seems really unhealthy. UK Ive read some of your posts and you seem very young, very immature, and settled on ruining your happiness over this. I have days like that too, hell even months. But it's a long road to nowhere, if you would rather be dead then you would have killed yourself, so while you're alive and there's no real cure anywhere near in sight, you should try to build acceptance skills, because it is possible. Lots of people have much worse genetic defects or health problems and while they may not like them, they do accept them. just look at the dalai lama, that dude is bald as **** and he's happy as **** too.Leave a comment:

Accepting baldness is impossible, it will always be in the back of your mind somewhere at some point.Leave a comment:

I think we'll see a lot of people reporting on progress, results and positive notes on CB within the next few months, and early 2014Leave a comment:

any results?
Anyone have anything to report vis a vis CB? To me this seems to be the only new topical (or treatment in general besides propecia- those histogen, replicel, follica joints haven't come up with jack) with any potential for slowing down hair loss.Leave a comment:

Bro, you should at least contacted Iron Dragon and ask them for a refund by sending it back to them as it works sometimes. My friend here is waiting for the second batch to reach to him, can you tell me how does the bottle look like and how the texture of the liquid is? Just a mini description please!Leave a comment:

Sorry I cant do that, I got rid of it at a local chemical disposal unit.
Yes, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD dont throw chemicals/drugs down the freaking toilet or dump them into the environment - ive seen people on here make posts where they state they've thrown FIN/DUT etc etc down the toilet which is environMENTAL suicide.
I know most people from the UK are informed about this as we get council warnings every few years (even about spilling fats down the sink which is also ****ing retarded).Leave a comment:

As I understand it, the ethanol dissolves it and the PG makes it work, so it would depend whether the lower quantity of ethanol was anywhere near saturation for either compound. Which not being a chemist I couldn't say.
Update for week 3: my front density seems improved. That 'wince' when you notice skin through a thin bit isn't happening so much. Crown area is harder to analyse since I only look at it via two mirrors every other day. That said, it's definitely not summer anymore so could conceivably also be the light.Leave a comment:

I'm cautiously optimistic. Looks much the same but of course, you'd have to reactivate the dead/dormant hairs first and then grow them, so that's weeks away. Shedding is down, libido intact, so great.
I was also thinking that 2% minox might be more effective for dissolving CB than 5% if it's farther away from saturation point. I can't know that without the formulation for each, nonetheless that's why I chose 2% for my mixture.
