I'd honestly rather be dead than deal with hair loss

It's explained in the bonuses that they thinned his hair on purpose. Steve Carell never suffered from hair loss.

No, they thinned it MORE for the 1st season of TO but there was already noticeable diffusion. Here he is in 1991 in his first film Curly Sue:

Clear recession of his left temple. He was 29 at the time.

Here is a link to his wikipedia page. The top photo was taken last month:

Very similar, if less extensive, diffusion to what we saw in the first year of TO.

Whatever the merits of your original argument, Steve Carell is a BAD example of scalpal hair retention.

Actually men with lots of body hair are - scientifically proven - 50 % more likely to suffer from hairloss, so there definitely is a correlation. Also Steve Carell is not best example, considering he's highly suspected to be either a wig-wear or have undergone a hairtransplantation. Just look at the first season of the US The office.

When you conjure the likes of Steve Carell and Antonio Banderas as examples of stalwarts against the tide of follicular recession I can only assume you do so in jest. They've both had extensive, obvious, and not particularly effective work done to their hairlines.

No, what I was saying was that estrogenic men, that is, men with wide hips, narrow shoulders, man boobs, unable to grow beard etc. normally don't lose hair. Usually, such men also have fertility problems. And yes, its been scientifically proven that if you castrate a man before puberty, he would never go bald.

That's also pure speculation. A lot of young balding men on the forums complain that they cannot grow a beard and I for example who had the worst hair loss at a young age have almost no body hair at all. Men like Steve Carell or Antonio Banderas are hairy as a wolf yet have not lost a single hair. So there's absolutely no correlation.

Nonsense, there's no evidence to support that ridiculous claim. What do you suggest? Let us all become fat slobs to keep our hair?

Cool another one of those "I'm getting bald and/or grey at 40. I'm so unlucky"-guys. Sorry these threads make me cynical.
Don't get me wrong. I understand going bald is not a ride in the park at any age. It's not fun and it's something unpleasant to having to deal with.
But you're getting 40 in a year or less. What's happening to your hair is not abnormal at that age, sometimes even expected. Most us on this forum went through it in our teens or early 20's when we were like 1 out of 30-40 in our age group and girls and classmates in (nor we ourselves) had a mature outlook on the matter. At 40 (or 39) you're expected to have grown some character to deal with these kind of adversities.

If you really think hairloss and greying hair is a reason for suicide, you really ought to get some perspective.

A man with a full head of hair but fat and with wide hips, has most likely kept his hair due to low testosterone/high estrogen.

Not to mention, older men who are fat, out of shape, terribly unkempt, and have no personalities. Yet despite all this, they have juvenile hairlines. It's more than annoying, it's downright maddening.

Hey man sorry to hear that. I can't even imagine what that feels like.
And to be fair I started losing it in my early 30s. And to top it off, I'm going gray. Yay for me.

It's just so annoying that older men have a full head of hai

I started losing hair when I was only 12 or 13, and I reached NW7 at only 25.

[goldnt]

Ive been losing my hair since I was 17.

Poor you, it must be so hard at 39....I'm so thankful I made it to 22 before I had to shave my head...

Well, sorry to drop the bomb like this, but creatine increases hairloss.
Used to be on creatine aswell 2 years ago, but i began to have heavy itching while training......now i know why.... creatine. Creatine raises DHT and so increases hairloss.

I know, I found that out about mid way through my creatine use. So i've stopped using it.
