The Shaved Head

[geminidb8]

It is true though. Bald does not look good period. It happens and people say accept it. So does body odor but we cover it up with anti persperant or deodorant. I saw some bald guys with a shaved head at the gym the other day and what a shame. They did look awful. Truth is truth. If one wants to say accept this then I should go out with my penis hanging out and say Accept it this is great! Bald needs a cure not acceptance. It is ugly and disfiguring. Sad but true. For those who want to lie then tell yourself it is. Just don't take a lie-detector test. I felt this way 30 years ago and still feel the same today.

I'll probably go to a psychiatrist about my bad attitude when they find a cure

The shaved head does indeed look terrible on most people. Acceptance with regards to baldness should mean accepting you are what you are and you're allowed to detest your outward appearance. Shaving your head and saying you look great is not acceptance - it's just another form of denial.

My approach to baldness is on the one hand hate it, on the other hand work on the inside to be successful. Perhaps the most important thing is working for yourself and working alone - you get far less discrimination that way.

Bald looks stupid on most people. Like 95% of people. I am very athletic and fit but my head would look absolutely terrible if I shaved it...absolutely CRAP.
A lot of people have these tiny heads and big bodies so shaving the head would look really bad... balding just looks a million times worse than if you have a full head of hair.

Wow...helpful not even a bit! Although it's "your" perspective! Why promote these ideas? At least try being less harsh and use more appropriate adjectives!
The poor guy, reading this with the freshly shaved head...

This is "ACTUALLY" something people have control over.
So dude, you made a good first point!
Half of one appearance is their self confidence and attitude!

A clown nose looks stupid on most people...bald just takes some getting use to!!!
Think about it, Bruce Willis looks odd now, if he has hair on!

My point is, this for many is for a largely about acceptance! So making comments like: most people, 95%, stupid, crap...etc.
Is not helpful and yeah, you got it...really "STUPID"!

Think of all the money, self esteem and trouble. Having a general "better attitude" for self as others could save for everyone related!!

^thats awesome news...


I hope it does something similar for me...

Seriously, if you get a hair transplant now you'll end up with weird bald patches in unnatural places by the time you're thirty.

For guys like us who began balding early, hair transplants won't work. Propecia will still give up on you after about 10 years of use, and then a massive shed tends to be the result. You'll end up looking like Joe Biden.

The laser comb really doesn't work and rogaine is useless on frontal recession.

I use dutasteride and it keeps what I have, but the dam will break sooner or later!

The only thing that reduces the misery of my hair loss is refusing to pass it on. I hate the gene with a passion and I take a huge amount of satisfaction that I'm going to kill the bastard.

going to have to call a big timeout on that one. Rogaine Foam nearly regrew my hairline to the extent that it was when I was like 18 years old. I mean it's almost fully back. *knock on wood* I hope it lasts....

I'll even upload pics.

I don't see why not. Native Americans used to eat saw palmetto for food. But don't sue me if I'm wrong, I'm not a doctor!

[KeepTheHair]

Ah, ok.


Is it a good idea to take both saw palmetto AND propecia?


Do you have AIM/MSN/SKYPE?

You could try a company called Healthspan for saw palmetto. They're very good.

For beta sitosterol, you need to try and find a cholestorol lowering drug. It's often the main ingredient in one of those. Just make sure you don't have low cholestorol first!

What are some good online sites to buy this? The stuff online here have weird names like.

Prostate Enlargement pills lol

I'm not that much of a fan of rogaine to be honest. I think it works to an extent, but not to the extent that justifies the cost, regardless of how low the current price is.

Definitely get on propecia though. Whilst you're waiting for it to arrive, get saw palmetto and beta sitosterol. Whilst studies are limited, anecdotal evidence is generally positive and they should adjust your body to propecia. It's also better than taking nothing.

[KeepTheHair]

Sucks, most stuff will be too late though...I wish i had gotten on propecia like a year or 2 ago...

Will try to get on it soon.

Haven't gotten my rogaine yet.

[Fixed by 35]

I think the cure is coming soon. I want to set up some sort of news moniter for all the reputable research companies, such as Histogen, Follica, Aderans and TRX-2.

I've also heard that Dr Woods, the Australian guy who developed FUE, is looking at the possibility of splitting hairs (so you'd get two for one, double the doner density). I don't know if there's anything in that rumour.

[KeepTheHair]

Yeah yeah I know.


But I am just saying, once I have been on rogaine and propecia for awhile and it is not working that great...then I might try a hairtrainsplant just to fill in what I have lost and so.

Anything that helps helps...

I know I am probably too young for that right now.

I strongly advise you to think more carefully about getting a HT. Reputable hair restoration surgeons would probably turn you away at the door for having unrealistic expectations...

[KeepTheHair]

It takes MUCH less hair follicles to look better than you think dude...really go give it a try IMO or just look at some before and afters of younger balding people. Just delay it for now and do what you can NOW and just make it as best as possible until future solutions arise

You'll end up looking like Joe Biden.

What's wrong with looking like Joe Biden? He's a handsome dude!
