If baldness only affected Women, do you think we would have a cure by now?

[UK_]

IDK, man. I feel like my hair is getting worse. Yeah, being on propecia makes me feel a bit better, but without results I wonder if I shouldn't just be allowing my DHT to go crazy. I really think I have T-related hair loss or reflex hyperandrogenity (sp), because it just doesn't look or feel better.

I seriously have a ridiculous head shape too. It feels like the clock is ticking.

You know I had that... I know exactly what you mean... 3 weeks into FIN I experienced an incredible sex drive, I also had slight acne on my back... and my hair line looked like absolute shit, it felt as if I was experiencing steroid related hair loss... a week later my sex drive hit rock bottom and all the sides hit me, I guess that was when my hair should have started improving too...

But you need to give it 12 months... your hair cycling may be different so in 2 months you may have a massive propecia-induced 'return growth' of the shedded hairs, and they will be thicker and stronger.

Is damaging your hormones really worth it just to have hair? im not trying to judge it is just my opinion ...i mean i understand everyones pain i really REALLY do...but still is it worth it? it's not like it is a one of thing you take the pill and you are cured...you have to keep taking it...i mean what ever makes you guys happy but is it truely worth it?

Well f**king said.

It's hard for me to speak on behalf of men different ages, but at 25 hair matters still. At the bar a few months ago, I saw a cute girl take a cap off of a guy to put it on her head in an endearing way, see his diffusion, cringe, quickly put the cap back on his head, and slowly walk away, leaving the dude in absolute pain. I actually know the kid pretty well; it was sooo hard to watch, and all the while I knew I was on the same path to the same outcome.

That's humiliating, I imagine how hard it is to recover from that situation.

Does anybody have those moments when they think back to the days when they were NOT EVEN AWARE of their hair loss?

Mine was 17 - 19... wow... what a time... what a magical time.

Lucky you, mine was 15 years old.

[DannyBoyy7]

Lucky you, mine was 15 years old.

I was 15 aswell all i know is at that age there was no signs of hairloss...no thoughts of any kind about hairloss for obvious reasons...until that one day where i could see something wasnt right when i was getting my haircut at 16.

"Show me one man who lost hair in his teens / early twenties and thought "Im not too bothered by this" and I'll show you a real life unicorn."



When i started losing my hair at 16 i obviously cared i cared until i was 18...then i stopped caring about it now im 21 now you might say "then why you here if you dont care" simple to try my best to help others....now can i see that unicorn?

Nope.

[DannyBoyy7]

Nope.

Oh i see you want someone who didnt care at all right? from the first signs of hairloss until the dreaded horse shoe...apparently someone who was a teen when they stopped caring is not good enough for some reason...oh well.

What are you talking about? You seem to have gone off on a tangent by yourself, my original point was that hairloss bothers everyone to begin with, nobody starts losing hair and is completely okay with it including you, you may have come to terms with it quickly but at the start you cared you said so yourself so my original point stands.

But your comment didnt say that it said "Show me one man who lost hair in his teens / early twenties and thought "Im not too bothered by this" and I'll show you a real life unicorn."...that says to me show me a teen who was losing hair in their teens and dont care...i didnt care when i was 19...like i said now i know what you ment but you didnt make it clear to begin with.

Okay well glad we`re on the same page now

Lucky you, mine was 15 years old.

Mine was 23. Lying in bed with this chick and she told me how thick my hair was as she ran her hand through it. She had blonde, naturally thin hair, and I could tell she found my thick hair a desirable trait. I remember thinking, "man, I hit the jackpot in the hair department" and "so happy you inherit your hair from your mom's side, so I don't have to be bald like my dad - I don't know what I'd even do". I felt so good about myself. Now I've fast-tracked to NW2.5 since then and it's been a tough pill to swallow.

I guess I should just appreciate I got to rock hair until 23 and also appreciate I have some treatment options.

You'd have to do what you need to do:

Shave it, get a tan and get jacked enough that it's a distraction from your hair loss... a tall order, I must say.

Some people can't get jacked because of their morphology and no form of tanning is healthy.

People say those things like it's the simplest thing to do, you know, just get jacked!

Not true. Excessive tanning is unhealthy.
