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

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.

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.

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.

[yeahyeahyeah]

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!

Try having a ridiculous head shape and aggressive MPB.

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

IMO your hair looks fine

Maybe there is something else going on in your life that causes you to be depressed and focus on an issue that to others doesn't exist .

Yeah, I kinda gotta concur what the others said. I mean, you're pushing 30, you're not a kid anymore. People are free to choose whatever lifestyle they want, but it's a fact that around your/our age the majority of people - both men/women, bald and hairy - choose to settle down. So I thought your fear of "not wanting to become the bald settled down type" was rather striking.

I think you're more alarmed about entering a new life-phase and possibly entering a 'quarterlife-crisis' than your hair.

A lot of people get married later too.

I broke up with my gf who I wanted to marry. Shit happens. And as long as I am single , I am on the market. Also with the way the economy is I am still forging my career, I need to have everything going for me. Hairloss is a headache I don't need.

Losing hair is like losing your identity. Do you think women would like it if they lost theirs?
