I was hesitant too when I was considering fin. I was thinking the same thoughts you are. Eventually, I hit a breaking point and couldn't deal with it anymore. I'm a very depressed person and being bald on top of everything would have been the end of me. Now I'm on duta and doing okay downstairs so far.Comment

I've always felt like I knew who I was meant to be and losing my hair makes me feel like I was wrong and I don't have a chance of becoming anything. It's really sad. I don't know if I will ever be able to move past this. I'm not looking for sympathy or anything like that but it's good to get it out somehow.Comment

Actually someone made a comment about Billy's music heading down hill after he went bald, but who knows. I get what you are saying, but image is quite important for music even though it shouldn't be

Better to be the guitar player with the bald head than the one with the wispy thin hair no? Satriani,Nick Oliveri, Kerry King, Billy Corgan, Moby, Michael Stipe, Fred Durst all baldies, all good musicians with plenty of fans (maybe not Fred Durst lol). Yes the stereotypical rock star has the long locks but if its not happening its not happening, so may as well try and rock the bald musician look no? Better than being the "wispy" guitarist, or the "balding" guitarist. Just my two cents, I used to play the bass all through my twenties, unfortunately don't really get the time to do it now and the shaved head never really impeded my image or the bands image. I have a friend who still plays in a band and he's a complete slick norwood seven at age 34, he's a guitarist in a metal band and looks the part.Comment

Thanks Aames, good advice, best of luck.
Baldness works in metal, but rock/blues/soul -which is what I play- not so much...Comment

I am no doctor and not qualified to give medical advice, and the advice I am about to give regardless could mess up your life, but:
Take finasteride. Every day.Comment

Then, all of a sudden, I notice recession. No biggy, I'm getting older. Then It starts thinning and continuing to recede. I'm suddenly drenched in fear and hopelessness. Took me a solid 4 months to learn to cope, bounce back to my normal self, and invest what little hope I had in finasteride.
I swear, my shedding is almost non existent since I started 8 days ago (aside from the 2nd day, when I shed like a mofo). Maybe fin isn't supposed to work that fast, but I swear I got a little bit of a nut ache and the shedding stopped. Could be a placebo effects; I don't know. But, I really have hope now, and the sides are thus far non-existent. I'm by no means trying to persuade you to take fin - you know the risks and need to make the decision yourself. I'm simply saying I felt like shit for a short while, bounced back, and made an educated decision. I'm sure you'll do the same for yourself.
Good luck, compadre.Comment

I used to feel like this and I still do. I'd love to get my hair back and style it, cut it, j*** on it, whatever I used to do with it.
But at the same time, I've kinda accepted I'm never going to get that hair back. It just won't. I've left it too long and well that's it. The most I'd accept is a more packed buzz because I prefer it this short as it's hassle free.
Failing that I'll go 0 guard. At the moment it's getting people to get used to me with short hair and having it look so sparse in the middle, I think once that journey has finished, I'll be a bit more relaxed about hair loss.Comment
