Just shave your pubes, glue them up there and spend the rest of your cash on hunting gear.

I'll be around all day if you need more life advice.

I need more life advice. Please....go on.

Do you have other unattractive features?

I got em all. Bald, hairy, glasses, short.

Just shave it

But you more than make up for it with your winning personality.

If you use the OTC minox shampoos and whatnot I'm certain you must use them for life or the growth you see might recede back to what it is now no?

Started losing mine my senior year in highschool! Had no idea until people started pointing out my McDonald’s arches. Buzzing with no guard on the clippers by 22 years old and started shaving my dome about 32. My wife bought me one of those electric head shavers about 4 years ago and that has been life changing. Just turned 49 on 07/03.

I wish I could lose some hair.

I had a lovely head of hockey hair that was already thinning a bit as a Jr in HS. Whole hockey team buzzed heads prior to state tourney that year and I haven't had anything but a razor or a buzzer in the 23 years since. It's liberating to never have do shit with your hair, buy shampoo, schedule a trip to the barber, etc.

When you meet your future wife, she'll know what she's getting into up front..

Every once in a while i get a stray thought about what modern tech, plugs, etc might look like now days but the thought of having to mess with hair before going to work quells that curiosity quick.

I tried them when I was younger, only thing it accomplished was making my back look like a gorillas.

I have decided that I cannot in good conscience spend the money required to truly get my hair back as it is purely a vanity/self image thing that I have gotten over (kinda). So far, an assortment of good ball caps is about the only expense I can tolerate.

I am NOT one of the people that can rock a bald head. The good lord blessed me with a massive set of ears that I’ve determined were meant to be tamed with curly locks or balanced with a ball cap.

Bald eagles are just buzzards with hair plugs and a better marketing team. Best spot to see them is the land fill.

Just shave your head and get moderately jacked

Just shave your pubes, glue them up there and spend the rest of your cash on hunting gear.

Pay attention to these guys, this is literally the only good advice in this thread. You really want to be putting cream in your hair and having to pack pills when you travel???

Glue your pubes to your head, get jacked. Be a man.

You can get ball caps with built in ponytails you know….

Lost my hair in my late 20’s, shaved it since I was 30. Still my biggest insecurity that I can’t get over.

There’s nothing wrong with caring about keeping your hair. It’s an uphill battle against Mother Nature though.

Topical minoxidil is easy and safe, it’s just a pain to stay consistent with it. Results will vary.

Low dose oral minoxidil (2.5- 5mg daily for males) has gained a lot of traction over the last several years. More convenient than topical and I feel it’s more effective. Minimal side effect profile.

Oral finasteride or dutasteride (off label) are probably the most efficacious. You can experience sexual dysfunction, so for young male patients, it’s important to bring up. Without getting too far into the weeds either, they can also protect against prostate cancer, but males who happen to develop prostate cancer while on these mass tend to have higher grade carcinoma.

I’m on oral minoxidil and dutasteride. The oral minoxidil kept things at bay, but dutasteride really made a notable difference. I tried the laser cap consistently for 6 months and did not see much appreciable difference (especially comparing photos).

I have an ugly head and prefer to keep it covered for a long as I can haha.

Who has successfully recovered their receding hair line or thinning hair? In my early 20's and have noticed my hair line has receded significantly last few years (probably a result of stress and years of graveyard shift). Overall, the hair I do have is relatively thick and full, just a horrible hairline at the moment.

I want to try and bring my hair back with natural or OTC treatments if possible. Anyone have experience with minoxidil? What else worked for you? I'm too young for this BS.

Brother, take a deep breath and listen to me. Shave that sumbitch

It’s not worth the stress and headspace. Just get/stay in good shape and roll with it

Micro needling can help, so can letting mother nature sunburn the areas that are thinning. Both promote healing, blood circulation etc. There are studies out there and Derek More Plates More Dates talks about it.

Please don’t do this - unless you want to look forward to guys like me removing basal and squamous cell carcinoma from your scalp.

Do you recommend sunscreen too? Which studies also show is terrible for your skin.

That's the only derail I'll leave this thread with. Sunshine is health for the body, scalp included.
