OT: Hair loss at 20 how to reconcile :(

Actually I find that girls do not pay attention to men's hairstyle a lot. Instead other tons of things are more important to them.

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't posted in the thread for a while. I really appreciate all the replies, support, and even jokes. My hair isn't extremely bad but it's pretty bad

. Example being you can't see my scalp unless my hair's wet, I don't take a shower for a long time and it's oily, or if a direct light is being shined at it. I'm going to ask my doc to give me propecia, along with the hair solution, and I'll see how far that and the special shampoo takes me. I love my Knicks family and I'm glad I'm not alone with this. Have an awesome day fellas.

Thanks.

First of all we need Pics

Secondly, just wear an extra thick NBA Headband like Lebron

Haha I'd be hella roasted I'm a typical Indian looking dude. I'll post pics later today if I can with direct light on my scalp so you guys can maybe give a better insight.

Could be the Knicks game too stressful?

And now the Knicks rebuild and we can step back to watch, no pressure at all~ :p

My dude... I share sympathy, I went through a rough patch in my life where I was in the hospital over an injury, family problems, violnce issues and rapid weight loss which took such a tole on my body that I lost a ton of hair in a 1 year span, thinned out completely.. You can run from it or run to it.

Bic that **** and own it. Own it like you love being bald. The first 6 months I was bald I was extremely embaressed and didn't show it to females.. that was my biggest regret. I know it's hard, and I'm 21 now, saying this..

Live in the gym. Eat clean as hell. Everything your not makes you everything you are today. Become a true alpha male and reciprocate the love of yourself, and own who you are. Straight up.

What kind of haircut would you recommend? I'm crowning but the rest of my hair is fine. My hairline isn't rescinding it's a Manu Ginobili type of situation

Grow your hear long and fold it over the top. Nobody will notice.

Better cut it short. Find the right hairstylist.

The harder you cover the top the more obvious it is.

Best advice I can give you is shave your head. Don't be that guy

I think I might have started to lose my hair due to stress? I'm in school now and I consistently tax my CNS because I'm a competitive kickboxer as well, which probably causes more stress. I eat healthy but I noticed I shed a lot more when I'm in a caloric deficit, I follow If It Fits Your Macros but I eat healthy fats, carbs, and protein. I use to smoke cigarettes and I recently quit. However I still smoke marijuana, before I take s^%& for that it's common in my culture and I got addicted early. I recently found out I have a gluten intolerance so could that have an impact on it too? I also noticed some bumps on my head as well. I saw a doctor while I was visiting Amsterdam during new years and I live in Canada so seeing a derm takes 2 months notice (universal healthcare? )

The doctor in the Netherlands recommended me some solution called alpicort plus? Has anyone tried that and I started using some hair thinning shampoo, like it increases the volume, but it's recommended for woman -_-. I'm thinking about using olive oil on my hair overnight for the dandruff I have and to make my hair more healthy and what not. Then I would use the alpicort during the day since it doesn't smell bad or make my hair too greasy. Anyone have any advice am I doing anything wrong other than the smoking (which probably doesn't have anything to do with it I'm guessing)?

I know it's dumb to turn to the internet but I'm really stressed out this and I don't wanna lose my hair before turning 21. I've seen a few doctors already and the derm I saw in my city has terrible reviews, so I'm seeing one in Vancouver in March. I also use to take accutane from 2012 to 2013 and I heard it causes some temporary hair loss as well? But the dr. I saw in the Netherlands said it wasn't a likely cause. I feel really lost and depressed because of this any advice would help. Thanks.

Why fight it? I used to have a head of thick rich black hair. I shaved it off because I liked the look... I tried growing it back in a few years ago at the request of a woman (an old flame from high school) and it is thin now.

Screw it, its hair. I shaved it back off and I don't care either way. It is hair, its not me.

Embrace your baldness man, own it.

What is your facial hair situation like? You could always go for one of the more subtler comb overs...

Or you can just shave your head, grow out your bead, and get built like The Rock.

Bosley is pricey...I think it depends on on the severity of baldness. But Maybe 15k or more. Check out realself(dot)com for people who go through the same thing and are thinking of surgery.

When it started to happen to me I lost confidence, blamed parents and then god. Still blame both btw.

Just shave it. Women love it. Again, I see studies, a few years ago about women loving guys who shave their heads. It's simply a biological thing. Women are attracted to guys with chest hair, pubic, facial hair as it is a sign of maturity and fertility. So are bald guys as it means he's mature and a man. Even in porn watching habits, women love older men. One of the higher search terms for women even above a big meat sausage.

Shave it off. You could be fat, skinny, black, white, or indian. It's okay you'll get the puss@y, probably even more so. Losing confidence is natural and I am sure once in a while people take shots at you. Like everything else, just ignore it and believe me girls will be even more sexually attracted to you.

Aside from a long list of other health benefits, vitamin D3 is a DHT blocker. DHT is considered a major reason that many or most men lose their hair.

I love having my head buzzed down to stubble, so if I were going bald I would do the micro pigmentation. It looks great on that guy in the video

It looks like he tattooed his head. If my hair loss gets really bad I will probably opt for a hair transplant, then just have a layered haircut.

you'd think they would have figured this this sh"t out by now. Hair transplants look stupid as hell. Out of the technological advancements that have been accomplished in the past 50 years...I mean the whole balding industry is just a big shame. F*cking FDA is whack.

I'm 33 and it seems unlikely they'll cure baldness in my lifetime..lol But I guess we as a society, is where the cure lays. Maybe in 1000 years will move past caring how we look as humans just so we can repopulate the earth. Sh*tty ass adversiting industry is horrible. lets all worship models and movie starts. Man, we've got a long long long way to go as a species!
