listen there is no point in pretending - appearance is the most important, then health and finally money to maintain bothWell you cant blame people for being a little pessimistic. Also if they have advanced thinning, drugs only do so much. NOW I do feel people should not let it ruin their lives. Especially their healthy younger years. Because before they know it, there will be worse probelms headed ones way, much much worse than balding. 20 to 40 is a very short and FAST time. 40 to 50 flys by. Major health issues begin for A LOT of people in their 50's or earlier especially those who dont take care of themselves. A complete mental break down and depression over hairloss for years straight until one is 40 or 50 is not doing them any favors...sure it sucks but no ones life is perfect even if we think it is....
Anyhow the amount of negativeness and depression I see here over hairloss is sad. People need to break out of the cycle and as you say...USE THE TOOLS AVAILABLE to you. Drugs, hair transplant or even topix. Whatever gets one through the day for years. But one thing is for sure not everyone can get or have a super thick head of hair. I have to continually remind my brother of this. He constanly remembers his hair as something it wasnt. Even when he was 20.lol Maintain a full look the best you can but dont chase something that was never there to begin with.( We both always had dry fine wavy hair and he constantly wants hair like Kurt Russel...)
