All The Horrors Of Losing Hair. Why Can't People Understand?

[blackg]

In terms of people my age In my city of Australia long, messy hair is the norm, very few rock fade cuts or short hair so I'm not too concerned with letting it get a bit out of control.

Y'all sound like ya 10 years behind, my Aussie brother.

This is why I'm grateful to have curly hair, the messiness definitely helps to hide the thinning.



I started losing hair at 16, started to wonder if something was wrong at 18 and I was almost 20 when my dermatologist dropped the diagnosis on me.

Sixteen?

Wow. How did you know your hair was falling out then?

I thought my hairline was receding at 15, that wasn't the case though. It was definitely 19. The reason is, my friend enrolled in hair dressing school told me.

A receding hairline can be grown out, and look semi normal.

That said, It looks bad on guys that have an oval/long shaped head. It doesn't work for them. It's either really short or semi long.

I've read people say "but his hair line is too high! I'd rather be bald!"

Oh god, people who think that hair line is too high can get fucked.

It's definitely not low but that to me is a guy with hair. He's fine.

People who write that this guy's hairline is too high can really get the f*** out of here!
That is a perfectly mature hairline.

Ok I see, I realised after that Jeff Daniels was probably a bad example and this is more what I mean:

I know this isn't unfashionable and people like it but for me personally I'd hate to have hair like that.

Mine doesn't quite go like that but it's definitely not slick looking so I'll keep it short.

Loved him in arrested development. Character perfectly suited his face.

His roles are carefully chosen it seems

It was the same case with superbad and everything else

 

[Rudiger]

I also really like him! But yes so punchable looking.

Very odd feelings for Cera.

1) the stage when you're hiding it and ALL the stupid f*****g comments made by dumb *** ignorant people.

"you should change your hair style. Maybe grow it out"
-maybe you should venture into my damp, poorly lit basement with this bleach and duct tape and await my arrival, you f*****g fucktard.

or THE WORST THING - When you're sporting the intricate, perfectly-arranged combover and a girl looks right at it and tries to mess it up. "I think it would look better messy". NO b**ch. It will look like the crypt keeper, after swimming in a pool of grease.

2) the feeling.

-when you're shampooing and it feels like there is nothing there. or when you dry it and it feels like sickly, whispy, dying sh*t. or how about when a cool breeze passes over it and goes right through the hair to the scalp. Awesome, f*****g awesome.

3) Lighting.

-enough said. How many "fine dining" restaurant owners have you wanted to just choke out. For me, it's a lot. I mean, seriously, wtf. Does making EVERYONE look like a whorish monster on a first date help your goal of luring in customers.

4) The "uncertainty" and the dreams.

- My dreams are f*****g terrible lately. I don't even want to talk about it. f*** off.

5) THEN.... all the stupid f*****g comments from people when YOU ARE TRYING to deal with it.

- "oh God, why did you buzz your hair.. you should grow it back out!!"
three months earlier - "you should just buzz your hair, it's bothering you. I won't care. no one will."

and people think this sh*t is easy. Like it doesn't completely change the way you look... and if it does, well, oh it's just looks. Seriously, I would rather lose a leg.

This post is extremely relatable, except 5)
Number 2) is literally the most horrifying thing ever. Before my hair piece it got to the point where I literally could not handle it so I started washing my hair with my clip in extensions in, something you should not do ever - but the feeling of barely-there hair between my hands was just too much to handle. It was better to delude myself into thinking I actually had some hair, at least for a short while before it got too real and I had to face the facts.

6: brushing teeth in darkness to avoid see ur shiny scalp

Holy crap all us hair loss sufferers do the same sh*t. In the later stages of hair loss I would always do all my bathroom stuff in the dark, brush my teeth, wash my face, blow dry my hair.
And isn't it just fantastic when you literally spend an hour+ washing and carefully styling your hair, thinking ''this looks OK'', and then you go outside and the slightest breeze totally f's up your whole hairstyle and it looks just awful.
Or when you have to sit through conversations between your fullhead friends that whine about a ''bad haircut'' like it's the end of their life.
Or when (in the beginning of hair loss) you take 50 pics of your hair in different lightings a day, trying to convince yourself it hasn't gotten worse.
Then finally you just surrender and give up, stop researching hair loss treatments for hours on end and just take it for what it is. Does it get any easier? No. But you get less hysterical and more apathetic.

and u forgot about sleeping position i know its bad to sleep on your stomach but i used to sleep on my stomach and i loved it but its been 4 years that i dont do this any more why? cuz i f*****g scare to see more hair on my pillow next day

 

[Funkymonk1]

I checked again and it is actually 4 months of growth that it takes to get coverage. Convinced looking at these that a lot of diffusers just haven't tried growing it out properly. It clearly isn't just a lighting issue.


Reference of 1 month in dull lighting:

4 months of growth length - 6 months post-op

I think you've got hair very similar to mine both in terms of hair type and hair loss. It's thick and wiry so if you grow it long you have good coverage and can actually look like you've got a good head of hair (I've even had comments about my "thick mop of hair" when it's long lol). Unfortunatly you can also end up looking like Bob Dillan or that Michael Cera guy! It's funny but I actually think I look more handsome when my hair's very short even though my baldness is more obvious.

I did not do that but something similar, because I have long hair I wore my hair up in a bun almost 24/7. Showered, blow dry and straight up in a bun. It would limit the hair fall to when I showered at least. Can't stand the feeling of hair fall on bare shoulders!
