Embarrassment of re-growth?

[lamch]

If any of my mates noticed i regrew all my hair (wich they probably wouldnt). I'd probably just say it was medical, or i was lacking certain vitamins and changed up my diet.

just shrug it off.


In most cases though, we never re-grow hair. despite all these potions, and snake oil propoganda people want to believe in. Almost all of it does nothing.

Finasteride, and dutasteride are the only legit drugs that will strengthen, and maintain hair.


Seeing 'new hairs' as they call it at the hairline is most common. 95% of the time further balding.



Finasteride can reverse early thinning, and maintain your hair.


this is the best we got going for us in 2017

only way to 'regrow' (gain) hair is through a transplant.

Just tell them you went to a new barber, fullheads are completely oblivious.

they think rogaine is a mans secret for having a full head of hair. Most people are idiots.

people believe saw palmetto inhibits dht at the scalp still


that sh*t is useless for most people.


@DoctorHouse had a good post on minioxidil many years back.

it's simply buying time, just putting the hair in multiple growth cycles.

Eventually it all goes. but while you have those hairs they will look semi-aesthetic


All an illusion.

Rogaine will synchronize the hairs to shed all at the same time and grow at the same time. So think of it this way, without Rogaine certain hairs were going to shed as they normally do and that is what you are used to noticing. You add rogaine and it reprograms your hair to shed some hairs that were supposed to shed later EARLIER PLUS on top of that the normal amount you were going to shed if you were not using rogaine. So now you see more shedding than you normally do and its panic time. Now you have to wait another six months or longer until these hairs come back to the point you notice them. So during those six months you think your hair is getting worse and you panic the whole time waiting for them to return and that panic does not help your situation. It will take about 12 months to 24 months for the synchronized shed to appear to recover so you will always go thru these large sheds on and off as you use rogaine. Its a roller coaster ride. Once you get used to your new reprogramed shedding from rogaine, you panic less. All rogaine really is doing is keeping more hair in the growth phase so it appears your hair is thicker. Its all an illusion but its real. Some of the weaker hairs can get thicker so that will help too but eventually these weaker hairs will lose the battle if they are destined to become vellus hairs. So rogaine is like a time machine that reprograms your hair cycle to be more synchronized than when you don't use it. So when you stop using it your hair will go back to the way it used to synchronize and you will go thru one huge shed. And then it will take a year or more to eventually get to the way it used to synchronize before you used rogaine so you will go back to shedding alot less hair but the balding process will continue as it always has even when you were using rogaine but you will be convinced your hair is getting better now because you are shedding less and your panic is gone. However, little did you know is Rogaine did work but it never stopped your hair from balding in the first place it only gave you 2 years of unbelievable growth and thickening. However, if you used it and thought you were balding fast and later stop and things get better, its only because you are actually balding at a snails pace and Rogaine will work BEST on these people as it will keep the hair synched the way it did at first so you will seem to maintain on rogaine. However if you have aggressive balding which supposedly is not very common, once you stop using Rogaine you will continue to bald but you will notice it more because your hair is not synchronized the same as it was ON rogaine.

I stopped Rogaine due to sides. The other reason I stopped was because I realized it was just creating an illusion of thicker hair when it was in the growth phase but when it was in the shedding phase it looked worse and I would panic. I would rather stay with shedding less( without rogaine) hair than more as it psychologically makes you think your are not losing your hair as much. I have very mild thinning and it thins at a snails pace, so rogaine is theoretically a perfect choice because it will give me the illusion of thicker hair and my normal thinning will still go on but in my mind I will be convinced Rogaine is maintaining but its just I am not aggressively balding. So is Rogaine worth it for this illusion, not in MY case. I want something that can actually reverse or slow down balding. Supposedly Proxiphen and Propecia do that so I use them. So far its working( pyschologically at least) but maybe I would be fine without them too. Who knows? By the way this is why Rogaine will not save your hairline too. It took me many years for this to sink in so I hope I made it so you understand it better. This is why Rogaine will work if you don't have aggressive balding but it you do, it won't help much to the point its worth the hassle. Think about this logically, there is no way to know what would of happened if you never used anything if you decide to use something. You just are basically having faith in what you are currently using to believe it is helping. So for me as long as I believe using Proxiphen and Propecia is helping, I will believe its slowing down my thinning. I could gamble it all and stop both and still be thinning the same but I need my drugs to "survive" psychologically. Everyone in here who is using treatments is doing exactly the same. We use treatments to buy us confidence that our hair will not get worse but we will never know the true outcome unless we quit cold turkey. Some do and win and some don't and lose. I don't want to gamble with my hair right now. So I will continue to buy my faith as so many chose to do here.

I know this is a laughable topic for most on here desperately trying to gain regrowth (me as well- no current regrowth going on right now), but for those who have had success, has anyone had a problem admitting to their vanity?

Because a lot of us try to act like hair loss doesn't bother us (when most people probably see right through the facade anyway but oh well) and suddenly then to start shedding, and eventually start to show regrowth, everyone around you knows the effort you're going to get that, and although I'd definitely take it tomorrow, people will find it a bit, funny.

I get the feeling this thought will get possibly some hostility but mainly a complete lack of understanding, I'm expecting a "are you kidding enjoy the growth and who cares what people think brah" take on this, but I mean we all clearly care a lot what people think. We can pretend we're doing it solely for ourselves but we don't see our own baldness for 99% of the day, other people do, and that's what we worry about.

If I ever got noticeable regrowth my first thought would be delight, and my second would be slight worry, over every person I know wondering what's happening with my hair lately, asking questions, and whether I'd lie and deny the effort I've gone to.

Anyone?

I've been in similar situations so I know what will happen.

Women will ask me why I'm single and if I'm new in town. I'll tell them I just got my hair back and that I've been skipping parties and clubs since I saw no point to it while I was bald. They'll be flirtatious. They'll pay inordinate amounts of attention to me and stuff like that.

I'll make friends quickly.

My new male friends will kind of snicker at me at first when they find out I lost my hair and just got it back. The guys will zip it pretty quickly though when they see women all over me, especially since the women will be defending me and giving the guys a hard time for ragging on me.

Everyone who knows me will know I lost my hair and recovered it and I'll mesh harmoniously with whatever people I hang out with. Everywhere I go people will stare at me and like me. Everybody in the world will try to hang out with me, and among the people I'm hanging out with, hair recovery will be extremely popular. Guys who are around me will start growing their hair longer because my hair will be long.

BTW if people are going to hassle you HLTers about getting your hair back you should all just hang with me. Hair recovery will be very fashionable in whatever group I'm hanging with. You won't have to hide it or lie about it. People will be impressed. I'll make it all OK. I promise.

Come on Pilofocus, I'm ready to go.

Everyone who knows me will know I lost my hair and got it back and I'll mesh perfectly with whatever people I hang out with, and everyone who knows me will be very proud of me and want to do things with me. Everybody in the world will try to hang out with me and among the people I'm hanging out with hair recovery will be extremely popular. Guys who are around me will start growing their hair longer because mine will be long.

@nameless I'm worried you're going to be disappointed if you get hair back and don't become the king.

Come on Pilofocus, I'm ready to go back to my previous life.

Have you tried teasing, and flirting with them while maintaing your current look of Scott Krinsky?

I don't want to be a king. I just want to be a sl*t.

Come on Pilofocus take me away.

Only way he will be king is if he goes to Thailand

I wonder if he still believes that people in there forties, and fifties go to the disco, and club every weekend. Unfortunately those party times of knowing excessive amounts of people are all within your teenage, and twenty something years.

Well, no as a matter of fact I haven't. If you looked like that would you bother flirting with women?

But I don't look like that anyway, although I definitely do NOT look good anymore.

Come on Pilofocus, take me home.

We have all seen the picture


Almost an exact repliate, and as a bonus similar hair

I see some specific similarities but not overall. Right now, if I looked like him that would be an improvement for me. Without my hair this guy is better looking than me.

Come on Pilofocus, make me look good.

> embarrassment
> regrowth

pick one

I will walk with widest smile and will not give any f*** if I'd regrow to NW2-2.5 and stop my diffuse thinning overall the scalp.

Whoever will ask why I will tell the truth about finasteride and min (when I will add it).

 

[nameless]

People are just too ****ing nosey to begin with.
When I'm out having a drink at my local, I'm always astounded at the amount of gossip that goes on there.

Fuqking annoys me....and this is MEN I'm talking about.
God damn, men. Gossiping like a bunch of b****s!!!

I try to sit on my own most of the time.
That way I can avoid the prying questions about my life.

I agree mostly. But I think women are just as bad as men. It's everybody.

Everybody just sits there talking bad about everybody, ragging on everybody, and making everybody
the butt of their jokes.

People just have an appetite for hating other people.

If I get my hair back maybe I'll just fall in love and hang out with my female.

 

[Roberto_72]

When my parents saw my hair transplant they were so delighted they agreed to pay half of it as a joyful hand-down.
One of my ex girlfriends said explicitly she had troubles looking at me as she did not recognize me.
Envious friends made jokes as they were envious.

"Embarrassed"? Are you f*****g kidding me?
