Feel Old Before Thirty, So Tired Of This

My hairloss keeps seemingly getting worse, which is not surprising or even worth mentioning.

I got to a point - and I know other forum members know exactly what I mean - that when I look in the mirror, I hate what I see. I hate my shitty hairline so much, I can't stand it. I can't stand the way it just doesn't look right, I can't explain it fully, but its like looking at a jigsaw trying to work out why your aesthetics look so poor and the reality is its just your hairline that makes you look like that.

Which is hard to take, to be honest. Very hard to take. Just the hair on your head is robbing you of how you look, or used to look.

Short of going completely bald, my only choice right now is to continue to get these ultra short sides like some sort of army cut and hope it hides it. To be honest it usually looks better for about 5 days, then it starts to look messy again. My sideburns are curly and thick, and it really throws off the rest of my face given how fast my sideburns grow.

The cycle is torture: go to the barbers, and hope to God that this cut will look OK, that you won't look too bald, that your barber/hairdresser will roughly get the look you are going for and that everything will be OK. Then, if you are lucky, and you have a better cut then expected, you look good for a week or so, even though your ears stick out and you feel like you are in the military. Then the sideburns begin to grow again, your hair starts to look shitty, your recession starts to look more obvious and you begin to feel more ugly by the day. Then the whole process starts again. Urrggghhh.

I'm half thinking of going to a proper turkish barbers, there was a guy who used to cut my hair well. He puts love into his haircuts and was always a wise, professional man. I might go in their and ask him to buz my hair down, maybe do a one on the sides and a two/three up top and see how I look. f*** it. As weird as it might be to say, I sort of feel more solace getting it done in a real barbers shop, and having it done by a professional barber. That would be a good way to go out (and yes - this is the symbolic death of my hair). At least I can sit there and just relax and then bang, it's done.

I'm seriously f*****g tired of looking at my sh*t hair everyday. Being a shaved head guy is the only option now.

Maybe f*****g SMP when the time comes. f*****g mad right now with how fucked this is. Salute to my balding brothers, we're in this f*****g heap together. Good luck to you all.

i used to be in the same position, bought myself some clippers and got used to cut my own hair years ago. also got a transplant which pretty much put my crippling depression at bay. i understand that i am in this on borrowed time, but i really hope i dont ever get back to where i was.

peace.

How long were you buzzing your hair for? What kind of hairstyle do you keep now with your hair transplant?

I completely understand getting an hair transplant is a viable route for many and I respect that. My feeling is that it is not permanent enough, so yes you may get longer with hair that's been transplanted, but I feel I am almost better off getting used to a shaven head look and creating a look that works for me. If, by the grace of God I can make that look for me.

To be honest, there are things in life you know you want to do and have to do to move forward. Buzzing is one of them for me. There is fear and apprehension but I also know that I can't continue in my current state either. My hairline has distorted my face for a long time.

My only consideration is that I wait until Christmas to get it done, so over a two week period I can get used to the look before going back in the office. I can see the front part of my hair becoming more like an island now as well which I really dislike as it becomes so hard to style. Buzzing is ultimately a symbol of acceptance to me. It's just accepting that i have reached the 'end of the line' with my hair and that I am longer trying to hide it or pretend that I can work with what I have got.

I also get the feeling that if a woman is attracted me bald, it's like she doesn't have the thought of how I will look with less hair. I think a lot of women worry about that if you are receding but haven't trimmed. They are thinking about how you'll look after a few more years. I know this as I used to have an ex, this girl who was weirdly thinning in the middle. I did wonder about how much worse it would get. Of course, I didn't meet her already bald, but you can see how women would think this way if they meet a receding man as opposed to a buzzed/clean dome guy and they don't have to go on the torturous journey with them.

Already being bald means you can (potentially) develop a no fucks given approach and you no longer have any more hair to lose, you have nothing to hide. And if she is attracted to you now, she will be attracted to you in a few years. I've made my mind up, and I have nothing to lose. It's happening bros.

Dude... are you not tired?
Are you not tired of suffering?

Just bite the bullet. Shave. Get SMP.
You will not look as good as a fullhead. But SMP will at least allow you to look at yourself in the mirror and feel normal.

I'm probably biased because i look amazing bald and barely lost any SMV points but...

Zidane, did you get SMP out of interest?

And yes, I am f*****g tired of suffering. What do you recommend for a first time buzzer? I.e. 1 all over? Or do a 1 on the sides, 2 at the top. Perhaps the answer is that the main thing is just to do it, shave and see how it looks.

You are so f*****g stuck. Any balding men should at least once shave it. If you cant live with your new look, you find your balls and get a hairtransplant and/or SMP but stop asking 50 000 questions. We all know its just to get you more time to not do anything.

Get on my regemin for 18 months. Then add SMP and a transplant if necessary. Lol at quitting. And lol at not starting to fight male pattern baldness at the first sign of it. Prevention is key losers.

I did not get SMP yet. I still have enough hair to have a natural "shaved head" look.
Basically, i'm completely diffuse. My hair looks meh when i grow it out. But if i shave it looks like i have an insane amount of hair.
I still get the "shadow" effect when i shave. Granted, the shadow on top is quite a bit lighter compared to the shadow on the sides (i had very little hairloss on the sides and back of the head. I have ridiculous density there) but normies don't notice the discrepancy.

I usually shave my head entirely, then grow out the top to 0.5 cms and leave the sides at 0.2 cms. I buzz my sides every day while letting the top grow. When the top grows too much, i shave everything again.

Unfortunately, i don't have much time left. My hair sooner or later will become so thin that the shadow will disappear, revealing the horseshoe. I will have to get SMP in a year or so.

It's been a blast honestly. Ever since i shaved, i got an insane amount of compliments, some people even saying that i should never grow my hair ever again. I look great bald, and now i'm also starting to see the first results of my workouts... not gonna lie, i'm starting to feel a bit like a Chad.

I had the chance to live life as a bald men with a full hairline. And man... it's something else.
Unfortunately, my hair is starting to thin again so i don't think i have much time left before i have to resort to SMP to cover up.
