Going to a barber as a diffuse thinner makes me feel like a subhuman

Same here Norwood. I haven't gone to a barber / hair dresser in more than 3 years. I just don't like the thought of them looking at my hair and judging me. I don't feel comfortable with other customers looking at my hair either. So I just cut it myself. Doesn't look perfect (no ****), but it is what it is.

wow he lost it in a perfect male pattern baldness fashion from the chemo 0_0

When he lost his hair due to chemotherapy, of course they made him wear a wig in Dexter. His character couldn't get cancer and lose his hair too I guess?
Baldness on screen is always unacceptable if you're the hero, except for The Shield I guess.

xD you could have cut your own hair before hair loss as well. what about baldness allows you to cut your own hair now?
Cause the length i go for now is no hair, number one with a electric razor, anyone can do it. When before it was different lengths etc, i cant really cut the back of my head with scissors on my own.

Never knew he lost his hair. However, I did notice his hair got thicker all of sudden. I think his wig looked good. Never got into this show but now that its cancelled I don't have too.

Aside from season 4, Dexter sucked.

I had a friend that did this. He had no standards at all. Fat, ugly, poor hygiene...didn't matter to him.

Dude I had to ban someone yesterday. They said you were swiss and were an active Nazi :laugh: It was funny though, your personality seems the most unNazi. Although you do hate the feminist movement and the Nazi's replaced it with their own version
Diffuse thinner myself. Honestly, most barbers don't care, as long as you are upfront about your situation. They see every type of head in the business, and the only time they have to say something like that is when people don't say anything. They are just trying to give you the best look.
Might help to go to a men's barber. A lot of times older barbers are balding as well. Heck, last time I went he had a shaved head.

Haha.. yes mate, I kinda get your point. Some barbers may be a bit hesitant to mention hair loss to a customer.
But I had to laugh at the irony of "declaring my balding" to a guy, or girl that will be standing no more then a foot away from me and going through my hair with a fine tooth comb.
As far as our hair is concerned, we have a very intimate relationship with our barbers/hairdressers.

Went to a barber yesterday, diffuser all over including the upper AND lowerpart of my sides
Got a short cut, number 2 on the sides and back and very short at top.
I have a lot LESS hair than I thought. You can actually see through it and I am on finasteride for 2 years now. No hope at all.
It ****ing sucks to go to a barber when you're balding.

I absolutely dread going to the hairdressers. It's because there is a small sweet spot where I can arrange my hair and disguise the receding hairline. As soon as the barber gets the comb and spray out, the ruse is over. Because my hair is kind of wavy/curly and probably on the coarser side of the spectrum, when it is longer and with some product in it the blatantly receded hairline can be hidden with careful styling (Sometimes). 1st thing out of the shower, barbers, pool or any other situation which messes with the charade and all bets are off.
Can anyone else relate to the feeling of, after a hair cut, just wanting to get the hell out of there as soon as possible and find a secluded bathroom to assess the damage before facing anyone?

secluded bathrooms.. and scissors
Yes!!! Totally!!Haha!!
I always used to find a bathroom STRAIGHT AWAY and then check the damage!!!
That was the good old days, haha.
Once, after a dodgy haircut, I even went into a supermarket and bought a cheap pair of scissors. Then went into the toilets of a nearby pub. The disabled toilets, too.
Not the common men's toilets.. too much traffic in there.
Tried my best to repair a bit of the damage. It didn't really work though.

Does anyone else go to the same barbers, who could have 2 or 3 hairdressers there, and some of them know how to help out your situation and some of them don't? It's ****in roulette.
I go to the same place every time and 2 of them know how to finish off the front and temples decently so it doesn't look completely exposed but also like I'm not growing out the front in a flopping combover, they just do the temples around the same length as the top right/left of my head where the horseshoe is kept slightly longer than the middle which is shorter with a fringe. They probably aren't even "helping me out" that's just how it should be finished off, with consistency along the side.
Sorry that's hard to explain, but it is absolutely imperative there's a little bit left in in the temples, the few centimetres of spikey hair makes a world of difference, I'll try and illustrate it with a guy who has a good head of hair:
Now Calvis Harris probably has hair under that little flick at his temples there, but I don't, and the reason this is so important isn't just because of temples being receded (at age 29 it gets away with being "mature") but because my fringe is thin, from side profile you can see right through it, as long as there's no spike of hair to give that illusion the hairline goes right across (of course it's still visible under harsh lighting but 95% of the time it's fine).
But anyway, this one little bastard kid who was probably like 19, would cut along the side of my head, the horseshoe part, all the same length, just snipping a few centimetres to tidy it up, the whole way from the back forward, and then he'd get to the temple, and it was like his target clump to really rip it out with his thumb and index finger, and CHOMP cut right to the scalp. In an instant I knew it's 2 or 3 weeks of constantly checking out how it's looking in every mirror available, at home, in public.
Once I'm pretty sure the woman owner of the place (who's pretty hot by the way) noticed my facial expression as he did it, maybe I'm not the only one who suffered, because she had her own customer but it looked like she was keeping an eye on him especially when it came to that part, on both sides.
He wasn't there long, maybe it was realised he's a baldite exposer, or maybe he was fired for being generally **** at his job, or maybe he's off out there at some other place, exposing hairlines there.
