Great video every guy who's losing their hair should watch

[uncomfortable man]

I would venture to say the majority of posters on this site have essentially a full head of hair. With nw3s coming in a close second. Bald posters are only a small handful...so basically an accurate statistical sampling from real life. But there are certainly degrees/stages to hair loss and to not recognize that would be negligable. Anything below nw3 and your safe, anything above and your vulnerable.

Exactly. It's kind of a kick in the balls to an NW6 at claiming he's in the same boat as an NW2, because "we're all bald anyway".

I'd agree that from my experience a lot of people on here are not actually bald or to be more precise, wouldn't basically be considered bald by society. I mentioned before that baldness is subjective, I think for a lot of guys up to NW3 they would not even be considered bald by most people, even NW4's with creative styling could walk into a room and most people seeing them wouldn't instantly think "bald guy".

 

[Rudiger]

Yeah society sits around ticking boxes going "3 months and 24 years old? tick.. NW2.25? tick... BALD"

But are you admitting that for example a 27 year old NW2 may not necessarily be seen as bald? ****, you must hate that. I'm anticipating some backpedaling as usual...

You just want everyone to be as bald as insane as you and it's just not reality, you can call it ignorance but a lot of people out there don't even realise that NW3's are receding, it's stupidly obvious to people on this forum but to many out there people who we could consider "bald" aren't even noticeably balding. Unless there's diffuse thinning at the fringe or top of the head, as long as there is a hairline, it's not obvious.

And I first realised Bruce Willis was balding in the Die Hard films when I was about 15, before that it was just a "charismatic" or "mature" hairline. But this topic brings up something I remember very well from years ago, I knew a girl who loved bald Bruce Willis but literally said once she "hated when he had a full head of hair in Die Hard". In that group of several people, one guy pointed out "well, it wasn't exactly a full head of hair" buy nobody else batted an eyelid or cared to comment, just moved on. And I mean just look at it:

As long as there's something there, people don't even realise. A strong middle fringe is most important. Of course being young and having an NW3 it stands out a lot more as receding and unfortunate, but if a 25 year old can maintain that hairline it will be more suitable as he gets older, oddly enough. I mean I know a 35 year old who's NW3, and has been for at least a decade, nowadays nobody would even think of him as bald, maybe you would, maybe you want everyone to think that, but it's just not the case.

As far as "creative styling" I know a guy who is at least NW2 or 2.5 at this stage, he combs up the SIDES of his hair over the temporal recession, and a girl I know not only thought he wasn't balding, but used him as an example of a strong hairline until I pointed the combover out (she was actually talking about Zayn Malik and compared his hairline to this NW2/3 guy haha I mean really), and she didn't actually believe me until the next time she saw him. Maybe that was a douche move by me but I thought that's the kind of bald shaming and recession appreciation justice that you'd love.

I know it hurts you that not everyone who is "bald" gets that notoriety but sorry, a lot of guys get away with it. You can learn to deal with it some day.

And also I bet you had no intention in replying to what uncomfortable man wrote about NW3's, but when I write the same thing, you're there ASAP. You also continue to dodge the fact you initially said everyone is bald, and the backpedaling continues...

 

[Rudiger]

Keep thinking you're not going bald and that no one notices lol

Aw man you're a ****ing tool. This is nothing to do with me, I'm constantly worried everyone thinks I'm bald, and I'm probably less bald than what goes on in my head, but this wasn't the point at all.

That was a really poor grasping at straws reply. But you didn't acknowledge a vital part of that post, is a 29 year old NW2 possibly seen as not bald? If you're saying 25 and under is definitely bald, then 26 and over means there are people out there with noticeable recession who aren't considered bald, even though you think everyone is.

Does that hurt you?

 

[ableright]

Excellent video!

 

[Rudiger]

H.L, we both know this is all about about you.

Can you stop talking like such a ****ing creep for once? You aren't inside my mind as much as you want to escape yours.

Not everyone is so self-obsessed that they can only constantly talk about their own needs and situation, you won't understand this, the world revolves around your own baldness and your own depression, and because of your self obsession you think everyone else is just like you. Most people actually have the ability to discuss topics without constantly referring to themselves.

I keep mine short and the fringe/temple pushed up, why would I care about women being fooled by combovers? It's simple, many of them are, I know you can't deal with this, and you probably never talk to any to have any actual anecdotal experiences, but they are fickle about hair loss up until a certain point (NW3 pretty much). As long as there's something there, guys are perceived as having hair.

NW2 looks better than NW5 you say? Stop the presses! Thanks for being enlightening as always- but who was actually wondering that?! I was wondering if you could admit a 26 year old NW2 isn't classed as bald, as you already did practically admit this before, but I wanna see the squirming it takes for you to actually explain it.

 

[RhinestoneHLT]

H.L, we both know this is all about about you. You are going bald. You want to believe that combovers can fool women. I am just telling you some awful truths: They don't. Women can always tell because they are experts at creatively styling your hair to make it look thicker. You will eventually go bald finasteride or no finasteride.

NW2 always looks better than NW5 combover or no combover because the more hair you have the better, not because the combover is fooling anyone.

That's just reality. I'm sorry to have to break that to you.

You're delusional.

All girls aren't equal. Some may notice a comb over, some may not. Some may think if you look good with it it's irrelevant, some may not.

Also with finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, ru, fue, fut and possible future treatment he may not go bald. At least not for a very long time.

You sound so bitter. Maybe you're just ugly? Or acted too late? The salt is real with you.

 

[Rudiger]

Ah, when you can't continue backing up your "real" points just act like you were trolling the whole time.

Being socially sensitive, and showing sympathy etiquette doesn't quantify as you fooling them.


The bang sweep works in the beggining stages but once you become more advanced and have slightly thinning hair then it won't fool anyone. Your comb over lighting is only tricking yourself. Go outside broad day light, and look into your car mirror(door), and tell me your comb over is tricking people :xmas:

This is what people see. HD 4k quality... broad day light image not your bathroom mirror with a couple bulbs missing.



That's the problem with being a comb over prisoner. Start to think it looks good, but when you look back after restoration it's a sight to be seen. The famous hair grown over then snipped to make a hairline.... LOL


I wish I never devoted my time to this crap, and owned the look. Short, and tight. Let those temples breathe, and be free of your crutch.

The funniest part is, it looks half decent from the front. At profile it looks horrible. Can see the over lap of a temple flap extending outwards. From an overhead view it's most obvious.

 

[RhinestoneHLT]

You have a combover too I guess.

I'm a Norwood 2 at worst and pushing 30. Nice try though lol.

Also married to a 24 year old. I'm nowhere near your level of salt.

 

[Rudiger]

Will you ever stop replying to me and stalking me? Shouldn't you be arranging each strand of your hair with a tweezers into a flawless undetectable NW1 combover?

I didn't even reply to you, I let you have the last word, and still you replied to a post of mine that had nothing to do with you. This argument has been going on forever, it has to end at some point.

I literally wrote 2 posts ago that I want to see you squirm and explain how 26 year olds with recession aren't bald, and you thought I was going to just let you be? If you were a bald "realist" Superman this would be your kryptonite. You aren't "letting me have the last word" you just can't simply face up to it, let's go again.

You. Said. That. NW2's. Over. 25. AREN'T... Bald!

You! Said that. How much does it hurt? So for the purposes of making you explain more, I'm going to disagree with you and say that anything over an NW1.0, so NW1.1, is bald, even at age 110.

And now for some proper cocohot stalking I have to share with you:

-Search > Username "cocohot"
-Search in Forum > "Success Stories"
-Your search has returned 0 results.

lol

You make it your mission to come on this Impact forum and try and ensure everyone's as depressed and ****ed up about baldness as you are, you want everyone to be as bald and insane as you admit you are. You tell us how finasteride won't work, don't mention any other treatment, don't mention hair transplant's or packing, hate the idea of guys growing their hair or not being bald. You would never dare go to Success Stories, you'd start melting or something.

Rhinestone is right you were probably just too ****ing stupid to start treatments early and now we, and if there is anyone else in your life, have to put up with your ramblings because of your own stupid mistake.

Being socially sensitive, and showing sympathy etiquette doesn't quantify as you fooling them.

I don't have a "bang sweep", if you're thinning then it's a bad idea to have any thickness of hair at all (although recently I let it grow a few weeks longer than usual and it's better under harsh lighting) as I wrote, I keep it all short, fringe and everything, and push it back a bit. What the hell are you talking about with trying to fool people? minoxidil and nizoral both work better with a few centimetres of hair, mine is so short it couldn't be much more transparent without being buzzed, I have no idea what you're referring to.

As far as "fooling women" I mean what the ****, I wrote how I keep it short and actually push it back, I wrote how this means obviously I don't care for combovers, and you take this away from what I wrote? Stupider than cocohot, you really are.

 

[RhinestoneHLT]

There is no need to "fool" women anyway. You either look good or you don't.

Not all bang sweeps automatically look bad because they cover a thinning spot, just as not all "high and tights" look good "owning the look".

By your logic makeup shouldn't be used by women.

Also I agree with you hair loss.

So many delusional people here. Try not being a beta cuck and you might pull a girl and stop crying about every little flaw in your non perfect nw1 hair.

BTW no amount hair can fix an ugly face, so if you hit that category you aren't pulling hot women anyway. Unless you like being loved for your money.

Ha ha !
Tell that to the smoothest comb over artist in all TVdom.

 

[Joan]

Lol, my sister and I used to comb our hair over our faces, put on sunglasses and walk around like Cousin It. She still has enough hair to do it, unlike me.

 

[I.D WALKER]

Happy for sis, and sad for you.
Where's my magic wand?

This kind of broke my heart. All I can say is, good luck in changing it.

Thank you, h.l. Even though I'm a woman losing hair, I've noticed I'm not alone in my age group. It's the younger guys (and especially EvilLocks) who have it the roughest (and I don't want to open up a debate on younger guys vs. older guys going bald). They will never, ever get their youth back. Even if there's a cure when they're in their 30s and up, they will never know what it's like to look their absolute best when they are really young. You cannot relive those years, and that is the biggest heartbreak of all. I see it happening to my 20-year-old son, and I fear it for my younger son.

 

[Rudiger]

Unless I'm confusing you with someone else, I think I read about this before and someone else asking, so I'm sorry if you have to repeat yourself but- have you mentioned this to him?

 

[Joan]

Have I mentioned my son's hair loss to him? He brought it up a little over two years ago and has been on finasteride (his decision) since then, which, unfortunately, isn't helping. I've mentioned adding Rogaine ad nauseam, to no avail. He's away at college and said he doesn't have time for that. I said, "Well, then I guess you don't care that much about being bald." And he can't grow a beard, but I'm hoping that will change, since I've read that some guys here weren't able to grow beards till they were older.

 

[Rudiger]

Yep that's what I meant. I don't think finasteride will do much on it's own, especially for a 20 year old, which if his hair loss is noticeable, I'd class as aggressive.

There's no time for that? It takes literally 1 minute twice a day, and I admit when I first started it was a chore, but now in an odd sense, I kind of like it. I know it's a tough position for you to be in, and I don't want to press too much as much as you don't want to press him, but he'll regret not being on finasteride, and nizoral (which is even less of a chore).
