Hair Loss: The Importance of Hair

[Wolf Pack]

Really? For some ordinary hair? Are you sure it's not too much said?
Yes, i agree, empty shiny scalp may not look appealing, but, if we sit and think, why do we put so much importance in some hairs? Yes, we know, looks, etc, superficial society, but really i think hair is overrated. Or maybe it's just an effect of obsessing on something we have been denied.

It really does make a big difference. Some people are happy to "let go" and "accept" it. But it does decrease your attractiveness big time for Caucasians and asians - rarely do either group look good buzzed or bald - it doesn't suit our features. Vin Diesel is not white if someone mentions him, he is a mix of quite a few groups. Hell, even blacks look better with some hair, my friend has lost some points since he can't grow it out, he is using Rogaine.

I do admire those that are "less vain, at peace" with hair loss. But I can't accept this sudden loss of looks if it happened. I know exactly the impact it would have on my features.

Vin Deisel is NOT a good looking guy by all logic. He is completely unsymetrical and weird looking. If he was never cast as a "gruff action star" then no one would be saying he was attractive.

Oh trust me, I feel the same. But somehow I knew he would be mentioned by someone at some point to show that Caucasians look good bald! He is not model attractive at all with those features. But he pulls of the masculine rough street kind of look with those harsh features, again this is a trait you normally see in those with african blood, at least he can pull it off better than most of us could . I can't think of a single bald/buzzed Caucasian I think is good looking. I would look hideous.

I agree, but we can talk about 2 things:
1)of course everybody would prefer a full head of hair anyday(hmm there exceptions of people who look better with a buzzcut then with grown hair)
2)when it happens and, despite of you not wanting your hair to fall, and investing energy and money in treatment, it ultimately leaves you, i think your only option is to buzz your head and accept yourself. Otherwise what? Torment yourself undefinitely for something you can't change won't do you any help, psychologically. At that point, a "real man" shaves his head, etc, does all he can to look best, regarding the situation and accepts it.
Ok, he is bald, and so what? Unpleasant things happen in life, in the end, it's genetic, so it's nothing you should be ashamed of. But a strong person can get over. And a realist guy, sooner or later, understands that it's better to accept that he won't have a full head of hair again, rather than feeling miserable and depressed.
I know first impression matters, but, in the end, looks are not everything.
Important note: 5 years ago when i started losing my hair, i had a totally opposite opinion: i thought i would never accept my hair to fall, i was obsessed and sweared myself that i would beat baldness and fight it even till i am old. I had exactly the same obsession with looks, i would see people with great hair and be envious on them.
But know, as time passes i am starting to think differently. I am starting to realise that hair is not that important after-all, in fact almost nobody, in the last 5 years, had a problem or even mentioned me something about my hair.
I am strongly strating to have myself proven a theory: if you're miserable and obsessed about your hair(and i surely was some time ago), this reflects in your interactions/relationships to others. On the other way, if you're at peace(and i'm at peace when i buzz my hair short, it looks tons better than kept long, 'cause it's diffused), even if you shave your hear, it seems that nobody has a problem with it. IF you act like you're ok with it, others are also ok with it. If you are depressed, miserable, barely walking and look like someone died, then people will look at you with other eyes: look at that poor guy, what's his problem? Maybe his hair?

Well, we men are not the ones in position to tell if he's attractive or not.
It is possible that women could have totally different criteria for "atractive guy".
A more-masculine looking-guy with a shaved head could attract more women than a "pretty-boy" face with insanely thick mop getting into his eyes.
We really can't be objective when talking about guy-attractiveness , as long as we're straight.

I can't rep you for this or would. You might get slated for this post you made but I agree with you, it takes exceptional strength of character to have this attitude you talk about and also to shave it if you can't do anything else. I do admire these people who not only shave it but tackle adversity head on and make the most of other things in their life.

 

[zdm632]

Why is cancer always the first thing brought up to negate the importance of hair?
Why are people so fucking stupid to think that, baldness cannot be cured until cancer is? I can count the number of doctors working on a hair loss cure on ONE HAND yet the number of TEAMS working on a cancer cure is insane.

It's normal after all to focus on a life-threatening condition like cancer, then to a cosmetic one.
Of course, they are not dependant in any way.
Let's be realistic, if we were dying from cancer(unfortunately i had a case in the family), i am sure we'd have a totally different idea about the importance of trivial hair.
If i had terminal cancer, i probably would trade a complete healing for all my hair without thinking too much.

I know most users here will not agree with me and give me bad rep, mock me about "the number of times i go out"(how funny is that), but i don't care.
To be honest, i'm not yet at the point i talk about to be completely at peace with my hair condition, but it seems i'm heading towards there.
I admit: some years ago i, myself would get mad on people talking about acceptance, but i'm shifting.
The reason it's that hard for young guys experiencing hairloss is because of the obsession of perfection and "looking good" in the current society.
Yes, looks matter, but they're only superficial, and temporay, everybody will age and looks will degradem poersonality and what's inside should be more important.
Oh, and the obsession about sex, yes, that;s another big point. And not sex with any girl, no, everybody wants to screw a 9/10 or 10/10. For the young male of 201x, making sex with as many hot-hot girls is some kind of trophy he can throw his friends in the face. And, if he loses some hair, imagine what a tragedy is that.
Of course, sex is important, but today's society just overestimates it and exagerates its importance.

- - - Updated - - -

And i would like to end with some essential question: How in the world should others(people on the street, desired girlfriends, etc) accept us if we don't accept ourselves???
Who would like to be with a bald+DEPRESSED man? Almost nobody, i think.
So, if life forced you to be bald(notice the IF, i'm not saying you should like to get bald, for god's sake), adding miserable feeling, depression and not accepting yourself is only going to lower you further! It won't help in any way. It's crystal clear.

There's a few like zidane, joey Lawrence (was bald, had hair transplants), Chris daughtry... Jason Gardiner I always thought looked good bald (PIC related).
Unfortunately these people are the exception and not the rule, they all have very strong features such as cheekbones, chin, nose, lips etc..

For the other 95% of us we will look crap.

 

[Exodus2011]

well i can respect those who do accept it

but its insanely difficult to do that in my situation, being 5'6 skinny and bald. i was already an awkward loser before baldness and now i doubt ill ever be able to even talk to a girl

its just soul destroying going from being called harry potter or bruce lee to ****ing gollum and voldemort

the only real "cure" mentally is just to stay away from society and go into fantasy worlds like captainforehead

its nigh on impossible to not fall down a never ending hole of feeling inferior being me. im trying to just accept being **** . . . . that seems to help

rejecting it makes it worse. when u sit there and TRY to feel as miserable as possible you WILL get bored eventually

Good post. I have nothing but respect for those that can shave their head and not look back.

They know they've been dealt a **** hand but they get on with it. Unfortunately its not that easy for all of us or we wouldn't be here.

People are more perceptive than we probably give credit. when you're anxious, withdrawn and low in mood/confidence people aren't going to rush to try and know you. The problem is it's a vicious cycle.
Lose hair - lose confidence - become increasingly isolated- lose more confidence/ social skills - become more isolated

I certainly think the mental implications of hair loss arent taken seriously enough.. That said mental health in general is something within the UK that's a bit of a joke.

Having recently lost a close family member to cancer this resonates with me.

When I initially noticed my balding and was in the bargaining phase of loss I was literally saying to everyone that I would rather have cancer than hair loss. I would pray for any other disease than this ****..

Having cared for a parent with a terminal disease I can easily say that I would trade all the hair in the world to not have to deal with such a horrible condition.

a bald head is also cold during winter and gets sunburned

you also just feel more vulnerable having nakedness on top of your head

feels kinda like you existence isnt as significant

This is serious.

People who are bald/balding or have really short hair, their heads get cold easily. During the Summer of 2014, I quit using topical Minoxidil for a couple of months and went through a massive shed a lost a lot of density, so I buzzed my head. There were a couple of days when I was out enjoying the Summer and I got sunburn on my scalp, and that never happened to me before. I thought it was because I buzzed my head, but then I realized it was because my hair was so thin.

One thing that I hate about hair loss, is that I definitely get that 'nakedness' feeling. You just don't feel vulnerable, you are more vulnerable. Every single bald/balding man have been made fun of about their hair loss through out their lives. I think only something like 60% admit to being bothered about.

That feeling of questioning your existence is coming from the loss of control due to hair loss. Hair loss is one of those problems where there is currently no absolute control over it, the current best way to treat it is with pharmaceutical medicine, and that isn't an option for everyone. Some are able to deal with hair loss, some of us cannot. For us who cannot, it literally effects every aspect of life negatively.

Another thing that I really hate about hair loss, is when I've got my hair all combed so no one can tell that it's a bit thin, and then out of nowhere comes this big wind, and my hair is going everywhere and it gets all messed up.

One more thing I want to mention. When my hair was super thin and ill from stopping the topical Minoxidil for two months, when I went out and felt the wind blow, instead of feeling my hair, I felt my head instead. It was one of the creepiest feelings I've ever felt.

Yes, but these are not serious problems at all. Cold in winter? Even full head guys cover their head with caps in winter.
The same in summer, there are very thin caps to use. And who is gonna stay long in the bright sun at noon in a hot summer day? You will burn your face, nose, etc anyway. OR you can use a SPF lotion on your scalp too, and...you're protected.

Hmm, i buzz my hair very short for 4 years, and i actually like the "cleanness", and yes, also, i like the feeling of wind in buzzed head, it's not creepy at all, maybe you're not used with it yet.
I arrived to the point that i don't like when the hair starts to grow, and look forward ti buzzing it again, i feel very very good immediately after buzz. )
About the "making fun", short-minded people can make fun of you in 1000 ways. Why should we care?
Making fun about hairloss/baldness, something you have little control of, is stupid anyways. I can understands despising a fat person, because he lacks control about his eating habits, but baldness, just no.
And i don't know about western countries, but, most honestly now, here in eastern EU i have yet to meet someone to make fun about my hairloss.
Yes, there were persons who asked me if i'm losing my hair(maybe 2 or 3 in 7 years!) and that wasn't in an ironic/mocking way, or about "why do you buzz so short", "doesn't your head get cold"? But nobody made fun about my hair. I had situations when people were very pissed on me, they commented about some pimple on my face, about other stuff i'm doing, but nothing about hair.
And actually i take "why do you cut your hair so short" as a compliment, meaning the person believes that my hair doesn';t look bad, so i could grow it out.(actually i receive this only from old persons).
In the beggining it affected me very much, but no it doesn't. I don't even see full heads as superior or envy them.
I just think: look what a ridiculous amount of messy hair. And "yes, he has a full head, but most probably there is something at which i am better than him. )
Especially very very low foreheads, i am now amused of them(i have a quite high one and used to envy those with very low one), it just looks funny to me.

So naaah, i don't think these aspects are a big deal. Yes, if we want to suggest ourselves that they are big drawbacks, we will start to believe that strongly, but i don't.
Anyway, long thick hair has its disdvantages too: someone withh very thick long hair will sweat like hell in the summer/after a physical effort, it gets him more time to wash it, to dry it, to cut it, a buzzed head is practically done in a couple of minutes.

One of my co workers is bald NW7. Older but was bald from a young age. Last year he had to have a HUGE melanoma spot removed from his scalp. He had a huge bandage and hole in his head for months and now that its healed its a big scarred hole

Not saying this is the norm but makes you think a bit.

Of course, sex is important, but today's society just overestimates it and exagerates its importance.

To me sex is just fun. In my younger years I had lots of great sex. Some long term GFs and some flings, even a couple .... transactions????? I liked to experiment in my early days. I prob like sex a bit to much to be honest, but I hate the thought of having to deal with super ugly or fat girls now. Or to be interested in a girl only to see her with some guy with awesome hair.
When I shaved my head I got ALL THE WRONG attention from the wrong type of girls. When Im out now its primarily chubby girls who want to be flirty. Nothing like what I used to get. And IM NOT saying I expect to still grab 20 year olds (though it would be nice) because I find older girls attractive to. But even in my age range (30s) I can no longer get the attention I used to and its not just a turn of age thing its def my attractiveness level has gone down. When I did shave I was told my face still looked in my 20s and my body is still in great shape. With hair I look 10 years older as what I do have is almost fully grey and always messy and hard to keep neat.
I used to be able to make eye contact and use that to decide if the girl was interested. Recently I was with a buddy in a store and two pretty women in prob their early 30s were together. I was feeling good and smiled and looked away like I would normally do. I will look through my side eyes and see what reaction I get. The look of shear "ewwww" I got was so destroying. In my hair days I knew there would always be another girl I could attempt with. Hell if 1 out of 4 was my odds I was happy but man its getting to be around 1 out of 400 now and I wonder wtf is the point of even going to the gym. Why not just become a bald fat guy like all the other ones. I know now why they give up so fast.

Its also not a confidence thing. My attitude is pretty much the same, and the same as I type here. Im outspoken, blunt and pretty sure of myself. When youre good looking thats called "confidence". When you lose your hair its called "that guys a dick"

I have a strong jaw and decent cheekbones, yet would look like $hit bald. My head shape is not ideal I think, also will make my forehead and nose look crap while currently it looks prominent but fine.

Those guys you mention, they pale in comparison to good looking guys with hair and that's the end of the issue for me. It just isn't natural to look like that in my mind.

Again it doesn't stop you dating or functioning, no one will ridicule you if you look like those guys but it does overall decrease your rating. When you get attention from pretty hot girls usually, this would mark a profound change.

Well yeah, they are never going to be as good looking as attractive people with hair and I don't think anyone debates that. Being bald is an aesthetic handicap, you're always going to be worse off with hair loss.
That said due to their head shape and other features they don't look like absolute *** bald like the huge majority of us do

 

[hellouser]

I didn't even know you guys had welfare over there.

Very true on men hiding the issue. I know like at least 10 doctors on Propecia/Transplant, sussed it, yet it's all under cover. But that's because it's one of those things. I would say baldness and impotency are two fears most men are aware of and they prefer privacy if inflicted. These two generic issues are very distinctive from other health issues.

Awareness wouldn't help, medicine doesn't cure much, just controls, but slowly things are getting better generally.

Scalping women's heads in large numbers would get people working fast on a solution to cover their bald heads with skin and hair. We all know that if that happened to men, we'd be largely ignored and laughed at... like this:

[video=youtube;muuFygvXPAM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muuFygvXPAM[/video]

 

[doublebatman]

I just love how people who put into question the fact that baldness is the ultimate disadvantage for a man are not bald.

If you're referring to me, I'm a Norwood 5 and not far from where you were pre transplant. For all intents and purposes I'm considered by most people bald.

Please don't tar us all with the same brush, not all bald people think the same way you do

 

[Wolf Pack]

I just love how people who put into question the fact that baldness is the ultimate disadvantage for a man are not bald.

So if us lower Norwoods say 'being bald is not a disadvantage' you would say we are wrong as we aren't bald.

Now that I've said 'being bald is a disadvantage' you're kind of questioning that too?

It's common sense : none of my peers want to lose their hair either.

I do agree that women can get away with videos like that unlike men. Combination of men being stronger, history of genders, white knights, feminists.

However, a cure would not come sooner with your strategy. People are desperate to cure many many ailments with massive funding...yet hardly any have been cured.

We only discovered antibiotics and insulin in the 20th century. Go back a hundred years - healthcare was crap. Since 80's I do agree not much has changed.

Sorry but for someone in their 20s withiut hair your ****all
