hairloss has humbled me

[Oknow]

Back when I was a NW0 I would be so reckless with my health, now fastforward 3 years later (and a NW1.5) it has had the opposite effect (24 now), I have been humbled by it.

Today, I got my haircut. It is medium length, shaggy. After I got it cut, I checked out my hairline, and then quickly realised that it hadn't receeded as badly as I had originally thought. For some reason longer hair seems to make the angle look a lot more sharper then when it is shorter to the point your eyes play tricks on you. Aside from my hairline, the rest of my hair is insanely thick. I was so nervous during him cutting it.

Now, I am exercising, eating a lot more healthily, and generally looking after myself a lot better. I have also now realised that life is far too short to be depressed and that I should be enjoying myself right now, rather then wasting my youth away only to regret it later on life, when I am old.

To sum it up, having mild hairloss has taught me one thing, never take the things that you have for granted - because you can end up losing it. Everyday I wake up now, I just thank god for keeping the mop on my head for another day.

I would like to apologise to UCMan and all the other NW6s out there for my earlier rants, you guys are right if I hit that stage I will probably hit major depression.

If you're really able to appreciate your life at 24 years old, you'll go very far indeed

Kudos to you!

You don't have hair loss. :dunno:

You don't have hair loss. :dunno:

:agree: At your age I was like NW3/4.

 

[Oknow]

You don't have hair loss. :dunno:

Believe it or not, hairline was straight as an arrow before.

What the f*** is wrong with people on this forum? Dude, you have literally zero hairloss. You don't even seem to have a mature hairline. This is like me making 380 posts on a cancer forum when all I have is a swollen bruise.

Oknow, are you a troll?

What the f*** is wrong with you?

You dont have any hairloss. How can it have 'humbled' you?

Its sh*t like this that makes me want to stay of these forms more and more. What the f*** is wrong with people ?

 

[superfrankie]

Talk about having lost touch with reality. There is something seriously wrong with you Oknwo. I just want to bang the sh*t out of you, just to make you WAKE UP! You have now humiliated every single guy in here.

This is just too much. Moderators, ban this troll please.

...and I dont even wanna know UM:s reaction.

We all had a 180 degree hairline at one time. That doesn't mean you have hair loss. If you're in your mid 20's and upset about that tiny bit of recession, u'll kill urself if ever get to norwood 2.

Literally either has to be a troll or needs psychiatric help. This may even top Kerzman's effort, and at least Kerzman admitted he was deluded and went to sort his head out.

dont spend your time on this forum , enjoy life...

I do:

Hair was longer here. Only because I am not slick bald, doesnt mean that I have 0 hairloss.

 

[uncomfortable man]

I feel...weak. Superfrankie, HatPrisoner where are you? I need the support of my bald brothers.

Oknow, you and kerzyguy have alot in common. You both like to show photos of your nonexistent hair loss. Take it from a guy like me who has BDD like yourself. Your hair is fine. Stop worrying about it. Honestly, if my hairline looked as good as yours I would never have joined this forum. However, my hairline used to look like yours but now it has diffusely thinned to the point that even one of the most ethical hair transplant docs feels I am a good candidate to restore my hairline so it will once again look like yours. If my hairline looked as good as yours, he would have rejected me. If he took a look at your hairline, he would tell you have no hair loss.

But Dr House I have slight recession and my temples have thinned out, isn't that hairloss?

 

[GeminiX]

Looking at the second set of pictures (thanks for posting them), you do appear to have some temple recession. The good news is that your hair is so thick that no-one will notice anything, not a thing.

Keep a close eye on it (mine went from where you are to NW5+ in just a few years) and if you see *significant* increases in losses start looking into finasteride/minoxidil etc.

I think you'll be absolutely fine

Just because he's not an NW5 Pattern doesn't mean he's not losing his hair. It could be the only difference between his hair and yours is couple of years...

 

[Thickandthin]

I think you are just in that awkward phase between a NW1 and a mature hairline.

Those miniaturized hairs on the hairline will fall out and you'll be left with a strong V shape. Not unlike another poster here who also likes to post pictures of his great hair.

You could say that about almost any guy on earth, should the Brad Pitts of the world be on here too then (just in case).

Yes but Brad Pitt is clearly not losing his hair.
