Homeless people simply never lose ANY hair

[Caillou]

I know there are some exceptions, but i still don't care what you guys think about this one since there seems to be hundreds of thousands of anecdotal evidence including mine. My country has high as f*** rates of baldness, yet whenever i see a homeless person they seem to always have a thick NW0. Like i understand that not all people go to NW7 or have strong balding genes, but seriously not even a "mature" NW2, or a NW1, or even some thinning as they're old as f***, but literally a 13 yo ultra thick NW0? How is that sh*t possible? Why 95% of them are that way? There's no other demographic where 95% of guys in their 50's have thick NW0. It also seems to be the case in other countries as well, as there are thousands upon thousands of similar reports as i explained before. I know that baldness is genetic, but isn't anyone else extremely curious about this mystery?


I feel like we don't really know jackshit about how this disease works

It could be linked to lower levels of stress and damage from oxidation so it's not really different from male pattern baldness or FPB or Telogen Effluvium or diverse thinning but the idea is that if you use say Selsun Blue all of those years, baldness is greatly slowed down if not improved by just using a medicine that however you say, focuses on eliminating sebum and fatty acids when they over-accumulate. The reason I think this is that Polysorbates 60 and 80 were said to relieve baldness by unclogging hair follicles of sebum so hair could grow which was false so the infomercial guys all got shut down but the products seemed in my case to even thicken my hair for a while similar to Keto in terms of hair restoration which for this, I mean, it was regrowth and baldness eventually caught up but I had two fewer years of inflammation and so lessened progress of male pattern baldness for a while until the age of so-called male menopause where even finasteride and duta got outrunned.

Janey, are you writing in dialect again? Well, yes. Readers just change outrunned to outrun please mentally which I know all can do said she.

Never got this myth. In my country homeless people are balding more than average people. I even see balding homeless women.
Its literally conformation bias.
On the other hand we have athletes. Almost none are balding. But I think its because most athletes are young and very few young people have severe hair loss.

Probably has more to do with the unkempt look that most homeless guys have obscuring their level of hair loss. You often can't see their hairline and a bunch of shitty frizz might diminish the appearance of diffuse thinning. I myself haven't noticed this phenomenon OP is talking about and I live in an area that is particularly affected by homelessness.

People might be overcorrecting in their heads due to seeing some common arguments in the hair loss community online. Responses to hypotheses about blood flow or general health being responsible for hair loss often mention homeless drug addicts and the like having perfect hair. This has morphed over time into "homeless people are uniquely less affected by male pattern baldness" which I really, really doubt would be the case if you actually did a study. All the evidence is anecdotal for a reason.

Could have something to do with being outside, more sunlight/vitamine D, regular (unvoluntary) fasting and less washing (=less chemicals in your hair).

Haven't really looked into it, but a doctor said that alcohol causes blood estrogen levels to rise.

No

Seen plenty with terrible hair too

 

[NW9000]

Lol true

Less stress and inflammation. Inflammation is probably a bigger part of this than we know and you can't really see it although if it reaches into rashes, acne, dandruff, dermatitis and male pattern baldness/Telogen Effluvium, it's there.

It’s funny I notice that too… Some bum who never cares a lick about his hair has super thick hair… might just be genes. but who knows…

If we are talking about rich pro atheletes I'm sure some of the ones balding young are paying $$$$ to have all sorts of sh*t done with there hair. But there are a few bald/balding athletes, while he's in his late 30s, take a good look at Brett Gardner of the Yankees. Derek Jeter tried to hide it well with buzzcuts but he clearly was balding the 2nd half of his career. I could be wrong, but ARod actually looks like he Toppiks his head a little....

But yeah. I always notice bum's hair but I don't live in DC any longer. I notice people with really ugly hair but a full head of hair and it's a bit miffing.

Where's your study showing lower rates of baldness among the homeless? Looks like pure anecdotal piffle to me.

Oh, they have low stress now? They have a choice of either concrete or dirt to sleep in and have to deal with the weather and risk exposure, which can kill you if it's cold enough. That's a significant amount of stress on the human body. But hey, all that sun is good for them, low stress right?

Oh, and there's the science denialism ...wonderful.

This thread is at the very top of the newsletter where they give you the most popular threads. Do you think we could just not bump threads like this? You know, so it doesn't appear there. Do you think that might be a good idea?

Wait. I am not agreeing that bums bald less. I am just saying I always notice since maybe that hair could have been put to more effective use but I don't think they differ much gene-wise so unless someone wants to be a bum for the hair, it seems not pertinent. Sorry for not being more explicit. I agree with your line of analysis. I haven't been homeless but I have been without fixed address and having to change hotels whenever a convention comes in and you are right. Lack of shelter is terrifying and you realize right away that we can pretty much only function from say 55 degrees fahrenheit during the day without clothes and maybe 90 degrees at night but rain always makes 55 degrees into a hyperthermia situation. I used to watch Naked and Afraid and found the fact that you can make yourself more cold-proof if you will very interesting. Some would walk in the snow beforehand naked for as long as they could stand it. Hyperthermia caused by rain can be deadly. I am always amazed at how ancient man stayed warm in say, Siberia.

Less stress only relates to the idea that alcohol as a depressant might reduce a specific kind of stress but it's terrifying in general to have no roots and no family to fall back on and often concomitantly mental illness can be co-morbid.

Shane MacGowan has great hair despite being a chronic alcoholic and drug addict

Shane MacGowan has great hair despite being a chronic alcoholic and drug addict

So did JFK and he was addicted to lots of stuff. So did Ronald Reagan have amazing hair but he was a morally crusading well, not among the most well thought of politicians. Clinton and Bush II both had great hair as did Obama and now the last two are transplant guys. Dylan was white/semitic and didn't bald and had a shitty beard which correlates to not going bald. This guy's beard is sort of eh, in the middle but what's the point except the thread is interesting as sort of I wonder why. I can't bear to look at those teeth so what's the point of hair anyway with typical British teeth. No idea who this guy even is as UK people seem to have celebrities unknown in the U.S. but the reverse seems much less to be true.

I shudder at the poor man's teeth. Why not get implants?

If you honestly think that those are typical British teeth then those tranny drugs are rotting your brain.

It's a joke from the Simpsons related to the Big British Book of Smiles when Maggie got braces. I do think until when I do not know that British dentistry seemed sup-par and I have heard Brits say this too. It's a common joke over here among stand up comedian types enough that it was in the Simpsons.

But why make it personal and deride the medications that transgender people take? They certainly do not rot your brain, not do they cause sexual fixation like T does. It is possible that MtF's and FtM's both increase in IQ because of the changes in verbal and spatial abilities perhaps being in addition to, not in depletion of male or female relative strengths. I didn't attack you personally so I recommend you expunge and I will expunge this.
