HERE is my argument, by an older age like 26 you've already built this image of yourself. You know f*** all at 16, if you're NW5 by then that's who you are man. To have glorious hair for many years then suddenly lose it over a couple is a massive loss of identity. What does a balding 15 year old know about that good life? He was NW4 at 14 years old!

Nobody here agrees with you, the younger you go bald, the worse it is. Being nw5 at 16 must be a living hell, you are the odd one out and will be seen as a weirdo with some kind of illness because balding at that age is extremely rare, teenagers are also way more insecure than adults and fitting in is one of the most important things at that age. I can imagine going bald in your teens is very traumatic and you will hold that trauma for quite a long time.
The older you get, the more socially acceptable it is to be balding, after 45 you're pretty much expected to have some sort of hair loss.

I'm only defending ME because you guys were the first to insinuate that I thought it was better. It's not. The point was that if you bald so early may as well accept that's your image fat chance any treatment would save you, and getting on AAs in your teens? Robbing yourself of all your youth

Lol I should have thought like that at 18 diffusing nw6 to accept it. "Ah well I'm balding at this age! That's just who I am I guess! I'm all good now!" Lmao

Think of it this way, are you happier now than you would have been if you'd just decided to just_shave_it_bro? Is your hair glorious yet after all the effort and thought you've given to your hair? If it is, then great man. If isn't, wouldn't your life have been better to never know this place, to just not give a f*** about hair since it was nw6 so early anyway?
Click to expand...
Uhhh no . . . No idea what your point is I wouldn't have been happier either way. And why in god's name would going nw6 so early have made me not give a f*** about hair?!

Lmao this is making absolutely zero sense.

Kinda does make sense to someone who had good hair until like 28, because to me being NW6 at 16 years old is losing it too young, so I'm thinking of it from the perspective of my age and if I had lost it that early. If I had, then what hair would I really have aspired to have? When I was goofing off at 14? Everyone has hair at 14. I wouldn't have really built a solid image of myself as someone with great hair if I had genetics of NW7 at 9 years old.

I think you have a hard time understanding exactly how young that is to lose hair like that, and because you are that young i can see why you can only reflect on your high school years. You've my sympathy of course, I wouldn't wish it on myself, but truth be told if I was one of 'em cursed teenage balders I wouldn't have ever thought too highly of my follicles to really give a damn about fighting for hair

But if you're still seriously defending balding at 28 as worse than balding at 17 this is just blatantly obviously an excuse to pretend to have it the worst lol. I'm done , you won't admit I (and other teen baldies) have it a lot worse for some reason but you still know it's true.

If I remember your hair always looked decent to me and I have BDD. You had very thick density. Has it gotten worse over the years?

If i grow it long and style it well to hide the thinning no one can really notice anything wrong. But i'm at the point where any little change of density would completely f*** me up. Walking on thin ice literally

I don't know why he thinks that teenagers are some emotionless, insentient robots who can't think or feel sh*t. What he said would be true if he was talking about toddlers and children until they're 7 years old or something. But after that you're pretty much fully aware of everything and losing your hair like a freak in high school won't be a pleasing experience since i literally failed a year because of it and was suicidal as f*** when i suddenly became a thin NW2 out of nowhere at 17

Then just do that and try to maintain as long as you can. I have been doing it for decades and as long as I don't hear a comment that I am losing my hair which so far has never happened then I am fine. Did you ever use finasteride or dutasteride?

Is there's even anything to maintain with? I barely recovered from Finasteride/Dutasteride recently and i don't want to get myself into that sh*t again
