It's all happening so fast

[Chris C]

I've prided myself on my hair MY ENTIRE LIFE. It was always my best physical feature. My uncle and my grandpa on my mom's side are bald as hell, and I've always noticed how unatractive it was. Six months ago I started noticing those little baldness horns in my hairline. Then I started to shed. Now those horns are cutting into the side of my skull, and the shedding of the baldness on my crown has accelerated to the point where I can see it if I take a photograph. I started on propecia and rogaine a month ago and continue to aplly the rogaine to the crown but I dont' do it to my hairline because I fear it will just shed at an accelerated rate and the hair will not grow back. Plus it makes my hair greasy as hell. I'm 5'6 and dread being a bald short guy. I look in the mirror and put on a pouty model image a la Zoolander but I just feel like a total f** when I do this. I look at myself in every mirror I pass. I hate this I'm trying to put this out of my mind but all the booze in the world could not kill this feeling. THIS SUCKS SO HARD.

Hey Chris, I know how you feel about your hair. Two years ago my hair used to be thick as hell and I always used to get compliments from the barber and other people about it. Now it looks just so damn thin. I can´t even use gel, because it shows so much scalp. Hair loss is in my mind 24/7 since then. It is just not fair, this feeling is killing me from the inside....
