No Job, No qualifications, No life, No sex, No gf - All because I started to lose my hair very early at 17. And I was shy before the loss, imagine the state I'm in now. Fucked for life! 26 and NW3
Life ruined

How can a NW3 ruin someone's life?
Seriously, expect any of the really bald guys to tear you apart, because no one considers an NW3 as "bald"
I'm also in my late twenties, NW3 with good density left, pretty shy childhood, with a huge forehead since I was born, and I seem to be doing just fine ( But I still don't get any :woot: )
Too bad your life has not been the best, but you really need to change things quickly, because if minimal hair loss has been so bad, just expect how things go when you are really bald
Sorry, but this is another case of someone making their hair loss more problematic than it actually is

im nw4 at 28, i think i was nw3 at 26 or about,
it most be said, it really can ruin your life if your not strong enough, i think what gave me power is the HairLossTalk.com site, showed me that im not the only balding guy in town at my age, and that im NOT being delusional about things.
people tend to say things like "girls dont care if you got confidence" and then put the blame on you!!! (without even knowing how much they put on your shoulders!, not only you fucked beacuse you are balding, now that girls dotn find you attractive ITS YOUR GODDAMN FAULT!! idiots!!!) is utter BS, i know for a fact as i've been to both sides, when i had hair i had TWICE the action and from time to time a chick would hit on me!! , now when its lost, i have to work REALLY hard to get some and from less attractive girls, this site helped me understand that its not my fault. that alone takes a huge tole off your back.

my life was ruined by hairloss as well.
i hope we find a cure soon.
until then my suggestion is - as always - to get a hairpiece, if you're afraid of the stigma just move town or country or something, you need to get your hair -therefore your life- back A.S.A.P., and if it requires a hairpiece and leaving town then so be it, we only have one life.
I was a slick bald NW5 @ 23 but shaved clean bald at 22, im 5' 4" as well so that may help get you get back some perspective that there are people worse of than us, + patrick stewart was very bald at 19 with no hope of fixing it as well.
good luck, and may we all live a regular life (like 99% of men under 35 who maintain their crown) one day!

hairpeiceman, I'm considering a wig. I still have hair, NW2 but diffusing badly. I WANT my long hair thick hair back so bad. Seriously I look out of proportion with this shitty hair. Just wondering, where do you get your peices from, and was it worth it for you man? what age are you now?

i shaved slick bald when I was 22, i got hair systems when i was 24, i am 25 now.
it is up to you whether it is worth it, there are people who saved bald at 22 and live a full social life in including dating and are 100% happy, it depends on how you look bald and i guess how tall you are.
i think there was one guy on here who was in early 20s and shaved bald, he had moles on his head and then got it fixed by doctor which left scars on his head yet he didn't wear hair he just was bald, he was tall though yet he is happy, good for him i say.
anyway you can try hairdirect, toplace, cool piece, ba hair apparent etc, just try for a swiss lace front and skin base back, the anoyance is you need to send your own template, your best going to a shop to get a custom made one and they take your template there, then the rest you can order can be via hair direct, just spend a few weeks looking at hair direct videos and learn about adhesives and stuff.
but for me i needed full cap becuase my horshoe was diffuse thinning, you may get away with a top piece, that is what 99% of people do, a top piece.
but in my case i had to do full cap becuase my horshoe fails to even grow, im basically the unluckiest guys out there!

also spend at least 7 days looking at videos on hair direct, you will see guys with long hair there looking great, do this and research it hard before taking the plunge, the main issue with the hairpiece is the social stigma, if there was a pill to take to make you have that hair it would be easy, alas it's not there and people will ask you how you managed to obtain a full head of hair overnight lol
hey mate are you generally happy with how yours looks now? how many do you use per year? and how long can you keep it on for? Yeah I know about hair direct. TBH money is the only issue for me right now.
haha man how did you deal with people asking about the sudden full head of hair? Oh and, having the full peice surely is alright kinda cause then you don't have to worry about blending with your existing hair surely?
I guess i would just get a top one. My sides and back hair breaks my heart cause it's so thick and luxurious... I mean if i wasn't thinning on top, my hair would be beautiful haha. I mean, it was amazing when i was 18. I've been balding 3-4 years atm, and like, i think the reason i'm not bald yet is because of my original density. the killer for me is the difference between the top and then the hair on the sides and back. Just looks ridiculous. So yeah i'd probably get a wig for the top and hopefully not struggle to much with blending.
If anything, i'm early twenties too man, and i guess people wouldn't question as much if your wearing a wig since your face would still look young.
Anyway thanks alot for sharing your story and for the information, appreciate it alot!

I'd switch my horribly diffuse NW1 for a normal thickness NW3 in a heartbeat. Those other problems are of your own making, dude... you can achieve all those things (well maybe not a gf 
) even with low confidence and hairloss, I and many others on this board are the living proof of that.
And for once I have to agree with Ori83. Ppl who haven't experienced hairloss can't really know sh*t about how us hairloss sufferers feel. It's not a funny feeling when people talk to your head instead of your face. It's not a funny feeling knowing you can never grow out your hair and style it when you're 24-25. It's not fun to see ppl twice your age or more with a perfect head of hair. The day you realize that your 65 yr old father has more hair than you is a drag. All in all, hairloss just totally blows donkeys.

I had a fucked up social life since the beginning of school. Hairloss didn't change anything except that it sucks and makes you feel geneticaly screwed

The problems for me really started in high school. For some reason I became kind of a social recluse during that time, probably because of my insecurities about certain things. I had and still have some friends, but not a single one with whom I can be totally open with. Well I guess that's part of our culture aswell, not to "whine" about life's difficulties.

To me no qualifications and your lack of a job are by far bigger contributory factors as to why you don't have a girlfriend.
While I accept a norwood 3 isn't exactly a perfect head of hair, the main thing is you still have plenty of options and more importantly to Joe Bloggs you have pretty much a full head of hair. Only those well versed in the art of norwood watching (most of us on HairLossTalk.com) would peg you as someone who's balding. Being a norwood 3 at the grand old age of 22 I think I can speak with some authority on this issue. :woot:

I know that those with more advanced stages of balding are unsympathetic towards those who are lamenting their NW3 hairlines, but consider this: Did you go from a Norwood 1 to a 6 over night? Sure, it might have happened at a quicker rate, but someone with a NW3 likely isn't going to stay there. They have to endure the agony of watching their hairline wither away each day, and the combover/styling techniques to cover it up become less effective with each day as the hair continues to thin and deplete. It's an agonizing process, and while you might envy the amount of hair that they have less, they're likely headed for the same fate, only they're left to dread the potential of what is to be, which is consuming. I look at pictures of myself when I was 20 with a full head of hair, even though the early signs were there and I think "Bastard, look at all of that hair and I took it for granted! I'd love to go back to that time" but the thing is, that person became what I am anyways.
