need a permanent solution

[amrod]

while the medication im on has helped my situation i think its kinda come to a standstill... probably because i had to lower my propecia dosage to 1mg every other day instead of daily (because of sex drive problems).

with an expensive haircut... some toppik for the crown, and some hard work styling i can appear like a normal person. no one would notice my norwood (even though im like a Norwood 2v). the problem is i still cant conduct my life properly i always haev to consider every stupid hair related scenario before leaving the house. for example...

in the event my hair wont style right ill put a cap on which means i wont be able to go clubbing... ill have to tell my friends we should only go to a pub instead (im not sure if any of them ever guess my reasoning). in the past few weeks ive met this cute girl and both times shes been going on to a club afteer the pub and invited me along... ive declined due to hat and shes thought that im boring.

THIS IS f*****g RIDICULOUS. i cant sleep in the same bed as a girl because i wash my toppik off before going to sleep. no one can touch my hair... man ive been known to wear a f*****g HAT WHILE HAVING SEX. do u know how ridiculous that is... this sh*t is heavily impeding on my relationships with women and its not a self esteem issue. ofcourrse i lie to everyone i never say i have a problem with my hair and no one ever sees me when i dont have either my hat on or my toppik on + styled (and believe me thats a b**ch living in a house with 3 other students)

its fucked up because i still have alot of love for myself, ive got pretty high self esteem DISPITE the norwood, i get more girls then my mates n id say im a good looking guy - but i am a f*****g SLAVE to my norwood. norwood dictates my life not me.

when does this godamn joke end... sooner or later im gonna meet a girl who i actually get serious with... wtf am i gonna tell her? no sorry u cant sleep in the bed with me or touch my hair!? man this girl i was with at beginning of summer i slept in bed with her 2ce when she pursueded me too... BUT I WORE A f*****g BEANIE... A BEANIE ON MY HEAD WHILE I WAS ASLEEP. it was f*****g IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE I WAS SO GODAMN WARM. f*** i f*****g hate that stupid b**ch for making me do that. i hate my norwood. hairloss is a problem u can deal with... wear a hat. HIDING IT CAUSES SO MANY PROBLEMS.

girls
clubs... smart dressed places
swimming
the list goes on

sry just needed to drop that rant. in summary: i need a permanent solution not so i look better but so i can relax and govern my life instead of let my norwood govern it.

If u can get your hairloss to stop and feel comfortable about it you could get a transplant. Thats permanent, I think.
This is a cliche but maybe its all in your head.

ive been thinking about this also, i think really only option is to shave your head and move on, easier said than done

mate i live in same kinda set-up (shared flat with other students)and am goin thru a killer shed at the moment... so it's a hassle for me tryin to look normal as well as sorting out my life 'cos it all depends on my hair! it's so annoying..i used to be able to drop things at the last minute for a night out clubbing, get ready quick time and be out the door in 5 minutes, but now it's like i'll have to know if i'm goin out clubbing quite a bit in advance, and if i do know i'm going out, i'll actually style my hair way in advance, annoying to have to do that but it's the only way..cos once i start drinking and get a bit tipsy i'm not gonna be confident that i'm applying dermmatch properly etc so getting ready at the last minute isn't an option any more still , i have to be honest , once the dermmatch is in and i think i look semi-good (having checked myself in every mirror from every angle in every light!!), then gettin drunk and having a night out can be nearly as good as it was before, as long as i've got a hairstyle that suits me and holds...

had similar issues with girls too at the start...but now cos all im gettin is one night stands,i don't care too much, like if i go out and pull and take a girl home to mine,i dont mind leaving the dermmatch in over night, and dont give a f*** what i look like in the morning (i don't really want them to stick around to be honest so it's prob better if i look worse!! lol) ..but yeah if i got a proper girlfriend, this hair business would f*** me up properly...

like when i was with my girl last year b4 hairloss, i would get on the tube to meet her (gettin the tubes a nightmare now cos of the 'wind' blowin as the train approaches fuckin up ur hair), we could go and chill in the park, in the sunshine, have a walk around etc, no worries about the weather, no other hassles and i could genuinely be myself...now if i was in that situation, i would be paranoid as hell with even the slightest bit of wind, in fact i simply wouldn't be able to chill outdoors for too long unless i was wearing a cap....i just want to be able to be myself and live my usual life!!
