So, I created a thread some weeks ago but it got lost in the rollback...so lets do it all again.
I started to lose my hair at the age of 18. Unitil my 20s I was always considered not attractive, very tall but also very thin and some acne problems. I gained weight, let my hair grow out long, got medications for my acne and all of a sudden girls was all around me. I felt very good about myself,I liked doing things,talking to people, everything was fun when I felt good about myself and the way i looked.Everything seemed so easy when you're considered good looking.
But I was also aware of my male pattern baldness and how it would impact my looks. I started the big 3, but had to quit minoxidil because of an extremely itchy scalp. I thought I got sides from propecia, ED, and decided to stop taking the drug. Much later I found out that the ED was a result of my p**rn addiction. My girlfriend back then, and some friends encouraged me to shave my head, so at 25 I did.
" it really doesn't suit you" was the first thing my ex said when she looked at me. " cancer patient", "What have you done!!?" "grow your hair back, you cant pull it off", "you have a really big head" "you look like a big baby" was comments from the same friends that told me to shave my head. The times when girls approached me was long gone. I lived like this for three years, hating the way I looked, trying to avoid photographs and mirrors.
Then, one night at this club I was wearing a baseball cap. All of a sudden I was considered attractive again, girls started flirting, friends told me how different i looked and that they almost didn't recognize me. " You're like a completely different person with that cap on". It was to obvious to ignore, I look so incredible much better with something covering my head and that gives my face the right proportions. I've been a hat prisoner for two years (Im 30 now) now and people tell me quite often that I look good, well people that only see me with the cap on.But Im living a lie. I can't live like this, under a hat, and I can't accept the way I look with a shaved head. The problem is, what can I do? Im somewhere between Norwood 5-6 I think, with a pretty large head, and I'm not sure I'm a good candidate for a transplant. I have a vague plan, that involves stopping further loss with propecia( kind of scares me though) or wait for this Italian lotion and then do a couple of hair transplants, and use concealers, but i don't know, maybe I'ts all to late? what do you guys think?
