The process of balding, for the sake of this thread we'll say it's agressive, or being a NW7?

I'll just say Thepain that I'ld describe aggressive male pattern baldness (my sit.) as purgatory and NW7 (my predetermined destiny) as hell which
more or less is my
point of no return.

I used to think of this, how I wish it would all just go, the process of balding is much worse than being bald etc.

But to be honest, I don't know what I was thinking. Besides, if I wanted it all to go, I could just shave it, it made no sense.

Perfect explanation. I feel I am in purgatory right now as I watch my hair get thinner and thinner by the f*cking day. It's complete, agonizing mental rape, especially if you've had a botched hair transplant that is becoming more and more visible. There are VERY VERY few things I wouldn't do for a decent head of normal looking hair. I would go to my garage right now and chop off both hands with a miter saw. Despite being an athlete, I would cut off my right leg, with a coping saw, slowly.. for just a decent head of f*cking hair. Man, I think this post has shown be how messed up I am. :wacko::sobbing::doh::crazy:

depending on how bad he is he could still recover with big 3 and another hair transplant maybe.

other people make the problem with hair pieces. if i was only around cool people i wouldn't mind wearing one but there's too many judgmental assholes that would ruin it

who cares about what other people think. People need to stop living their lives according to others, and their approval.

A hair system is undetectable, and is well worth it's weight n gold.


I see no reason for anyone who's advanced in hair loss to not give it a try. if it doesn't work, then throw it out. You loose nothing accept the possibility of being happy.

You said it. Seek counselling.

And shave your hair short...nobody would know the f'n diference.

Being bald is much much worse than going bald. Balding is torture for sure, but the more hair you have left, the better you will look, even if you do agonize over your declining hair every day. At least in the early stages you can still look somewhat presentable...

At NW6...if one have damn face..any one will look more dashing than at nw3/4/5 levels.


Crop the hair little and see the benefits..
sure you won't attract most girls but Reverse matching where sometimes a girl may find you attractive..

Being a NW7 hands down. Going bald is incredibly hard, but to actually BE bald is that much worse. I get away with extensions and Toppik for now and I think I have it bad, but there are people with very few strands of hair on their head that have it even worse than me (although I do think of myself as bald now). I think about the future and how that will be me eventually, and that is absolutely horrifying.

I assume you've considered hair transplant when it gets really bad? Some of these look good.

I have diffuse thinning so a transplant is out of the question sadly. However, I don't know what my final balding pattern will be, so maybe I can get a transplant just to create a natural hairline for my hair piece (when I get that). I guess I'll just have to wait and see if I have a stable donor area or not.

Are some of those women not diffuse? i.e

You have to have a stable donor area to be able to do a transplant, something it doesn't look like I have. Like I said, I don't know my final balding pattern yet, so it would be stupid to do a transplant in my situation. Those women probably had a stable donor area to harvest grafts from. You can't do a transplant if your donor area is thinning as well as your top, and if you think otherwise you are foolish.

I'd be curious to see how long this woman's transplant will last. The second picture was taken one year after the procedure. Isn't that too soon to tell if the transplanted hairs are DHT resistant? I'm a diffuse thinner too, losing hair from the back donor area. I wonder how a doctor could tell which hairs are resistant to DHT and which are not.
