Women below 30 are shallow, and balding is unattractive. Deal with it.

The user asked if anyone using finasteride long term had stabilised their loss. I have. Who knows where I'd be now if I hadn't taken it. I'm certainly not a NW1. At least I've posted pictures unlike you.

castration doesn't reverse. once it's gone it's gone. stop misleading n00bs, they'll be pulling sharp objects out of their drawers, evil sock face.

Great, even castration doesn't help now. Holy **** ****!

 

[ChrisW1980uk]

You've just been complaining about loss of libido/functionality. Wouldn't castration cause that too?

 

[hairplz]

I'm not going to ever castrate myself, it's just awful that even something so dramatic cannot help it.

 

[ChrisW1980uk]

Thought you were getting a hair transplant? Make up your mind!

 

[hairplz]

I will be getting one hopefully in second part of 2013. I still have to do some calculations.

But it all means **** if I keep losing my hair due to not taking dutasteride and I lose my dick due to taking it. That's the worst part!

How long until you're 30?

it can help. if you have a practically full head of hair (Norwood 1,5 - Norwood 2) then it might be worth it, if one is really desperate to not go bald. it just wont reverse the damage that has already been done. i don't see it as an valid option if you're already at least a Norwood 3 unless you plan on investing in some serious transplants.

Funny that those that cry about hairloss the most are the ones that have done the least to fight it

I've done modeling before and after I started losing my hair.

Has it been noticed? Yep. Has it made me more self-conscious? Probably. Do I still get compliments? Sure, but not as many as before. I realized that it makes no difference in the grand scheme of things.

Pal, if that's you in your avatar, what hairloss are you referring too? Norwood 1.5 by the looks of that, unless you are concealing some shocking diffuse thinning?

 

[SDK]

The toque is covering up my temples. I've got moderate temple recession and just a bit of crown thinning.

I'd say I'm a 2-2.5

Toque?

I'm wondering what type of modelling he did

Heh, when I was 18-19, I thought of doing hair-modeling. Since I even was voted "best hair" during prom. Even chicks were jealous. Ironic today.

Visiting this forum for the first time in probably a year.

I was pretty upset when I first noticed male pattern baldness. My hair was a good responder to Nizoral and Rogaine so I'm pretty fortunate and still have a thick head of hair at 24. Even though my hair is fine I found other things to despair about and my life isn't fine.

The problem is not the hair loss, the problem is my self-image. After realizing I stabilized at a NW1.5 my concern quickly shifted to my bad skin and acne... I had to fix it. Went on accutane, fixed that. Concerns immediately shifted to my ugly teeth. Spent 3k on a crown lengthening surgery, going for invisalign consultation next month.

I'm unhappy with my physique and I've got a workout routine going, because I need to get bigger and stronger and leaner. I want a nosejob. I'm too short to be accepted and respected at 5'8".

My point is the real problem is me, not balding. I might have body dysmorphic disorder. Or maybe I really am this ugly and all these things will improve my career and friendships and sex and romantic life.

Man, I hear ya. Girls used to just come and mess with my hair and talk about how much they loved it. I was always the pretty boy type and your avatar reminded me of senior Halloween dance where I went as Brad Pitt's character from Interview with a Vampire. Still have shoulder length hair but my hair doesn't have the same luster and my looks have matured. I think I looked better as a baby face haha.

Looks like you, me & slipy might be on the same carriage. Since all of us want to sport long hair. But now we are gradually forced to adapt to the look that's just not us.
Offtop: Btw, what's your situation with hairloss right now? How old are you? What norwood? Diffuse or receding?

Im 26, probably about a Norwood 2, and a diffuse thinner. I started the big 3 2 years ago after the top of my head and crown started looking pretty bad. I'll probably cut the long hair when I graduate next year. How about you?

22 years old. NW2, quite slowly diffusing in an NW5 pattern since 19.5 years old. My temples have gone very fast, but now it slowed down a bit. Only during last year other people started commenting. I only use nizoral shampoo right now.
