    hair loss sucks. Its all about damage limitation folks.

    LMAO, that is me all over. Infact, I probably take it a step further as whenever I imagine the future, be it a year, 2 years or even 10 years time, I ALWAYS picture myself with a bald head. This despite that fact that my hairloss has been relatively quite slow (Norwood 2.5 now).

    Pepe Reina

    Pepe has got such an awesome head shape and that's why he pulls of the bald look so well. Also, like already mentioned, he's got that tanned look which helps a lot. I'm an LFC fan and I remember that when we signed him I never even thought twice about his hair (and this was despite me being...

    I hate myself today.

    I agree with this. A lot of people on here underestimate what the fear of going bald can do to you. You cannot just switch that fear off just because you may have a number of years left before you are slick bald. Remember, not everyone will be able to keep what they have left by using hairloss...

    Losing friends over hairloss

    Are we talking light-hearted banter here? What did he say exactly?

    Weird dreams you've had about your hair

    Me too. My dreams can be really weird at times, but upon waking up i can only ever remember bits and pieces. Infact i'm struggling to remember what it was i dreamt last night. I rarely dream about my hair though. One thing that does happen a lot is, upon waking up, literally the first thing...

    Why hair is like clothes.

    Personally, the whole growing a beard to compensate for going bald just doesn't cut it for me (no offence to anyone here). It's just too cliched and it seems that every bald guy has a bit of stubble or full beard to make up for their baldness. I agree to an extent, especially about looking...

    Hair Disciples

    Yeah, i've noticed i've been doing this a lot more lately. When i have to go to a public toilet, i now try and avoid looking at the mirror completely when i go to wash my hands. It can be a real confidence killer when your not actually feeling that bad, but all it takes is one glance into a...

    Impact

    Know exactly how you feel mate - right down to the part about acne as well. It just feels like one thing after another for sure. Why not just do the masters degree now and if afterwards you feel the same way, then fine. I think you'd regret it if after a few years you started to come to terms...

    The Israeli–Palestinian conflict

    Re: UK MP Sir Gerald Kauffman's Statement on Israel An incredibly moving speech. The most sense i've heard in a long time. Thanks for posting this.

    need advice/thoughts on my situation

    My view is that shaving it all off but still having a hairline is far better than being completely bald. The horseshoe pattern does not look good at all, whereas a buzz cut where your hairline is intact and you have a decent amount of hair on top can look good, especially if you have a good...

    Ever thought about killing yourself?

    Yeah, i've tried most of those things, none of which did anything for me. Currently keeping it under control using Benzoyl Peroxide (see the 'regimen' at acne.org). It's the only thing that has ever worked for me but is a pain in the *** in term of how long the whole routine takes (i know what...

    Ever thought about killing yourself?

    I've never seen suicide as an option to be honest. Even when at my lowest (dealing with acne and the subsequent acne scars) i never saw myself going down that route. I was incrediblely depressed, no doubt about that, but i always thought that if things got really bad i would just move to another...

    You know what?

    IMO, you are absolutely spot on here. I seem quite a distance away from true acceptance at the moment, though i am working on it.

    That's good to hear. Good luck with it. Hope i can reach that place soon.

    Professor made a joke about my hairloss today

    From what you've written, it seems to me that when she said "at least those of us that have hair", she was referring to bald guys in general. Like others have said, i think you are being a bit sensitive hear. Now, i'm not saying that bald guys don't get targeted by others who like to make...
