    side effects of minoxidil?

    Hey guys, I'm basically new to this site, but I have an urgent question. I have been using rogaine (extra strength) for 8 years now...ever since I was 18. I know from genetics that I will have more than average body hair and thick facial hair (chin, cheeks, etc) from observations of my...

    Nice!!

    That's a great look man...I can see the confidence oozing from you with the system on, and I'm sure everybody else feels good when around you... Good choice!!

    I Wish it Was Socially Acceptable for Dudes to Sport Wigs...

    As said before, you only notice the bad ones...dudes that don't take the time to seriously do their research, and just glue anything to their heads. Same goes for hair transplants. Some doctors will butcher your head, while others will do a good job. Look at toplace.com for pics of hair systems. I'd...

    Nostalgia, what it does to me, and how I no longer love myse

    I don't get you guys...all you do is complain. Either except yourself as losing all your hair...go the shaved route and look like a cueball the rest of your life, or do something about it. Look, there are basically three options: hairsystems, hair transplant or HM in the future. The previous guy who keeps...

    Hairloss is starting to wear on me

    This life sucks...Anybody out there still think hair is an important factor as a young guy just entering the job market? So I have three job interviews over the phone. Due to my education (MS in Chemical Engineering) and related work experience, I am offered one position in Chicago after 30...

    Avoiding eye contact

    Do you notice when holding a conversation with someone, they tend to try to avoid looking at you as much as possible? I have been noticing this a lot recently...just got my hair cut short this past weekend, and I have a huge forehead (high hairline). I catch glimpses of myself in mirrors at...

    Asking for honest opinion

    Response to the shaved head opinion Shaved heads do look good...on some people. It depends on your features, head shape, etc. For me it does not work: 1) You need to have a fairly high density of roots left, or else, you will end up with that Mr. Clean, shiny look. This even goes for...

    Asking for honest opinion

    Yup, you are right about the comb-over effect. Nothing looks as ridiculous or draws as much attention as a comb-over. I comb my hair forward, but since it is pretty thin now, it is starting to look more like a comb over, and less natural. As far as the head shaving thing goes, it would...

    Asking for honest opinion

    P.S. It's really disturbing to have your boss/research advisor have twice as much hair as you do, with a 25 year age difference :-x

    Asking for honest opinion

    hairwegoagain herewegoagain How do you know this is true? I too have seen bad pieces, and just feel sorry for the poor guy. But what about the ones we don't notice. Have you truly experienced what you say above. Living/working close to someone, knowing they are wearing a "rug," constantly...

    Asking for honest opinion

    About the woman thing... Do you really think she would care if it looks good? I mean 95% of women wear makeup daily...we don't go around saying that it's fake and should not be worn. As long as it's not overdone, and improves the image (and confidence) of the lady, we do not care, right...

    Asking for honest opinion

    How can you detect an all-Swiss lace system without tape? Plus, wearing product (gel,etc) would deter anyone from trying to feel your scalp without messing up the hair. As far as price goes, i almost got sucked into a Farrell unit ($4000). Thank heavens, I said no to the man himself...He is...

    Asking for honest opinion

    Q for Aplunk Aplunk, You have responded negatively in the past to hair systems. Do you do this because you have had negative experience with them?? If you have never tried them, how do you know? Nowdays, I cannot tell is someone is wearing a system, and there are way too many older guys...
