Now, I am aware that hairs on the scalp typically grow in clusters of 1–4. I was using my USB microscope the other day to have a look, and it was mostly twos I was seeing. Am I right in saying that one follicle has multiple hairs then (a unit)? If so, how does the balding process actually work...

He doesn't look terribly bad, but I still think he is punching well above his weight. She is extremely good-looking.

Who? Him?

There's this guy on YouTube who is as bald as a coot, but has an incredibly hot girlfriend. How has he done it? If you watch some of his older videos from a few years ago, he had hair but still didn't look anything special. Is it his charm? Is it his money? I think we could all learn a lesson.

Could someone to me about what the half-life of finasteride actually means. I’ve read that it only has a half-life of six hours, but then other sources have said that it takes a week of abstinence to see DHT levels rise to their previous levels. What is actually happening then every time I pop...

Something I’ve been interested in finding out is how follicular units diminish on the head. From my understanding, the hair follicular units on our scalps grow in clusters of 1–4. Does this mean that one follicle produces 1–4 hairs? And can you, say, lose three hairs from a follicle but still...

These pictures definitely confirm that Harry Kane has suffered with a degree of hair loss. Although has he receded or has he just gained a mature hairline? Only time will tell. It'll certainly be interesting to see how his hair progresses for the remainder of his 20s.

I was merely asking if it has an effect. I wouldn't want to be pissing out my finasteride in the same way I would not want to be shitting it out.

Something that I've been wondering for a while now is what effect does urinating have on the effectiveness of finasteride intake? I take a Propecia pill in the morning now (used to be evening instead), and I always tend to make it a habit of going for a piss before I pop a pill. But, is there...

Yes, but he did also have a scalp reduction surgery back in the '80s.

I didn't start fapping until 23, and I was already going bald years before. At worst — excessive fapping may accelerate baldness slightly, but it makes no fundamental difference.

I haven't undergone the procedure myself, but I am thinking of combining a hair transplant and scalp micropigmentation together at some point…

As horrible as it sounds, people still managed to cope though. I think these days there is far more pressure to have decent hair, particularly as a millennial. The internet-driven world we live in has done this to us.

It won't have damaged any follicles. The scalp micropigmentation ink only goes in as far as the epidermis skin layer, not the dermis as with a regular tattoo. It will not damage hair follicles.

I think we are just more aware of it. In fact, I think many of us these days are more aware even when somebody is at the very early stages of balding. We're looking out for it more than ever. I'm pretty sure a few decades ago there just wasn't anything you could do apart from wear a sh*t looking...
