Dear God I'm Blind!

[Deaner]

I just parted my hair and my scalp reflected ALL THE LIGHT BACK AT ME AND IM GOING BLIND! But seriously, what the hell's the deal? Why's my scalp all shiny, it's never been like this, I noticed it instantly when I parted my hair, freaked me out. It looks like I have a mirror for a scalp. What does this mean?

:shock:

You're fucked.

hahaha, lighten up. I asked a question in a different more creative way. Lemme rephrase this for those of you who are losing your sense of humor along with your hair:

What does it mean if your scalp is incredibly shiny, almost greasy looking?

Thanks for your time.

 

[Guest]

You are fucked.

:shock:

Sebum. Like an oily appearance? Usually coincides with male pattern baldness.

your losing your hair, your fucked, enjoy a life of baldness dude. May I recommend some scalp wax, give you that shiny look whilst you sport your bald scalp (sorry just taking the negative approach like other members of this board when somone posts a question)

shower?

 

[Guest]

What does this mean?

That the scalp is very pale and thus reflective because it gets shaded from the Sun by your hair and now that your barnet is thinner you can see more scalp when you part it.

Or possibly some kind of extremely rare disease that kills people who worry too much after being on hairloss medication for aound 3 weeks.

funny tynan, but I'm not worried, I was just wondering what it meant. And I've been on for 7 bud

 

[Guest]

7 Weeks!! sorry I didn't realise it was so long, nearly two whole months now, it certainly has been an eventful 49 days I must say!

stick in there it's probably nothing.

 

[mrlestat]

You are fucked. :shock:

Seriously though you are fucked...

I too developed SHS (shiny head syndrome) after only 7 weeks of medication. The key to living with it is to avoid bright places, try lurking in caves, sewer systems & Saddam Hussein like fox holes. No I think you'll be just fine.. :roll:

wash your hair hick?

 

[Guest]

mix 2oz of boot polish with your minoxidil.

Ahoy Matey,

Ye paarrt ye hair and blind ye! Careful where ye ole scallywag point ye sword.

Deaner, you sure do post alot with observations and worries, I also see but disregard a few minuites later. You should stop worrying and let the finasteride work, and start enjoying life and get away from the mirror.

it's normal to have a shiny dome with male pattern baldness.
