Diffuse thinning is an overall loss of density with no obvious single bald spot. So your entire scalp is visible through transparent hair. Bald spots will probably appear later.

It's grotesque. I am one. Therefore I am grotesque. :)

Yeah, if you suit the buzzed look it's fine. Unfortunately nature sculpted my head from an early draft of Gollum... :shock:

Trust me I feel you!! I am about a Norwood 3 or 4 possibly even worse at 32 yo and single. I saw myself on videotape the other day, and literally I have been depressed since than not wanting to even leave the house. (seriously!)

The same thing happened to me - went to a friend's wedding, got caught on tape. I haven't seen it, but plenty of people have and it's a great source of amusement to them, bastards. Wish I'd known about Toppik back then - it might not have deceived the people there but it would have fooled the camera and posterity. Now, even if I regrow, there's a record of me as I 'was'.

I hate this sh*t, I really f*****g hate it, f***, f***, f***, f***, f*****g sh*t, f***.

Yeah, once you actually see yourself on tape or pics and realize how bad it is you (well me) want to jump off the closet bridge.

Nothing happened at the wedding, except the girls kept clear of me. It was only afterwards when someone told me they'd seen the tape and it showed I was balding that I realised why they kept clear.

That was how I realised it had become so noticeable - not the best way to find out.

Being diffuseis better than being a regular male pattern baldness sufferer, because, as someone already said, buzz cut looks better if you're just thin all over an area rather than say a receding hairline, AND, diffusers typically respond better to drugs like finasteride and minoxidil because while the loss is over a greater area, the severity of the loss is typically not as great when compared to equivalent male pattern baldness sufferers.

Yeah, diffuse isn't so bad in the early stages. But as it goes on and on the buzz becomes the only option. Hey, JayMan, I'm getting some regrowth in my crown at last. In a couple of months I think I might hit the town again. :D

Edit:

So hopefully my time on HairLossTalk.com will be coming to a close (you'll be glad to hear :wink: )

Wedding sucks a lot. In all weddings i went i was alone. It sucks. That's why i wont go to weddings (except of my brother), family or community parties anymore. They suck a lot.

Yeah wedding videos suck major ***. I knew it was a big mistake when I decided to watch my friend's wedding video with him and his family. Anyways, there was footage of all of us outdoors under the bright sun, so when I appeared on the screen all I saw was light being reflected from my big old dome. I was a nw2 during the time my friend got married, but I swear, I looked like a friggin' nw3.5 thanks to Mr.Sun.

But the thing I found weird is that no one made a comment. Either:
A) they didn't notice
B) they did notice but were being polite or
C) it's already common knowledge that I'm a balding melon head

you missed a golden opportunity, weddings are when you go and pick of women who get all excited for whatever unknown female reasons, receptions are awesome
