And all you British guys are blowing a theory of mine out of the water: when it gets too bad, I was planning to move to London. The girls don't care over there...
Kyriakin said:When my hair grows to a length of about an inch, my Norwood 2 hairline makes it look sh*t. The terrible hairline just gets magnified, and hiding it requires half and hour of application of gels, powders and waxes every morning. Does anyone else just think "screw this" every so often, and just shave it off, only to regret it almost immediately? 3 months of agonising hair growth to make myself look less sh*t, and hide my crap hairline, and I shave it all away in one mad instant.
I have big ears, and look sh*t bald. I was a f*****g model when I was 17, and when I look at those photos, I want to f*****g cry. I look in the mirror now, and I look like a f*****g goblin. I won't leave the house without a hat (I still look good in a hat, apparently), and I feel that everything I do is undermined by my hair. Furthermore, hair loss has turned me into somebody I don't want to be. I've become bitter, twisted and obsessive. I feel like I would sacrifice ANYTHING for a normal head of hair. My friendships, degree or every pennt and posession I own.
Furthermore, you have to put up with twats with full heads of hair telling you that "it's no big deal", or, worse still, wankers telling you that "at least you don't have cancer". True, I don't have cancer, but I have had the last few years of my life stifled by this shitty f*****g affliction.
Society's attitude to baldness sucks. Being overweight is always seen with sympathy in today's PC world (even though it is avoidable), while the totally involuntary problem of hair loss is still seen as a joke. Insecure guys who try and hide hairloss with combovers and hairpieces are mocked and ridiculed. While thousands of shitty treatments pop up to try and con money out of people's insecurities.
Next up we have Minoxidil and Propecia. The worst 'proven treatments' on the face of the earth. Lets be honest, it's like fighting a forset fire with a glass of water. I don't want to wait a year to notice a 'slight improvement'. That 1000 pounds might have come in more useful somewhere else.
PLEASE, GOD, LET ME HAVE MY f*****g LIFE BACK!!!!

Hey man I agree with you. I am 28 and really quit going to clubs and such due to my hair jumping ship. I think it sucks that I have to suffer like everyone else here and I can't do a damm thing about it. I mean if running working out or something could cure it and I did not do it then shame on me but it is not really my fault or anything I did. People don't see it that way. So I have to suffer, I mean I had cool hair in high school now well it SUCKS. I use to get my hair cut at the high priced salons to get a good one, now getting a hair cut is like pulling teeth I hate it. As far as Propecia goes, I am not going to take anything that is going to maybe mess up my Sex life. I asked the doctor about Propecia he said it might work but it has the sexual side effects so WTF is a man to do? I am lucky I have a woman I am going to merry soon, but it also affects getting a job, anything you do in all aspects. I mean I feel like I have been cursed. Like I am being punished by God or something. I mean they can stop major illness and stuff why can't they make my hair grow back, or at least stop it from falling out, they put a man on the moon for god sake.

If every man was cured of hairloss, the phamasutical companies would lose loads of money that they currently make on their products (one new black hair in 4 months - thanks minoxidil).....sorry.... got all bitchy again.
Seriously though, do these Verrous hairs always become proper hair? What's the process? Do they become more 'stubbly' (ie. thicker), and then develop colour? If every verrous hair on my temple was a proper hair, I'd have a box hairline.
Also, does having a darker patch of hair at the frant of my head (the front-middle of a NW2 hairline) than my crown, mean I'm diffusing?
Fuckety f***...
