re: Hair loss

First off, don’t listen to all the “just shave it people”. It’s 2022, if you don’t wanna lose your hair, you don’t have to.
Is a shaved head better than some awful receding, wispy, combover thing? Of course! Is it better than an actual decent head of hair? Fvck no.
Get on dutasteride or finasteride. The former is stronger so I take it to ensure no loss, but the finasteride is almost as good. I know some get the whiskey dick on them, but fortunately I never did so for me it was no side effects.
I started doing this at ~28, and everything immediately stopped thinning, even got a little thicker in spots. I was fortunate to still have a pretty thick head of hair that I then about 5 years later got a transplant that added some thickness to the crown and to the temples, and now I’m rocking as full a head of hair at 35 that I had at 15.
If you catch it early enough, you can absolutely keep all your hair with the pills and make it even thicker with one surgery. If you wait too long, then yea you could be fvcked. It’s all about when you catch it.

Ignore the “just accept it and shave it off” dudes, they obviously don’t have any choice and it makes themselves feel better. Welcome to modern medicine. This doesnt have to be that complicated or expensive.
Finasteride and it’s relatives are a Very small pill and only costs around $15 a month. In about 3 months you should stop any shedding and soon after get some light regrowth. Start this now!
For a more dramatic increase in hair, use with Minoxidil. Minoxidil is more work but gets results in about 5 months. Probably costs another $10 a month. It’s best if used twice a day but many just use it once at night and see progress. The negatives are some possible scalp itching and you will loose a lot of what you gained when you stop. (If on finasteride as well, there shouldnt be much loss). It has to be taken consistently, so only start if you are committed. Don’t go on/off/on/off or all you will get is shedding.
People claim a roller helps some, especially if used in conjunction with the above.
Again, if nothing else, get on the pill asap. (Like call/email your doc or jump on a free app today and get it moving). A lot of the above can probably be bought in bulk to save some money but either way we are only talking about a 3/4 drinks worth a month.
The baldies will also booday about the commitment time but you already do other things everyday like shave and brush your teeth. If you want hair, popping a pill isnt hard. Keep it by the sink for when you do the other things.

i mean this is cool and all but your journey isnt over.
Of cpourse you dont have to lose your hair, but you have to get on the pills early and pay a bunch for transplants. Some people just cant swing that
