started losing my hair in my early 30’s.

I tried to fight it but rogaine didn’t seem to help.

Finally I said frickit and bought some quality balding clippers. They cut your hair down almost as close as a razor.

Never looked back.



I'm still in the phase where it grows back quickly just not fully, so I shave my head 2-3 times a week. It sucks. I'd rather it just all fall out if that's where it's going.

I literally spend more time on my non existing hair than when I had a full head of hair.

You can always do scalp micro pigmentation (SMP) as a hedge.

There is a cure, but it makes your wiener quit working.

Don't worry, there's a cure for that, but it makes you bald.

There’s an old Cajun cure for baldness that involves rubbing dog crap on the head to promote hair growth. Benefits outweighed by smelling like dog crap though.

Been losing my shite since I was in my early 20's. The last 8yrs or so, I've just been keeping it close with a 1 guard every week. It's really not that bad. BUT, i'm a good looking guy with a normal shaped head, so it works.

Honestly I'm more surprised that no one has figured out how to regrow teeth vs regrowing hair.

There's gotta be a way to force your body to regrow teeth ala how you grow your adult teeth after your baby teeth fall out.

They can pretty much regrow teeth in a lab setting, wouldn’t be expecting to see dentists support destroying their entire business model anytime soon though.

I'm in my early 50's now. I started "thinning" in my early 20's. Like you, I didn't worry about it.

At the time, I said that the person who invents a cure for baldness will be a multibillionaire. Perhaps, the richest man in the world. Most of the people I knew back then who were going bald would have gone out and gotten second and third jobs to pay for any medication that cured baldness with little or no side effects.

Because of the monetary incentive I thought FOR SURE that some enterprising chemist or M.D. would develop a cure. Thirty years later and there is still no cure.

As I mentioned, I started to thin in my early 20's. My dad was pretty much bald at the time. One of my grandfathers had gone bald and the other had a deep widow's peak and very thin hair overall. Therefore, I didn't think I had a chance.

The good news is that my hair stopped thinning in my mid-20's. I pretty much have the same hairline I had at 25. It's not the THICK mane of hair I had in my teens, but no one would ever think I ever really worried about going bald.

Having said that, I would pay GOOD MONEY to get that thick head of hair that I had in my teens back. The first thing I think of when I see old high school or college pictures is -- GOD I WISH I STILL HAD THAT THICK HEAD OF HAIR!

Not sure when it technically started, but around age 30 I had typical bald spot. I have always kept my hair cut short, so it wasn't a big deal to just go all-over with 1 or 0 guard.

I honestly have never really stressed or thought about it. The lady that cut my hair gave me some stuff to try, but it didn't do anything, and I didn't want to pay for or even use a "system" of shiat. I can't fathom paying a lot of money to address it, or dealing with something you have do forever. Bonus: I haven't paid for a haircut in over a decade.

I just don't think there's a stigma any more with being bald. We can all thank Bruce Willis.

Just gotta remember to wear a hat and use sunscreen!

Being bald ain't so bad. If you're black, you'll look cool as hell. If you're white and built or heavy set, you'll look cool as hell. If you're white and skinny like me, you'll look like you just got released from Auschwitz or Dachau. So if you're skinny and balding, pack on some weight!
