It would be worth it if a hair transplant was a magical one time thing, but it doesn't work like that.

After you get a hair transplant you also have to take finasteride and minoxidil daily for the rest of your life AND you will more than likely need additional hair transplant in the future because fin and min won't be as effective as years go by and the non transplanted part of your hair will still minituarize and fall out.

This is correct. Hairs in the back are not falling out for the majority of people. When hairs are transplanted to the front, they still retain all their properties, i.e., they won't fall out.

theres something extremely offputting about that middle image, how do they actually transplant the hair, are they punching holes in the donors head and 'replanting' them? doesnt that mean the donors gonna have a fucked up head?
assumably there wouldnt be many takers right? or does the donors hair grow back? and its not like you'd want a minoritys hair since it would clash with your own, and if the transplanted hair isnt affected by what makes you bald normally wouldnt there be something to gleam from that that could be applied to natural balders?

Yes, but newsflash you still have hair on top of your head which will continue to recede and miniaturize if you don't take fin and min regularly. A hair transplant only fixes the very front of your head for the most part.

Also another thing no one mentioned ITT is that a hair transplant isn't even 100% sure to work, it always depends on the individual if his scalp will "accept" the transplanted hair and continue growing after the initial shedding stage, which is also why many have to get multiple surgeries.

I take fin and saw good results. I can't use topicals because they irritated my scalp too much. People say that fin has sexual side effects. The journals show that these are entirely psychosomatic--simply telling a person that the sexual side effects were psychological immediately cured them of those side effects. I personally did not experience any negative side effects from taking fin.

I paused for a bit on the off-chance that it would impact my wife getting pregnant (There's nothing in any of the literature that says it would do this, I was just being overly cautious) and the bald spot returned. I'm starting again and already noticing a small difference.

Having said all that, I entirely plan to just go fully bald one day. No point in fighting your genetics and at the end of the day the only people who might give a shit are women, and I'll be fucking dead before I do something simply because a hypothetical woman wanted me to.

Yes, but unless the top of your head is completely bald, you will still have some original hairs left up there. You can't just pluck them and replace them. These original scalp hairs will keep miniaturizing so eventually you will need several more transplants until all the originals are gone, OR rigorously take fin/min and dermaroll daily.

It takes a few years until balding is noticeable. My hair started falling at 19, and it took all the way to 24 until I had visible thinning. So if you don't see any hair falling, don't use fin. You will know when it happens. Just stroking your hair sideways or backwards will be a bit painful and you will end up with some hair in your hand.

My father had Norwood 4a at 30 years old, while my grandfather on my mother's side passed away with Norwood 3. It really depends, but some people lose their hair until a certain age, and if it stops, then you can consider yourself lucky. Also, your picrel is an extreme example and doesn't appear to be a regular male pattern balding; it looks more like a health-related issue.

Rosemary oil appears to counteract DHT binding and the papers on this topic indicate it is exceptionally effective. Ketoconazole, a topical antifungal, also does this. It's nothing to do with fungal infections making your hair fall out, it has well-documented anti-androgenic properties.

Even if you are fucking convinced you will never go bald, I would still use a ketoconazole shampoo at least twice a week, that shit is fuego (and definitely first-line if you're not retarded) for hair loss prevention. Prevention is better than cure; by the time you notice the Norwood reaper looming, you've already lost half your hair, and it is an uphill battle to unfuck your hairline.

By that point it doesn't matter though. Hair transplants are for correcting norwooding in your 20s and 30s when having a full head of hair actually matters for financial reasons and slaying. By the time you're an oldcel and married with a wife and kids, and secure in your finances, businesses and investments then it doesn't matter if your hair falls out (at least from a purely practical point of view). It's totally acceptable to be bald as an oldcel. Look at Joe Rogan, hasn't stopped him from building a successful podcast/show. But balding in your 20s and 30s is a death sentence.

Yes. I got one at 29 at about 5000 grafts, it’s best to get it around that age if you started to bald in your early 20’s because the pattern pretty much reveals itself around 30 and the doctor takes that into consideration. I got the cursed gene from my Dad who has the exact same balding pattern as me, his hair loss stopped in his early 30’s and he has remaining thick hair on sides and back even now in his late 50’s, he never gave a shit about his hair like I did, maybe because he made my mum his wife when he was 20 while he still had hair.

I’m 37 now and my hair still shows no signs of change and I’m not on any medication, I thought deeply about my choice to forego taking medication after considering my fathers matured hairline, but for some others this might not be a good choice considering genetics. At this point I couldn’t care less if I suddenly started balding near my 40s, the money I spend has already paid off by far, but mid 20’s to the just before the time my hair transplant starting blooming when I was 30 was a life of pain considering I have a peanut shaped head.

People treat you differently, especially women, the same thing happened when I lost weight when I was in my early 20’s. The world is a superficial one, adjust to it or just try your hardest not to care.
