Oh shit anon. You started receding. This is you in a few years.

I dont get it. Why doest most people just get an hair transplant? Seriously it can cost a lot but surely its worth it no? Why do most people view a receiding hairline as a death sentence?

You do realise that it's not a one time transplant. If your hair keeps receding, you will need every few years go do the transplant to hide the new bald spots.

Also depends the culture. In some countries if they find out you tried to hide it, it's worse than balding.

>> No.13274518

Maybe I'll be lucky, my granddad on my mother's side still wasn't balding in his 70s when he died and my dad is only just now starting to get bad in his 50s

I started receding when I was 17. Before that I had a phobia of sorts and hated getting my hair cut, so having to obey the school "dresscode" was a nightmare. In highschool administration finally stopped giving a fuck and since then I had a ponytail up until I enrolled in a university.
Around that time I was struck with a bad case of teenage apathy which coincided with my hairline crawling way up my skull. I guess the timing was kinda lucky since for me "looking nice" wasn't really on the priority list anymore. Honestly pretty much nothing was. But looking disgusting would make life harder so I still put some effort into looking tolerable. Shaved head looked better than the mess I had before so I stuck with it. Wouldn't say it had a big impact on my quality of life. When I stopped being a reclusive negative asshole - that had an impact on my life. As long as you look ok changes in your appearance usually lead to changes in your life that are also strictly cosmetic. So making a big fuss about this shit is just dumb and pointless imo

>> No.13274718

I don't even care. I just buzz it every now and then and let it happen. Seems like coming to terms with it is better then the expensive attempt to run away from it.

I don't want to keep my hair because it looks good. I'd probably look fine, maybe even better to other people bald. But I love having long hair. It feels right. It looks like me. I've buzzed before and I've never had a more out of body experience.

>> No.13275425

When my hair gets bad enough I'm definitely getting a hair system. If you are careful enough it will look absolutely real and desu the maintenance and cost are worth it. Transplants are out of the question since they involve dick killing pills, and my hair is too thin for a transplant anyway.
I mean look at this shit.

It's not that simple. Some transplants fail, you usually have to use Fin for 12 months+ before a transplant to stop the follicle trauma when replanting that can damage good follicles around the transplant area.

She just keeps bringing it up. I have seen her every single day for the last 50 something days. And keeps saying "Oh wouldn't it be great..."

And she's shit with money. Like beyond shit with money. I have 12k saved, a 10k car paid off, no debt at all, and I'm 21. She has a shit car, literally no money saved, and she's 25. Probably has debt too.

She doesn't know I'm better off than her and she never wants me to pay for her though, so that's cool.

But I don't exactly have girls knocking on my door left and right so I dunno.

You avoid that by getting the hair system way before you are lightbulb mode. Also go heavy on the meds some months before so your actual hair is kind of decent when you bite the bullet, that way the transition won't be as noticeable.

if you go swim in a pool, does that shit come off? also, I presumme you can;t trick your wife with this shit, she has to be in on it, do you think she'll lose respect for you?

piggybacking on>>13275770, what if you decide you don't want to wear that stuff anymore, you are going to go from full head of hair to lightbulb mode. That stuff holds you hostage for life

>> No.13275861

>>13275830
It doesn't come off when you swim, run, sweat, work out and such.
And yes, your wife should know. If she's not cool with it I guess you are fucked.
In case you want to get rid of it you could switch progressively to smaller ones that make the illusion of receding I guess. The realistic systems only last 2-3 months so you'd be changing them frequently anyway, you could "go bald" on a year.
I mean yeah, it's fake and can be messy but if I'm going bald in my early 20s I am 100% doing this shit. Balding in your late 30s is natural and I'd have no problem with it, but being a baby faced pasty bald manlet at 24 is a death sentence.

I think it's still ingrained in a lot of guys minds even to this day that it's something that's inevitable that you should just embrace, I've wondered the same thing too since I started seeing receding on the temples like, I saved mine by catching it early, why don't other guys? That being said there's general stigma against guys being worried about cosmetic issues such as hair but there's also a lot of really bad information out there about different treatments including HT's which probably scares a lot of guys off. We'll probably have a cure in our lifetime anyways so I guess it won't matter for coming generations.
