I have begun to LOSE hair rapidly again. My hair-line is now completely fucked and my hair is just generally thinning rapidly. I am going to shave my head down bald after christmas day. I can't take the stress anymore and the feelings I have. It sucks, i hate being 20 and losing my hair. It has nothing to do with looking old, ill just shave it and look my age, its just.. im not ready to lose it. It's just terrible, i have dated 2 girls who are now dating professional athletes and I feel like im not gonna be the same person to them or myself. im fine with shaving my head, idk. my life is a trainwreck. i guess im a really shitty person to think how I think, I just think girls won't even take me seriously with my head bald at 20..... and I'm talking to such a pretty girl right now and it sucks I hate the fact that when I shave my head she might stop thinking of me as she did before. The thing that hurts me the most is that when I look at my life, if I had my hair back I would be so fucking happy with everything in it and immediately go back to normal. I am so severely messed up by this it takes a toll on everything related to me.

Jupiter,
what happened man?
it just stopped working for you all of a sudden?
in the pictures you had some nice improvements!

if you don't mind will you let us know how the journey ended and what led up to it.


did you change something in your regular routine??? parhaps a diet change??? addition of new medications? something drastic must have happened to you for the meds to become useless in your hairloss fight. i mean it's not like you have been on them for 10 years.

i am on the meds (big 3) for almost a year now and i'm still holding everything i gained (knock on wood). i quit smoking though maybe that helped me a little? i did have 2 big sheds while on the meds, but it all eventualy came back.

please your thought.....

Yes dude, please tell us the reason for this shift?! Also, hair loss sucks, but you don't seem to be doing bad at all according to your pictures.


best of luck and again please let us know...

I am completely confused! This is the first time I have seen this thread so perhaps I have missed something obvious but could someone please explain to me why Jupiter's hair turned grey!? Nobody seems to have mentioned it but it looks like although he has more hair it has aged like 50 years!!??

Jupiter, I noticed you mentioned you smoke pot. That will exacerbate your hair loss!!

propecia is crap.. its all marketting for desperate people(easiest people to make money from). i used it for years with no improvement...

my best results came from biotin + exercise and QUIT SMOKING
as much as that sucks...it works

look at your tounge..is it pink or do you have a layer or white foamish saliva on top? if its not pink you dont have good blood circulation and biotin + jogging will help

its not like your will get a full head of hair back but you should see good results

whats more important? slow form of suicide with couple minutes of instant satisfaction(smoking)?? or your hair!!!
