Gleb Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Honestly, I like my hair, but if/when I go bald I'd just shave. I'm young and have a number of friends who shave their heads. Not because they're going bald, but because it looks good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MusoInOz Posted June 12, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi mate! Indeed it is troubling when hair begins to fall out and change your overall appearance. Just remember you are not alone in the battle. Have you tried consulting with your local GP in regards to using medications suck as proscar/propecia? Looking into Minox would also be a great step. Posting some pictures of your current situation would greatly assist others in making judgement to where you are at. Depending on your ages and level of loss you may be a candidate for Hair Restoration however going the medication route for at least twelve months is usually mandatory. If I can be of any other assistance let me know mate. Cheers, "The road to success is always under construction" :cool: I represent Dr Rahal and the associated clinic as a paid patient advisor.

Senior Member Spanker Posted June 13, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted June 13, 2011 Well, my first thought is that everyone that is good looking and gets old enough will have to say I used to be good looking (with very very few exceptions). Second, you do not have NEAR enough info if you are seriously asking for help. Important info is how old are you, what is your level of loss, posting pics will help people give good advice, are you on meds, what type of loss do you have? Anyway, these questions and maybe more need to be answered before giving you and real or helpful advice.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted June 14, 2011 Moderators Share Posted June 14, 2011 Well, my first thought is that everyone that is good looking and gets old enough will have to say I used to be good looking (with very very few exceptions). Sure, but when you're already saying "I used to be good looking" at 20 years old it's a lot different than saying it at 50.

Senior Member bonkerstonker Posted June 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2011 I know the feeling I used to have the confidence and the swagger of a t bird but when I lost my hair at 20 it damaged me mentally and physically but I still pulled any girl I ever wanted thanks to propecia and minoxidil, I grew enough back to feel ok but I never returned to supreme confidence. The key is to keep fighting and never surrender to shaving if it makes u feel much better with hair. Some people like me don't look good bald but am god dam tidy with hair lmao :cool: Bonkerstonker! http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1977 Update I'm now on 12200 Grafts, hair loss has been a thing of my past for years. Also I don't use minoxidil anymore I lost no hair coming off it. Reduced propecia to 1mg every other day. My surgeons were Dr Hasson x 4, Dr Wong x 2 Norton x1 I started losing my hair at 19 in 1999 I started using propecia and minoxidil in 2000 Had 7 hair transplants over 12200 grafts by way of strip but 700 were Fue From Norton in uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
