How do you cope with it?

I haven't tried Rogaine yet, but is there a more permanent solution other than the doc?

who cares? it's natural. go with what God gave ya. or in this case, is taking away

Rogaine will only protect what you have left.

buy a clipper, use the 3/16" guard.

when I get older.

I don't know if it helps, but I use a leave in conditioner every other day to help out my scalp and make my hair soft.

Ask State409c for advice.

Or one of his new aliases.

Don't ask me for any advice. Unlike the average person, my well being and self esteem isn't tied to the lack of hair on my head.

In fact, I'm pretty sure my ego grew when it was no longer constrained by hair.

Propecia has slowed down my rate of hair loss

8/17/2007 1:52:41 PM

Same, its kinda annoying, but I now I really don't care, buzz my hair short anyways...

8/17/2007 1:53:26 PM

you just need the ultimate combover!

That looks like a different guy. I call bullshit.

8/17/2007 2:03:51 PM

Rogaine will actually probably make you lose more hair at first... then it grows in much finer. Its not the fix that people expect. If you have mild hair loss then you are better off not using Rogaine. Its more effective for the traditional male pattern baldness in full effect.

The only real permanent solution is surgery (hair plugs). Its expensive but sense you are insecure enough to buy overpriced Apple products to enhance your image then its probably right up your alley.

Get over your insecurities. Hair loss happens to pretty much everyone and you only end up looking like a douche when people catch on that you are running from it.

8/17/2007 2:06:12 PM

Yeah I have pattern baldness.

How the hell do you include Apple in this discussion? I like Macs because they make me more productive.

8/17/2007 2:09:47 PM

i may be an asshole

i may have problems dealing with people

i may be lazy

but

I AM TALL

AND... I HAVE A FULL HEAD OF HAIR, AND WILL SO UNTIL THE DAY I DIE

ahh genetics, you are an awesome mistress

8/17/2007 2:10:54 PM

I am slowly losing my hair as well.

8/17/2007 2:43:34 PM

turn that upside down. it's not that big a deal. this is the male equivalent of women getting wrinkles, why stress mang

8/17/2007 2:47:45 PM

It doesn't necessarily bother me, but if I can take a pill once a day with my others to prolong the actual loss, it's worth paying for the prescription.

But once it finally goes I'm not gonna get all down about it.

8/17/2007 3:11:30 PM

work out. fit confident bald guys are attractive; skinny / fat obsessive bald guys aren't.

for me the worst part is going to be the "in between" when it all goes on top, I'll rock the Robert Duvall / Hunter S. Thompson look, but in the middle, it just looks like you're holding on.

we're not talking about total baldness here.

8/17/2007 3:21:46 PM

all in good time..but to be honest, why worry about an aspect of your body you really don't have that much control over. Like someone else mentioned, work out, stay fit, lose a couple lbs, etc.

Does Nioxin work?

8/17/2007 6:59:00 PM

I have been using Nioxin for more than a year now...costs me $50 a month.

It just increases hair density, and the barber finds it hard to run scissors on hair, but does nothing to regrow/stop hair fall.

8/17/2007 7:19:10 PM

You can see my receding hairline when I'm diving (provided I'm not wearing a hood)...

8/17/2007 7:35:21 PM

i'd rather have grays than go bald and i'm going bald

[Edited on August 17, 2007 at 7:42 PM. Reason : ITS NOT THAT NOTICABLE BUT I NOTICE IT!!]

8/17/2007 7:42:31 PM

You need to take that $50 a month and put it towards a personal trainer, I think you'd have better results in the chick department.

Just guessing.

8/17/2007 8:30:25 PM

nice trim, charles!


ba-dum CHING!

8/17/2007 9:06:39 PM

my dad was bald at 23

i'm on my way

8/17/2007 9:11:13 PM

the only thing more pathetic than a balding man

is a balding man who tries to pretend he isn't one
