Thats the problem really. Age doesn't bother me as those around me are ageing too as are the women that I generally find myself interested in.

However with age I am starting to loose my hair. I'm considering going for a Hair Transplant which is fecking expensive but I think I'd be happier. Having a bald head just doesn't suit my face. Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing these issues and how you're dealing with it?

I started goin bald wen i was 17/18. This process was speeded up by gettin my head shaved at partys 3 times within a year.

I was never overly bothered about it cos if its happenin, its happenin.

I tried hangin on to it for a while but i finally thought fuck this shit & shaved it all off. Thankfully i suit it.

I laugh at these "hair transplant" adverts cos if i got it now 10 years later i would look fuckin weird with hair. All my mates laugh at the idea too.

I was regularly buying herbal viagra from one of them chinese acupuncture dudes who one day asked me if id like a bottle of shampoo that will grow my hair back for £8....out of curiosity i asked him how long it would take to grow back, "about 2 weeks & it will start growing again" i was like bollocks man no way.

I never got the shampoo tho cos like i said, i would look weird with hair & wouldnt even want any now cos i look cool.

Many chicks dig the skinhead look tho so there are benefits.

Humans Eh K... When will they learn

check out a shampoo called nizoral (this is my second post today about it)

i feel its helped slow down my hair thining

peace

Thanks for advice guys. I guess at te end I the day I do just have to go with what makes me happy.

I have been on propecia for the last 2 years and fortunately haven't experienced the side affects that others have. However it's seems as though it's effect on slowing hairloss has now come to an end.

Unfortunately for me I don't have a face that suits bald. I'll make a decision by the end of the month and then I'll stick to it.

its all in your head (on your head ha)
no seriously
Shave it.

My hair thinned after heavy drug use, i gradually worked my way down the clippers until now i use a mach 3 and some moisturizer
i noticed some girls i would normally attract with hair were not interested when i was shaved
but then others love a shaved head
swings and roundabouts

shaved head makes you look harder, more alpha
i would also suggest a couple of tattoos and muscles to finish it off!

I have the "Braun Cruzer 4 Body & Face" shaver.

Its a brilliant all in one shaver for ur whole body with different length attachments & u can use it in the shower & stuff (altho i think its pointless that u can use it in the shower cos ur in the shower to wash urself, not to shave)

It shaves my head perfectly it takes 5/10 minutes to do everyday & it saves fucking shitloads of cash on gillette products. It also shaves & trims everywhere else on ur body.

I have 2 of them so i can bring one with me when im staying over somewhere.

Ive even used it to trim a chicks pussy who needed a little bit of tidying up. I talked her into it with the only thought in my head that the buzzing would drive her wild, it did & we had a fucking great shagging session afterwards

U can get it online for £45.

Gonna have to get me one of them

There is (for once) a fairly good explanation of hair loss on wikipedia, but briefly it is caused by a byproduct of testosterone, called DHT. DHT is created in the body when testosterone reacts 5alphaReductase, another bodily chemical. The propacea you are using works by inhibiting the production of 5alphaReductase, therefore reducing the presence of DHT. DHT "attacks" hair folicules, resulting in thinner hairs (colloquially known as peachfuz), which in time fall out and are not replaced with a new follicule. It should be noted however that all people lose about 50-100 hairs daily, and so you need not panic if you notice a lot of hair in the shower, for example.

Consider using monoxidil. unlike propacea (anti 5αR), and nizoral (anti-androgen, testosterone/DHT killer), monoxidil is a growth stimulant which can cause hairs to regrow. It's not as expensive as it used to be either. Nizoral is affordable and works well in conjunction with monoxidil.

From a dietry perspective, remember that most of your hair is protein, and so get plenty of high quality lean proteins in the diet (saturated fats raise testosterone and so don't eat red meat more than a couple of times a week). plenty of chicken, turkey, soy proteins, egg, nuts, seeds and pulses.

Other important nutrients for hair are:

silica: found in potato skin, apple skin, bell peppers, tomato, grapes.

Zinc: found in turkey, beef, walnuts, pistachios, green and black tea.

Iron: Found in red meats (but as mentioned above, don't overdo it) such as beef, horsemeat (if you'll eat it), also liver, lentils, some other pulses and some nuts.

Consider taking a multivitamin also (not instead of) the above. Do not take a multivitamin with tea or coffee, have it with lunch instead of breakfast if necessary.

Liquorice, peppermint tea, chammomile and saw palmetto have all demonstrated 5αR lowering properties. Infact, saw palmetto is used by some as a natural alternative to propacea. If you are ussng, or considering using propacea, consider saw palmetto as an alternative. Try to get a fix of many as the above (in their purest state, pure liquorice candies will have some effect, liquorice allsorts, which contain less than 10% liquorice, which will do nothing).

Black tea has been shown to reduce dht (most of the good press goes to green tea). However, if you are american, powdered tea/bottled ice tea/cheap shit tea does not count. Buy good quality English blended, or Indian/Asian black teas. If you are British/Australian, remember that the addition of milk significantly reduces the effect. If you can't drink it black, go for a strong brew with less milk.
Curiously, green tea actually seems to slightly increase dht (it is not clearly understood how, nor how black tea lowers it). However, given the enormous health benefits of green tea that are much less in black tea (more antioxidants and cancer killers than a whole broccoli and two carrots in one cup, reduce cholesterol, fat burning if drunk before exercise, anti ageing, anti hair greying/whitening etc), i would still suggest a cup or two of green tea a day also.

I'm fucking 21 with a receding hair line that George Costanza would be jealous of be lucky you were 31 before it started.

Although it doesn't bother me one bit.
