Dude,stay off the drugs,plugs and rugs.They are all bad news!
Accept your destiny,shave your head and move on with your life and more important issues.
Propecia and minoxidal lower your sex drive and are potentially dangerous long term.I'd prefer to be a man and have my libido rather than be a virtual eunuch with beautiful hair.
Hair transplants are painful,expensive and will leave a nasty scar in your "donor area" which will become very prominent if you continue losing hair and decide to shave your head or go completely bald in the future.
Hair ain't nothing in the end.Sounds like you need a good ego boost. Try this amazing site www.slybaldguys.com and welcome to the beautiful, bald brotherhood.We are here for you dude!
I started going bald at 21 and now at 36 I shave my head down to the scalp 3 or 4 times a week.I love the look and the ladies love it too.I have a beautiful gf who loves me for me and who loves my look also.When I actually had a full head of hair, I couldn't get a date.
It's all about confidence and being sure of yourself and who you are.Women love that!!
Go sly my friend and embrace your future.You owe it to yourself!
Good luck! |
I've been on propecia/minox for 6 years and I have had zero side-effects. I assure you my libido is the same as always. The side-effects you are describing are rare, and usually subside with continued treatment. Wanting to keep your hair does not equate to low self-esteem either. As with most things in life, you do not have to "accept your destiny" and be a bald man for eternity. The surgery is a lot cheaper if you go to Thailand, etc. With decent donor density you should have enough to cover your entire head in the future, given that your doctor is not overly agressive, which a good doctor will not be. |
Seconded. I'd rather not be bald at the ripe old age of 24. This is like someone saying I shouldn't have taken accutane either, instead accepting my fate. |
I took accutane as well. It was extremely effective, but damn my skin was dry. |

| I'll go one step more.....if a guy who has hair loss is worried about what women will think or women won't date him because of hair loss of being bald....all I can say is, she can't be much of a catch if she is that vain or concerned about a man being bald! Besides...plenty of mature women out their could care less about hair...they are more concerned about other things a guy has to offer.... |
I think most guys want a degree of vanity in their partners. |

I know we have all seen plenty of hairless guys throughout our travels with great looking women.
And we have seen plenty of guys with hair without a woman.
I don't think vanity has anything to do with it....it's about having personality, making her laugh, her feeling comfortable, etc..
Sure, when one is young, they want that hair no doubt...they are insecure. Which is why many have implants and try many hair growth products and some even do the ugly "comb over!"
Hair or no hair, don't matter...someone for everyone!
And again, many hair guys who are out clubbing, drinking and hunting, etc...go home alone at the end of the night! |

I guess it all comes down to personal choice.Shaved heads are in fashion though I can tell you that. I dated a girl about 10 years ago who originally wasn't too keen on my shaved head but after a few weeks, she told me how much she was "digging" the shaved look and how much she loved my velcro dome. I actually converted her to the bald side and it felt good.
Lots of dudes with hair are actually shaving it off anyway.They are members of the BBC (Bald By Choice) community
The advantages of shaving your head far outweigh having a full head of hair.
They are as follows:
1)No more bed head
2)No more hat hair
3)Low/no maintenance
4)Saving money on hair care products
5)You'll look badass if you have a shaved head and are in shape
6)You'll look like you are from the future,especially if you wear black
7)Chicks will all clamour to "rub your dome"......they'll never ask a full head of hair guy that they don't know well if they can run their fingers through his hair
8)Hats fit and look better on a shaved dome.
9)No more dandruff
10)No more hairdryers.A quick towel wipe and you're good to go.This is actually better for the environment
11)Your partner won't have to worry about your hair looking better than her hair
Think about it dudes! You can't mess with genetics or with mother nature.Baldness is not a disease that needs to be "treated".It just means you are a man as the majority of men will attain some degree of baldness at some point in their lives.
Be proud!  ...(bald avatar with sunglasses) |

Many thanks for the replies (well most of them). It's been inspiring, and increased my confidence. I've now seen it in a different light. It's no longer a problem.
I think I'll try the ginger method first. I'll get some of the liquidized stuff from the supermarket (I hope I don't get garlic mistake!  )
Oh, and I have to buy a comb. I don't think I've used a comb for over 10 years!
I'll give that a couple of months and then try the various drugs and shampoo.
Failing that, I'll cut my hair short (and buy a hat).
Actually, I used some 'rinse' for the first time for ages and found it 'thickened' my hair a little, kinda hid the thinning. Maybe I've been using the wrong shampoo? |

Would you date a woman who was balding? |

I almost forgot nizoral shampoo. You can get it at any drug store. Use it every 3 days or so.
Nizoral shampoo, propecia, and rogaine is the killer trio which can truly help you keep those follicles on your head and not in the sink. Putting ginger on your head is not going to inhibit the DHT from killing your hair. I'd get a prescription for proscar (generic propecia) asap. Ask for proscar, which is in 5mb tablets (propecia is 1mg), and then get a pill splicer and cut them in quarters. It'll end up being like 15,000/month. I got an Rx from an international clinic in Itaewon.
Word of warning: You may have initial shedding on rogaine, but don't worry, as that means that it is working!!! So, don't give up. It takes months to see a difference, and in some men there is no regrowth, but you will certainly save the hair you already have, which is good enough.
Seriously, look into dermmatch also. It's painless, undetectalbe, and extremely effective.
Good Luck! |

What about hair replacement? It seems to have come a long way. I don't know of anyone who has done it yet, but these guys seem happy enough:

One of the reasons traditional/herbal medicines are overlooked thus rarely known by the vast majority is because of its low/no profits leading to a less market interest (we are way more influenced by commecials than world-of-mouth these days)
I bet no single pharmaceutical company would invest money to do research on a herb that grows everywhere in the world, and from which the company very unlikely will get any patent...
Merck made 1-2 billion dollars from Propecia each year, how much would it make if it studied ginger?
Would a popular home remedy that has been practised for hundreds of years a myth? it could be, but unlikely. Thus unless someone give me solid data, I wont say ginger is less effective than Propecia in preventing early stage hair loss. |

All I got to say is this....I see many bald/no hair/bald headed guys in China! Japan, korea, etc....if ginger worked.....even the old remendies......why don't they try it? |

I didn't bother quoting your whole post but rest assured that everything you wrote is utter rubbish.
Trust me, if there was a miracle cure for baldness it would not be overlooked. Please try using logic and reason when thinking, and especially before posting. |
