To those who might be concerned:


Besides the two FDA approved drugs (Minoxidil and Propecia). There is one (and only one) device that has been approved by FDA is --laser hair comb.


The laser hair comb basically works similarly as (but much better than )an ordinary comb does, which nourishes the hair follicles by stimulating the scalp and increasing the blood flow.

Of course its way more expensive than just a comb. I think it costs around $150-200. check it out if interested.

Meh. I started thinning as soon as I finished uni... and to be honest, I think girls actually started showing MORE interest after I did (which is not to say that a lot of girls had been showing interest up to that point).

I think sometimes you need a knock to the ego or a reason to sort of stop feeling so pretty in order to start letting your personality shine on through.

I've never been one of those 'I want to be beautiful' people... and I can't imagine anyone finding that sort of vanity thing attractive, but to each their own, I guess.

It didn't even really seem to be an issue with anyone until I came to Korea... where someone feels the need to point it out every single day, and every time I go to get a haircut the barber insists on cutting it in a combover way instead of just cutting it super-short like I want it, and I have to fight and fight and fight in order to not walk out of there looking like a broken, insecure 49 year old.

How to stop the hair growth completely? Is burning the follicles with laser the only way to do it? I'm getting tired of shaving my head all the time. Oh, and shaving beard twice a day to look clean is pretty tiring, too.

Someone should invent a pill that stopped beard from growing. He or she would be the richest person in the world in no time!

Today some of my students called me ugly to my face yet again. This time they said it was because of the wrinkles on my forehead.

I think I can stand it once or twice, but I'm actually approaching my breaking point. I mean, hearing that stuff over and over again leaves a kind of tension that just builds and builds... and it seems that lately I've just been getting it from everyone, constantly, non-stop.

I think I'm developing a complex.

They're also demanding that I shave my beard on a daily basis. Every class, there's always one. It's making me really angry... I mean, I don't go around making demands that anyone else change their appearance, but maybe I should.

One of the girls who called me ugly today has an acne problem that will probably scar her permanently, and the other is overweight and just generally unattractive. I didn't point either of these things out because it just seems nasty and like I'm sinking to their level, but now I'm wondering if I should have.

Seriously, this has to stop... I'm really freaking isolated and lonely and full of despair and misery anyway, and I don't need their crap adding extra anxieties to my already borderline psychotic state. I've tried the whole 'it's really rude to say that' thing... I don't think they don't understand, and to be honest, I don't think they care.

I'm starting to think that the only possible solution is to just say 'sure, I'll shave my beard if you fix your teeth', or 'if you stop wearing those dorky glasses' or 'if you stop doing that weird thing with your eyes' or 'if you lose weight' or 'if you develop a more interesting personality and stop making all those annoying sounds to express excitement', or even 'if you stop being such a @#$^ing idiot and actually try to learn something instead of staring into that gd mirror all the time'.

I HATE Middle School.

Students in middle school have the foulest mouth...

When I was in middle school and high school, all teachers without any exception became our favorite topics, secondary to celebrity news... their hair, their face, their talks, their romantic relationships, marriages...etc etc

You really should not care that much, and neither is it likely you are the only one they make mean comments to.

If the kids are really little, it doesn't bother me too much when they call me demorli 데머리 or 마빠기 - however you spell them. But it does bother me when the kids say that when their parents are right their, and the parents start laughing. I'd like to learn how to say, "Excuse me, but it looks like your little mutt is off its leash." Something like that, anyway.

Sometimes, a young adult will make a comment. It still throws me off and pisses me off to no end.

How long has propecia and rogaine(sp) been on the market now? A couple of decades? Honestly there's no excuse to be bald in this day and age, in fact I'm starting to equate bald men with poor people that couldn't afford the meds to prevent going bald.
