what does /b/ do about balding?
how does /b/ feel about it?

saying "i dont care" just Shows ur insecure

be honest anon
>>
>>736837585
the guys who can't grow facial hair will have the last laugh! fuck you, baldies!
>>
>>736837585
>what does /b/ do about balding?

ride it out. fighting it is stupid. the pills fuck your shit up and the Rogaine only works on thinning hair and stops working as soon as you stop using it. just go with it.

>how does /b/ feel about it?
it sucks. my confidence is less than zero but hey, fuck it. that's why they make liquor.
>>
>>736837585
I know a guy that's balding and I'm sure it bothers him because he's a cunt, and because he's a cunt I love that he's balding. Otherwise, I couldn't care less.
>>
Shave your head faggot
>>
>>736837697
oh does it?
does it grow thinning hair back into thick Long ?
>>
>>736838609
thicker. not necessarily thick.
the point is that rogaine won't grow hair on a bald head. there has to still be some hair left for it to work.
>>
>>736838787
yea i got some really thin hair on my hairline,like REALLY thin and short , u can see them when ur rlly Close
does rogaine do anything about that?
>>
>>736837585
this niggas hairline almost touches his eyebrow lol,
hes blessed
>>
>>736838871
yeah it would definitely help, but the day you stop using it you'll start reverting back to the natural state. I contemplated the fuck out of using rogaine but I didn't want to be on it for 50 years or whatever.
>>
lol you ppl are inferior. No guy in my family is bald nor has grey hairs. My mom is like 60 (had me when she was 40, yeah late I know) has blonde hair as a child, turns brown when she got older had breast cancer her hair fell out now her hair is dark dark brown and has no grey hairs. Dad has no grey hairs either. U guys have weak genes

save a few grand and get a transplant

>>736837585
I started balding at age 18; noticed the effects at age 20

>Fuck this I'm not looking like I'm 40 when I'm 22

Did a shitload of research. Here's what went down.

1 - I started taking finasteride at 1mg per day. Get the Dr to prescribe you 5mg finasteride and then cut the pills; this will be easily more than 10x cheaper.

2 - If you can afford it, also take 5mg of dutasteride per day. While not public knowledge, I've read studies that show that dutasteride is even more effective at lowering DHT than finasteride.

3 - I found the cheapest good hair transplant surgeon in the USA and went there. I spent about 3k in total and got a transplant to replace the hair I'd already lost.


Fast forward to age 31 and I have a full head of hair that's here to stay. No more issues/insecurities of balding.
>>
>>736839819
UK it's 2k. if you're just starting to thin out in certain areas or have fine long hair . it's worth the investment. better than a shitload of chemicals having babies on your scalp
>>
Rub butter into your hair. It should work sometimes
>>
>>736839008
>U guys have weak genes

That's not how it works man. If anything, balding indicates an abundance of testosterone. There is nothing genetically inferior about excess DHT.

>>736839218
Read my comment above. Get finasteride tomorrow, and take it every day. Whisper a quiet "thank you" into your ethernet cable 10 years down the road when you still have a full head of hair.

>>736837697
>the pills fuck your shit up

The pills are fine. An extremely small number of people experience negative side effects.

>Rogaine only works on thinning hair

All MPB is due to thinning hair, and rogaine works on all stages of MPB. The cons are that rogaine is expensive, smells like shit, and DOES NOT WORK ON FRONTAL BALDING.

>>736838609

Rogaine works by lowering the amount of DHT in the follicles, but trust me, go with the pills instead.

>>736838871

No it will not. Rogaine does nothing to the hair line. Most people are not aware of this, and I've even had doctors tell me it worked on all hair, but even Rogaine's website claims that it does nothing for the hairline (only the crown). Take the pills man.

>>736840035

It's 2k because you're looking at the cost of Propecia. Get a prescription for the 5mg generic pills that are designed for prostate health and chop them up. Your insurance should even cover them. It's insanely cheap this way and is the exact same shit.

I noticed my hair was falling out around the age of 15.

Had noticeably thinner hair by 17.

I'm 23 now and this is all that's left.

After reading this thread I suppose I'll go find some finasteride tomorrow and see where that takes me.

>>
>>736837585
i truly don't care. i had ass length hair in highschool and after for awhile, then a mohawk(i know) and when i starter balding from my crown i just shaved it. i'm also in ems/fire and it's just easier. some ladies like some hair to pull but most don't give a shit if you're a good guy. also grow some facial hair, they like it even if they say they don't
>>
im 28, starting to go bald but im just gonna accept it. have a decent job and my gf doesn't give a shit so who cares

maybe i'll get a buzz cut and have permastubble for the macho man look

pills don't seem to be worth the hassle
>>
>>736841017
You need finasteride and also a couple transpants. It'll take a while, but full hair is achievable if you want it enough. Use the regular strip method, not plugs or FUE.

>>736841182
Don't take the full 5mg fin unless you're concerned about your prostate man; 1mg is all that's needed for the anti-dht effect. If you're still losing hair, add in 5mg dutasteride (brand name avodart)

>>736841548
It would work, but it would be the exact same and cost more. Just get the 5mg prostate health finasterides and cut them up. I've been doing this for years and I spend like 5$/month
>>
just look at all the athletes and celebrities who could have hair if they wanted. then look at the ones who have done things to get it back, you can easily tell and feel sorry for them.

You said dutasteride blocks more DHT.

Isnt that what 5mg of Finasteride does already?

your here for a reason,
what OP says applies 100% to you

"i dont care" fake ass
>>
>>736842032
You're asking the right kinds of questions.

1mg of finasteride blocks a good portion of one type of DHT; taking more than 1mg doesn't have any further effect in this matter.

Dutasteride hasn't been studied as publicly, but I've read studies that show it actually blocks more DHT than finasteride, and blocks both types (not just one).

>>736837585
>saying "i dont care" just Shows ur insecure

Technically it's the insecure guys that take pills and rub creams all over their head to try and fight off the inevitable. A man that is secure and confident knows that a full head of hair isn't really all that important.
>>
>>736837585
i dont care
>>
>>736842247

Does Dutasteride has to be prescriped?
>>
>>736842269
I'm pretty sure Travolta went with plugs. Those things were old/cheap tech, and look pretty shitty.

This is exacerbated by failing to take finasteride, which allows the normal hair around the plugs to fall away and leaves you looking like an old doll at a garage sale.


>>736842491
Yeah, both finasteride and dutasteride require prescriptions. They're easy as hell to get though. If you have a healthy liver and kidneys, you should have no problem taking both indefinitely (or until they refine a cure for MPB altogether - probably about 10 years from now or less).
>>
>>736842375

>Technically it's the insecure guys that take pills and rub creams all over their head

being open on a Topic and trying to Change it is everything but an insecurity u dumb shit .

it's not inevitable Retard. Do your 5 secs of Research before spreading nonsense-

>A man that is secure and confident knows that a full head of hair isn't really all that important

A man whos insecure wears a hat everytime he leaves the house to hide his receding shit, and tells People hes happy about being bald and doesnt want any hair anyway.

>>
>>736842904
Honestly, if you look good bald then go for it. I'd do the same thing if my head/face shape was decent when bald (it really isn't lol). Hell, you can even have micro-tattooing done to make it look like there's stubble all over your head (giving the impression that you're bald purely by choice).

>>736842955
Those will work, but if you really want to save money, go for proscar or generic proscar. Those come in 5mg pills that you can cut into quarters. This will make your hair retention practically free.

I'm fairly ok with balding. I've shaved my head a couple of times so i know i look good anyway.

I'm in the middle on this one. It's totally cool if someone is fine with balding.

On the other hand, it's 100% preventable; if you don't want to be bald, you don't have to be.

A little bit of technology, common sense, courage, planning, and research goes a hell of a long way. I went back to a full head of hair and lengthened my legs by 3 inches. Fuck the natural order of things.

Yeah it was pretty brutal. I'd pull the bones apart over a period of 4 months in India.

I got my 3 inches though, and now I can confidently say I can endure just about any amount of pain.

The bones are real though, and all filled in and solid. It's been like 5 years since then and things have been pretty damn awesome.

>painful stuff ive heard. only thought asian girls that wanted to be models did those

Oh man, that China facility that most of them go to is brutal. They use shitty equipment AND THEY MAKE THEIR OWN IM RODS. Fucking scary lol


>>736845388
If I listened to everybody on the internet that said I had issues, I'd be 5'8", wouldn't be married to a doctor, wouldn't own 3 houses, and would probably be a miserable loser. Also, the 3 inches does make women pork guys. There are studies, lots of studies.

You can say I have issues, but I'm sure as fuck not uninformed.

Bones increase density and width to accommodate load, and 3 inches is the magic number for what gets parsed as normal variance in the mind's perception of the human body.

Nobody knows why it doesn't work on the forehead yet. I researched the fuck out of it back in the day though, and the conclusion was a solid "no". It's harsh because you'll have mixed testimonials online, but trust me it's a no-go. It sucks ass, but the pills are easier anyway.

>>736846831
It doesn't work like that man; there's no stitching of any sort. All bone grows in the same way.

On a different note, the pain you were experiencing was likely due to soft tissue stretching. That's the main source of pain when lengthening too. Holy shit that was harsh.

feels bad man

Try shaving your head completely, definitely increased my confidence when it started to happen
>>
>>736847146
also, i was 6'6 in 6th grade so don't hold out on growing too much more but my friend grew in highschool so it can happen later. and being this tall is more inconvenient than anything. i drove his porsche before but was happy to go back to my truck.

>>736837697
i guarantee if you go out to a bar or something and a girl asks why you don't have hair if you just fess up and say you're going bald and fuck it they will be way more turned on by you than wearing a hat and seeing your weird shedding thinning hair later.

i'm with the other dude, i don't care because i'm who i am, some of us like giving advice and could care less about everyone else, live the way you want to. critical thinking skills have fallen off after and even before my generation me thinks.(i've had a few drinks, just saying)

>>736837585

Shaving my head every other day is a huge pain in the ass but it looks better than a partially balding melon. I think I look good.
>>
>>736848330
bald bros unite!
>>
>>736837585
Shave it the rest of the way. It's annoying to be stuck with one hairstyle for the rest of my life, but I'm not worried about greying and I look better with a shaved head than most other haircuts.
>>
>>736848025
The hair on the crown: regrow with finasteride/dutasteride (DHT blockers) + Minoxidil (arteriodilator)

The hair at the front (hairline): Transplant this back in (FUT or FUE).

Residual thinning: Scalp Micropigmentation + additional density transplants

People aren't ugly, they're just poor.
>>
>>736848451
you think one hairstyle sucks, wait until you get grey hairs in your beard at 28, it sucks but that's what happens. deal with it and live life, all i can say.
>>
>>736848393
Hell yeah fuck em right! I grow a beard and I look badass, nobody fucks with me. Chicks hate beards though. Most of em anyway.
>>
>>736848512
Oh also anti-inflammatory shampoo (Nizoral 2% ideally) three times a week.
>>
>>736848025
Oh it can grow back, but you need the pills to reduce the amount of DHT being pumped to the follicles.

The minoxidil also lowers or neutralizes the DHT through the skin, but for some reason it's only effective on the crown.

This may seem bizarre, but remember that the hair on the back and sides of your head is immune to DHT for some reason, so not all hair is equal on a single head.

>>736848096
Yeah and we're going to see some crazy shit soon with medical tech reaching critical mass. Precancer detection via blood test is available now, and HepC cured via pill. Crazy shit.

>>736848142
Or maybe I care so deeply because I'm attracted to you? Did you think about that, you selfish asshole? Maybe I have feelings for you and you're hurting me deeply.

>>736848330
Yeah man, either shave it or go full hair-retention mode. I think the only failure is staying in between.

>>736848512
This guy knows his shit. I'd have to say that I wouldn't recommend FUE with lots of loss though, because the take rate is lower and doner hair is precious.
>>
>>736848512
this is part of the problem, i'm not poor but i'm practical, every bald man i've talked to has had some kind of shit done and has a scar on the back of their head or lost all their hair anyway. those commercials and anyone else just want you to take pills and hope. i'd rather shave it and not have to worry about it personally. but if you care enough spend hundreds to save something nobody cares about. your wife will probably leave you for a bald bodybuilder anyway.
>>
>>736848314
Since when is bragging about superficial shit and marginal improvements giving advice?
>>
>>736848314
>my generation me thinks.(i've had a few drinks, just saying)
that's probably why you can't see what an insecure faggot that other dude is. Do you really believe it's psychologically (not medically, I won't argue there) healthy to undergo a major, intensive surgery just to gain a few inches and feel better about yourself?
It's no different than faggots like that who are fucked up in the head and addicted to cosmetic surgery. It used to be a catalogued psychiatric condition before politically correct culture had it removed from the dsm IV.
>>
>>736848792
my bro actually had hep c, cured itself. craziest shit i've heard of but they were gonna charge him like 12k a pill to cure it. welcome to the future.
>>736848598
girls say they hate facial hair, even my wife because her dad had a mustache and it felt weird but once she saw me she was more than fine with it. be manly, they love it.
>>
>>736837585
I'd just shave it all off really, start wearing hats and shit
>>
>>736848962
i won't dispute that it's mentally unhealthy, but if it's what the dude wants to do then go for it. if i wanted to fuck a clown i'd do it. it's whatever personally.
>>736848806
and it's not bragging, it's showing examples and waiting to give advice, you'd learn this if you weren't a normal human being with normal shit to do. trust me.

What do you do, since you're that not normal? Except fucking your body up för marginal improvements.
>>
>>736848798
Heh

You brush your teeth every day right? People like white, straight teeth. It's not unreasonable to want to look good.

Finasteride wasn't developed for hair loss it was developed for benign prostatic hypertension, they just noticed it helped hair grow too.

Spoiler alert: most dudes with nice hair take finasteride and some have had a transplant, you just don't notice because they spent the required 12K to get enough hairs and didn't drive to mexico to have 500 hairs put in for 1K.
>>
>>736849359
i'm not that guy, just defending his ability to make a decision he wanted to pay for, but since you ask i'm a giant compared to most people in a profession that most associate with stress and honor. i've been abnormal my entire life, it gives you a certain perspective even if you don't realize it.
>>
>>736849125
>it's showing examples and waiting to give advice

So... Shilling? Or bragging / wanting people to boost your self esteem?
>>
>>736848554
It doesn't really suck to be bald. As I said, at worst it's an annoyance. Mostly because you have to wear hats to protect your head from the sun or the cold. I'm so used to it by now I never think about it unless I see things like this thread.

Anyway, a beard it easy to dye if you're worried about greying.
>>
>>736849522
so if i sit in a drug thread and tell people what to do and how much i'm shilling or bragging? fuck yourself. i'm not even the leg lengthening dude, i'm just here to help. you obviously don't need it so fuck off.
>>
>>736849507
So you're saying your profession is all you care about excelling in? Way to go, you're gonna die a miserable ass.
>>
>>736848806
Dunno man, if you think that early retirement, a successful marriage, and bending your body to your will is superficial, I guess we're just in different worlds.

>>736848962
I could write a book about how gaining inches for a man is not only healthy but logical, but only one of my points needs to be summarized:
>Height has a direct correlation to income for males

>>736848982
That's pretty lucky. I was diagnosed with HepC antibodies in what I later found was a botched lab test. Pretty scary stuff.

>>736849359
The problem here is that you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about lol. Fucking up your body? How is lengthening fucking up your body?

Also, 3 inches is a "marginal improvement"? Have you read any height studies ever?

>>736849456
I look at the prostate health a side benefit. Probably a good thing too, since my Grandpa got the big C.

>>736849522
The point is that you can have nearly anything you want if you work hard enough and ignore the morons saying it's impossible. Rational people will see that and hopefully be inspired by it.
>>
>>736849456
How do you find a good doctor to do it? I've seen results from the "robotic" procedure, and they're awful. That technology is not ready for prime time yet.
>>
>>736849699
you're an idiot, and should shut up. come back when you can talk like an adult.
>>736849611
it doesn't suck to be bald at all, i love it in fact. nobody gives a shit and if they do they are dumb teenage hoes in my experience.
>>
>>736849456
>most dudes with nice hair take finasteride and some have had a transplant

Got a source for that? I'd guess that maybe 1-2% of men with full heads of hair need drugs to keep them.
>>
>>736849791
Well, my genes got me 6'4" naturally, so I haven't really had to care.
>>
>>736849865
So you say calling people idiots is a mature way of arguing?
You're just protecting your fragile ego.
>>
>>736849689
If someone feels that they are balding it will take them 2 seconds to Google it. There are even forums dedicated to help and give advice to people to those who are seeking it.

So again, I'm not attacking you, but why was this thread posted? My best guess so far is either the drug industry wants people to buy their shit, or more likely op is lonely / insecure and want attention for something he has some experience with.
>>
>>736837585
Eh, it kinda sucks but there's really nothing you can do about it. I used to be stupidly hot when I had a full head of hair. Now it's gotten pretty thin so I keep it buzzed/super short and girls seem to like that too. I just don't get hit on by as many girls as I used to. As a saving grace I've got gorgeous beard hair, which people compliment all the time.
>>
>>736850144
no, you're just an idiot, i'm sorry you feel that you can't defend yourself otherwise. it'll be ok bro.
>>736850147
idk about the thread, i'm not the OP, and i don't care that im going bald, i shave my head like twice a week and otherwise never think about my hair. idk what you're on about bro, im drunk.
>>
>>736850292
Ok sure, you win.
>>
>>736850354
yay, i won something i didn't give a shit about like my flag football trophies...
>>
>>736849856
Honestly, you have to gain access to forums and get involved with people that have gone through it. Googling gets you next to nothing because so many people just don't tell anybody.

The way I did it, and the only way I'd recommend, is this:

-Do lengthening over nail using traditional Ilizarov frames.
-Don't fuck with the pin sites. Don't get them wet, don't clean them (yes that's right, don't clean them at all), and don't touch them.
-Don't stand while lengthening.
-Don't stress about ballerina foot.
-Find a surgeon who understands all these things without being shocked, and has a good track record.

The go-to guy used to be this crazy-good surgeon in Syria, but that option kind of fucked off when the war started.
>>
>>736837585
when/if it happens i will just shave my head clean and grow a nice beard. i wear a hat most of the time anyways so whatever not like it really matters
>>
>>736850525
Shaving the head clean is an important step. Nobody wants to be another Steve Shives.
>>
>>736837852
LOL
>>
>>736850407
Funny, I was talking about hair implants but I've been very curious about this and interested for a few years as well. This is great info. And yeah, think i'mma pass on Syria for a while. Thanks, /b/ro.
>>
>>736849791
Just pointing out that anon's like this seem pretty invested in convincing other anon's that altering yourself is the right thing to do and will somehow make you happier (which is shit, happiness is in your head and a few dollars more won't make you happier, especially if you are constantly looking for superficial flaws like thinning hair or being of average height)

Also, how you can claim that spending four months in a hospital in India is not somehow "fucking" up your body is beyond me.
>>
>>736849125
I don't think some cosmetic surgery is bad. I mean if someone wants a nose job cause they have good but ill proportioned facial features and think it would transform them their confidence and make them more attractive then who are we to judge. not sure why everyone is so eager to shit on people who weren't born attractive and work to change that.

of course don't go fully overboard like those weird dudes that try and be Ken dolls.
>>
>>736850686
i think any cosmetic surgery is bad, but i'm not one to get it, and i look at the Bogdanov bros, that's some alien shit there. if i look better than the richest dudes in the world im doing good.
>>
>>736850685
why not be nice? if he doesn't feel like he fucked up his body, then he didn't fuck up his body. he's the best judge, no?
>>
>>736850952
And you would be ok with someone pushing drugs (like the kind that make you feel good) on other people as long as they feel that it improves their life and doesn't fuck them up?
>>
>>736850685
i'm 6'8 and have a good career with a mental problem of my own, if i could fix my brain i would but that's not on the plate so fuck it. if i could fix my brain to be normal i would. life is a bunch of bullshit and then you die, rappers had it right all along.
>>
>>736851113
Note that the kind of drugs that make you feel good can also result in an increase in pussy and income.
>>
>>736850147
Op may be lonely and insecure, but I wager he is infinitely more fulfilled and confident than mr skeletal here

Kinda just proving my point for me now.
>>
>>736850680
Oh sorry, for implants it's a lot easier. The key is to look for an established specialist, and compare price per implant. The price varies wildly, and doesn't seem to correlate with the quality. I found a place in Florida and have been happy with the results.

I went to Sarin in India. He's VERY much a "do it yourself" doctor though, so after the surgeries you're on your own.

>>736850685
>constantly looking for superficial flaws
Two flaws, solved many years ago. It's been smooth sailing for more than five years and I haven't questioned my body since.

>Also, how you can claim that spending four months in a hospital in India is not somehow "fucking" up your body is beyond me.
You don't lengthen in the hospital unless you're a little bitch. You get the surgery and fucking do it yourself in an apartment somewhere. No opiates after the surgery, and no "fucking up your body" to be found. Learn to biology.

>>736850934
The difference is how it's approached. Some people have an empty spot and fill it with stupid shit; this can be multiple surgeries, cars, or other bullshit. If the surgeries don't continue/escalate, then they were probably done for the right reasons.

>>736851113
Yes. For example, I take diphenhydramine every night to sleep. It's one of the only non-addictive sleep meds, and it's fucking empowering to never have to deal with insomnia.

>>736851279
I'd be fine if he was. Life changes a lot when you focus on building and not tearing down.
>>
I keep it buzzed really short, the same length as my beard. I haven't paid for a haircut in 8 years. I'm in pretty good shape and people always ask if I'm in the military.
>>
>>736851424
ok dude, come to my house and say that shit and i'll smoke a stogie with you. truly dont give a fuck.
>>
>>736851569
i've been asked this many times when i had shorter beard hair, just say nah and continue on.
>>
Honestly if you care that much about it you're too much of a pussy to look good anyways.
>>
>>736851616
>stogie
Thanks, but I'd rather just have a spliff with some decent company.
>>
>>736851556
If you really were healthy you wouldn't need drugs to go to sleep.
>>
>>736837585
The first thing is to stop putting shit in your hair. All those gels and pommades are not good for you. Find a healthy product to style with.

Using fine-tooth combs on unfine hair will pull roots and damage follicles. The coarser the hair, the coarser the brush.

Use shampoo every other day, but always scratch down on your scalp under water.

Also, have my genetics. Some of you dudes are fucked either way.
>>
>>736851556
the key is doing it once and getting it right. improving your teeth skin nose and hair will take you a long way along with regular exercise. thing is it's achievable even for the average person. it's not easy but it's achievable. you just gotta know what you want and how to fit it in with your life ambitions.
