luckily there are things nowadays that are pretty good against male pattern baldness, since its pretty unavoidable for most people

if you go to a good salon to get your haircut they're pretty good about pointing it out before it's even signficant

>>12017882
both my dad and moms dad are not bald. My brother is completely bald almost at age 26 soooo this isnt true.

>>12017941
how does that disprove what OP said? that just means there are even more things that cause baldness, not that the ones he listed aren't accurate.

see here
>>12017937

>>12017944
it doesnt technically but it shows you that looking at your families genetics doesnt mean shit. My brothers bald and literally noone else in my family is

Not true, I've heard stories of people which no hair loss in their families whatsosever going bald and vice versa. Genetics are a bitch and random.

>>12017954
again the fact that there are other causes does not disprove that male pattern baldness is carried primarily on the X chromosome (moms)

>>12017961
>primarily

Do you have a percentage though? Seems like nobody can substantiate this claim with numbers

people who are not balding are literally covering their heads from being exposed, not that they are naturally good looking, they need the hair to hide what is behind it lol

Shit I read your post wrong

Why do people pride themselves upon having a full head of hair in twenties when it should pretty much be the way it is supposed to be? My alcoholic uncle that has smoked all life and hasn't lived healthy at all still has a full head of hair in his late 40's, while I see people as young as 18 losing their hair lmao.

Just lol @ your life.

i'm 21, what are my chances?

>>12019626
your little uncle would be a little bitch if he starting balding in his twenties, he would be moping around so sad he can't hide his forehead with hair

Baldness only matters if you're fat, ugly, poorly hung, and brokeass.


If you're bald, but fit, average or above, hung and are at least "blue collar" status, no woman worth fucking is going to care.

I thought this was a myth. All the men on my mom's side are bald including her father, but my hair is very similar to my grandfather on my dad's side who has a full head of hair. I've got cousins reaching 30 on mom's side and no baldness.

Wish I inherited their height and mass, but dad is a fucking dyel manlet.

Genetics is what gives the follicles on your scalp the sensitivity to DHT(basically an ultra form of testosterone) . If they are sensitive to DHT, you'll go bald eventually. But you can also do things to reduce DHT in your body. Orgasm releases a large amount of DHT, so if you masturbate a lot, cut down on that. There's also drugs that can reduce DHT, but can have side effects that make you more feminine.

Can you read?

The average strip method is a couple of grand yeah but there's a chance for scaring and if you're lucky yeah it'll look good. You still have to maintain it and there's a chance you'll have to go back multiple times before it's right.

Obviously if you've got infinite funds and time to take for it then it can look good. Also Lebrons hair is still fucked up, you can see it in games and he still has that hair band creep up his head.

Agreed. People seem to think when you get older you suddenly have no life and don't care about looking good. People live to be 100 years old. 40 isn't even half way done.

be honest senpai

can any treatment fix this?

my maternal grandfather was balding, but he killed himself before he went fully bald. i think i might follow suit, considering my hairline is already receding.

My mother's father started balding in his 50s but never went completely bald. His father had a full head of thick white hair until he died in his 90s. My father's father had a full head of blond hair until he started getting chemo, but I believe as soon as it started to thin he preemptively shaved his head. He was a mad man.

So, I probably won't go bald, but they all died of cancer, so there's that.

>>12030641
No, but there's a lot of theories based on evolution.

Some say it's a signaling mechanism to women that the man is used up.

Others say it's a signal to women that the man is successful, because getting to the age where you are able to go bald is a sign of wealth. Most men didn't get to become old. A bald man must have a lot of resources. And because men with more testosterone bald quicker, it might show he's more of a boss. But old age is no longer a sign of status.

Others say it's to get more sun exposure. Some people think that people who go bald tend to not get enough sunlight. Bald heads take in a LOT of sun. They get sunburnt super easy.

For some reason, however, the bald gene still exists. Considering that historically women find older men attractive, I tend to believe that there used to be something attractive about bald men.

>>12032849
Finstasteride. It will prevent hairs from falling out anymore, but probably won't restore your hairline. It might to a small degree, but in general, when the hairline recedes, those follicles are dead. Thinning hair is easier to treat. Take a look at the research. Some people have side effects. Also, you probably don't need to take too much to still get benefits. But the problem is that once you start you have to continue it.

Try nofap. If you are shedding hair in the shower, you might see that you shed a lot less when you are not having frequent orgasms. Test it for yourself.

There are a lot of nutritional theories that nobody can verify. Some studies show that men who are pre-diabetic bald more. Also get enough vitamin D and gelatin.

Not me because both have amazing hairlines

>>12017931
>I dont care if i go bald in my forties, i just dont wanna go in my twenties

>>12017931

honestly for me, if balding could wait until i'm at least in my late twenties I would be fine with that. All I want to do is find a good girl and wife her by the time this curse turns me into a freak.

at least I can thank God that I've been called cute and have a good jaw and am pretty fit.

i have a receding hairline i'm 24 and just want to say that i look much better without buzzing. i think very few people can pull it off and thats okay. i keep the top at about 2-2.5 inches. i use a number 8 because thats the highest i have, i then grow it out for 2 weeks for the length i like and the sides are a number 2 with the clippers. this is the best i can do and its not that bad. its far better than buzzing for me, for others that may not be the case. any tips for people cutting their own hair? i think i need to blend or layer the top from shorter in the back to longer to the front.. is that right? its fine as is but i just want to know if there is something i might be missing.

Your type of balding responds better to treatment.

For what it's worth, my moms dad had a full head of hair his entire life. Also, he and his wife were very religious. They only ever had sex to have children and never seen each other naked. He probably also rarely ever masturbated. There's some evidence that frequent ejaculations lead to baldness.
