I suppose if its considered vanity, and thus a sin, to attempt to counteract baldness in a medical way...................Churches are probably full of people with buzz cuts when they bald.
In all that Ive learned about treating baldness in the past few years.......................that honestly isn't a bad tactic. Pull an Agassi, a Willis, a Michael Jordon and just forget about it.......
We have all been promised that a "cure" for baldness is "just around the corner" now since about 1990 (I actually read an article back in 89' in a magazine pretty much promising that a cure would be available before 2000).
Looking at just how bald men do indeed go like http://www.hbo.com/sopranos/cast/charac ... ucco.shtml that guy...........Im almost inclined to believe that for some............fighting overwhelming baldness genes is just pointless. The auto-immune disorder that is baldness (and thats what it really appears to be, your immune system attacking hairs that have their growth slowed by DHT and other male hormones) eventually age just about every hair on your damned head, leaving you with a 3 inch hippocratic wreath that starts back at your ears.
Online forums like this are terrific for guys treating baldness in the first years of its appearance, while they can learn of future gene technologies, or cloning, moving body hair to the head, etc. in hopes of people not having to necessarily lose their hair if they dont want to.
On God Almighty and baldness..........................I respect the fact that he made the universe and all thats in it. I appreciate life and health. But early onset male pattern baldness is the one thing he did other than people being born with outrageous ailments, mental retardations, deformities, that I feel like he "gave man too much of a burden". Those of you who seen early recession in your teens and early twenties know what Im talkin' about. When I first noticed at 20, that my temples were going, I remember standing in front of a bathroom mirror just shaking. No buzzcuts and shaves were seen back then. Balding men pulled comb-overs and were made fun of. Its much easier to just whip out the clippers now, grow a goatee'. In fact, if I were one of you newbies.......................I'd treat it, but I'd still buzz it short. That way if the treatments started to fail you, it wouldn't be such a big blow to you as the years go by. I'd be upfront about it to any women in my life and family too. I'd say, Hey......Im taking propecia, and rotating nizoral and a copper peptide shampoo.
Early onset baldness is one of the toughest things God asks a man to deal with. One can go on and have a great life despite it however. Look at Michael Jordan, he's a nice looking man and a success. There are many others. A short do' is your friend in my opinon though. Comb-overs are the earmark of a loser.

I'm not entirely sure why this thread was brought back, but anyway...
bible thumpers are no less vain than the rest of the world. Anyone who tells you they aren't vain is either a liar or mother theresa, and mother theresa's dead.
