Like a lot of young men losing their hair, I was heading towards a 'downward spiral' like people mention on the forum often, I was quite depressed and have had problems focusing on my body/school work. I had also been afraid to get my hair cut because I was afraid the baldness would be overly apparent (bald spots for example). I looked at my hair and after growing it out for ~4 months it was quite hideous and looked wild so I decided I have to get it cut. I went to get my hair cut and talked to the barber and said I'm losing hair and am worried it'd look real bad so to not take much off the top. I ended up with 3-3 1/2 inches of hair on top and balding was not apparent without close examination aka barely noticeable whereas when the hair was long it was magnified immensely and everyone could tell I was having hair thinning/loss/etc. I looked like an entirely different person and one of the ladies working at the barber shop exclaimed with a high pitch, "You look GOOD now!" It was pretty hillarious because I was doing my best not to burst out laughing and everyone in there kept staring at me until I left. I felt like I just came onto the set of The Swan's 'after portion' transformation.
Also, friends and family were shocked at the vast difference in my look since they could not notice the loss. Regardless, if it means anything, short is good. Also, I've been on finasteride for ~3-4 weeks and have noticed far less hair falling/coming out overall.
