Losing hope regarding my hair (seven words)

I tried to buzz my own head and put my system on top of it. Well I messed up the cut but that's not the problem. I have horrible diffuse loss at the back. The hairline looks bad and the only way around it is to get a lace system with bleached front knots. But I don't think that I can get bleached knots in my color (black). I can not even find a hairstyle that seems to suit me. I wanted to wear this system out into the workplace. I would have even told people that it's a system if it looks good. But the plastic is visible from the back. What is the point of even having money and health if you can get have your hair? I had never felt so alive as I did when I first got my system and looked at myself in the mirror every day. But now I know what is going on at the back of my head, it's not the same. I'll have to take off the system and I don't know what I will do next. I don't know if the stylist or the hair system company or my diffuse loss is to blame. Maybe it was the biggest mistake of mine to not try finasteride. And indeed maybe it is better for somebody like me to not have children, even if I could, because this terrible hair situation would be passed on.

sh*t, I feel sorry for you :( consult with your barber if it is possible to have a haircut which demands no hair of your own

Is it possible you can consult the company that gave it to you?

if it’s any consolation, my brother is severely balding and he found a GF when bald. He’s not particularly good looking either.

I know next to nothing about hair systems but this seems like a solvable problem, you already took the biggest step now you just gotta iron out the kinks. Keep thinking back to how you felt when you looked in the mirror

I have booked to go to a hair salon. The person said that they have cut wigs before. But it's not a hair system salon. Let's see how it goes. I guess if I explicitly ask them not to take anything off the system, nothing can go badly wrong.

maybe get some head, like the plastic ones they use to display hats and then practise and check how to improve the back...

It is terrible how badly hair loss affects mental health, no idea why finding a cure is not taken seriously

I canceled my hair salon appointment. I really think that I shouldn't go with somebody who cuts wigs but specifically somebody who cuts men's hair systems. With a system, one thing to watch out for is cutting the hair too thin or short and revealing the base. This probably would never come up with wigs. So that's why I think that I should stick to a hair system salon not just any hairdresser who works with wigs.

At the moment, it doesn't look fake at all but just looks like a bad haircut that wasn't faded properly. In fact, the area where the system connects to my natural hair looks perfect; it's just the area below that where I cut the hair shorter that is wrong. I think that I cut my own because visiting the barbershop has been traumatic for me a lot over the past few years and so I wanted to avoid it if possible. Lesson learned... I have to take the plunge and go to a salon.

I'm going to grow it for a week or two and try a new style. It will be an old fashioned haircut with scissors all around like Steve McQueen or Russell Crowe in Gladiator. If I want short back and sides, then I am limited to keeping the back and sides to like a number 4 guard or longer because of my diffuse hair loss on the back and sides. Let me try a more traditional haircut instead for the moment. I am most probably going to delay going into the workplace. So I can't go with short back and sides, I can't go with a revealed hairline. I won't go with a brushed back style because I don't like it so much... seems like if I had hair I would go for a nice buzz or crew cut, but that is not an option now.

Just a bit more and my hair loss troubles will be over... I have already come so far

because it is no disease and there are things that are more important to research...
i would even argue that everyone thinking about “curing” hairloss does not have your health in mind, but rather your wallet...

Those f*****g shitty dermatologists are useless pieces of sh*t who're not researching anything. Even basic sh*t like seborrheic dermatitis still has no effective treatments

yeah that might be the case, still i think there is worse to care about...

also: probably a cure would make whoever finds it pretty rich... still we dont have it, but is that because noone cares (because they care about real diseases for example), or maybe because there just isnt any cure (at least not yet)?
