****mas

[EvilLocks]

This Christmas was a ****ty one thanks to (lack of) hair. Now you DHT demon have taken my hair, my education, my friends, my love, my confidence, my everything. What's next ?? It looks to be a ****ty new year too. Hope you guys had a better Christmas than me.

 

[shookwun]

Other than my girlfriend's family members calling me Phil Collins and wanting to rub hand cream on my head, it was pretty good .

Merry Christmas!

Why would they call you that? Indirectly calling you bald

 

[lkm370]

just shave it bro. guys like bald girls. its all confidence brah

 

[Exodus2011]

shud have mentioned how phil collins is practically legendary and more successfull than all of them combined

 

[resu]

Even Phill Collins didn't shave it bro:

Even tried to leave the island there.

 

[EvilLocks]

It's a mistake for a pale white guy to shave it all off bro.

And legendary Phil Collins did not make that mistake.

If you do, people will ask you if you're on chemotherapy.

I see you have changed your status Norwood to 2.5, Fred. Good for you. Got any new pics?

 

[EvilLocks]

Thank you. It was difficult to assess, I definitely cannot be considered a NW5 anymore.

I'm not a NW2 and I'm not as "bad" as a NW3, so yeah there you have it: I'm NW2.5

The most important thing is that I'm seen as someone who has hair, or at least someone who could grow hair.

That makes an big difference:

Bald guy shaving = bald loser who desperately tries to hide his baldness. Society can mock him and tease him about his affliction.

Guy with hair shaving = "ow he doesn't give a damn of what people think of him! How alpha! How sexy!"

Of course I hope I'll be able to grow my hair longer and that it will look good once I get the 40 remaining percent of growth from my FUE.

I'm very curious to see your final result and hope you will share it with us when the time comes. I can't help but feeling jealous as my own DUPA hair loss makes it impossible for me to do a transplant but at the same time I am happy you found a way "out". Hopefully your new life as a man with hair will bring you joy, you deserve it.

My Xmas was pretty bad too, never knew hair loss could have such an impact on my life. My self confidence is so crushed. I used to have big bangs to hide my receding hairline, can't do that anymore, my bangs are so thin and they just hang flat on my forehead. Now my bangs start in the middle of my scalp. What am I supposed to do, start my bangs or fringe line at the back of my head?
This year just was horrible for me, skin disease, eye diseases, hair loss oh I spend Xmas day in the er with my little girl , poor thing she has rsv, I'm staying with her in the hospital, she's better now thank god, hopefully we can go home tomorrow.
2015 is only going to get worse, more hair loss, skindisease will get worse ,... My luck is done , all the luck I have is my kids and husband!

another thing that sucks is, I used to get my hair done, dress nice and put on makeup. Ow I don't care anymore, no matter what I do, I look like crap, the only holiday I'm happy is Halloween now.

Me too. It seems I have lost all desire to dress up and look pretty, because I look like crap because of my hair anyway. I'm sorry your christmas wasn't better.

Thank you evillocks, my Xmas present is that's she better, it scared me to dead to see her full of hives. Guess her immunesystem reacted really strong to the virus. She has my aggressive immunesystem.

My doctor told me women don't bald like men, he has never seen it. But when I look at pictures online, there are plenty of women who look like guys, I'm scared to death to look like that. I just don't know how to handle it.

 

[EvilLocks]

I just don't know how to handle it.

Me neither, me neither... I know being a bald woman is my future but I can't see how I'm going to handle that for the life of me. With every passing day I grow a bit more sad, a bit more angry and a bit more desperate. It's really unfair.

i know it's unfair. It makes me believe I've must have been a horrible person to deserve all this. But then I see people who are so egocentric and into themselves, they have perfect hair, teeth , skin, the perfect husband and children and the perfect big mansion with the big car oh, and all the luck in the world. Why not give them a little bit of a battle. I'm almost sure the devil rules this world and wants to make me miserable, or maybe God is testing my faith like he did with Job.
Wheres my luck. I bought a lucky bamboo in January this year, thinking it would give me some luck ,you know what , that bamboo is going to the dump, I think it sucks up my luck.

Every christmas my parents always go to some big community event, I didn't feel like I could take all the negative comments of people about me again so I just pretended to be sick. First christmas that I was all alone actually, so I decided to eat a pizza and play some skyrim and battlefield. Got some calls of different dronken girls, telling me painful but not insulting things. They couldn't seem to shut up about how handsome I used to look and asking me why I let myself go downhill so much (like I can do something about for instance my balding problem). I was bored so I decided to listen and they said some pretty stupid funny things.

Not a great christmas compared to how it used to be, but a better one then the past 3. Pretty depressing to read that the christmas of evillocks and fena wasn't also so well...

How is your child now fena? I just hope she didn't inherited your balding gene...

Agreed, I also wondered what happened to my luck.

sorry about your Xmas! Why in the hell would those girls call you to say such things, not really cool!

My kid is a strong little bud, she's fine now, nurses were pretty impressed how she puts up a fight when they had to give her the meds and other things.
You know what, I hope both my kids didn't inherit my balding genes. I didn't know women could be balding like men until this year. I've had hair loss for years, but because of my thick hair I've never noticed it until now. Would I have had kids if I had known, maybe , maybe not, I can't say. I mean there are girls who lose their hair and have no balding familymembers and I know girls who have parents with balding problems on both sides and have no Androgenetic Alopecia. So they might be lucky. Anyway, by the time they're older, there should be a cure, has to be a cure! If not , i will pull them through it and listen to them, unlike my family who thinks I should just accept it and not overreact.

made me think though, hair loss really sucks, because if one of my girls or both will have it, then I will be very depressed because of the guilt feelings, because I would be the one that passed it on to them, great.

I life in a...well let's say weird community, so if they get drunk things like that happen.

Anyway I don't think chances are big that they will go bald, I think you were unlucky enough to just accidentally have an active balding gene. And well...even if they do, I think histogen will be out by then and at least that stops hairloss.

Thats exactly what the definition of Androgenetic Alopecia should state.
A few days I've asked my uncle to show some family pictures of my grandma and her sisters and parents.... All of them , even my great grandma, had beautiful thick hair, beautiful skin. Even at age 80 , my grandma didn't have a wrinkle.
My mothers dad, also had very thick hair. How in the hell did my mother have a receding hairline (no thinning anywhere else). Nobody in that family has it? On my dads side there's baldness and skin problems, how in the hell did I get both , while my brother just has the receding hair line and still has a ton of hair on the rest of his scalp, and he has nice skin. It's like I inherited any genetic flaw.sorry I'm ranting but I'm just having a bad week.

EvilLocks and Fena2000: I just watched part of a video on Bald Truth called, "Young Bald Woman Talks about How to Deal with Hair Loss." Thought you'd be interested. Unfortunately, I'm still just as bitter and depressed about my hair loss. Maybe you'll feel differently. I don't think anything will make me accept this.

Thx joan, I'll watch it.
I don't think I'll ever accept this either.

Well I returned from my hometown a few days back and thankfully it was better than I expected in terms of my hair loss. There were just a couple of embarrassing moments. One when my aunt (dad's brother's wife) pointed out my hairloss to my mom but she was sympathetic about it and even mentioned how her husband (dad's brother) has lost most of his hair on the vertex. I guess my family does have the hair loss gene although my uncle is now 44.

Anyways another moment was when my other aunt (a nun) noticed it and she went all into panic asking me how it happened and why don't I do anything. As usual I really don't want to get into the process of explaining male pattern baldness and DHT and hereditary hair loss to people so I just said idk. Finally after telling me to use XYZ snake oil and to shave my hair completely she shut up.

Other than that there was no mention about my hair loss by anyone else although I tried my best to hide it naturally.

I don't think the situation will be the same a few years later when I go back as a full Norwood 6 or 7 though.

I can only try to understand what the rest of you guys must be going through. Meeting old friends and family during festivals is just a pain coz of how they get shocked to see that you've lost hair and act like your life is over. Anyways Merry Christmas and hope you guys have a better year ahead.

You know, I never really got into Spencer's talk show. Not because I think he's a douche (he is), but rather because no amount of listening to his show will actually solve anything. For example:

'I just listened to 27 episodes of The Bald Truth that lasted about 45 hours, but I'm still bald.'

That's the problem. His show doesn't fix hair loss. Hair fixes hair loss. I don't see how listening to that douchebag is going to solve anything, all the dude does in the hair loss community is reap the benefits off us from the doctors that advertise and solicit on his site and forums. A more interesting topic would be 'How the fvck do WE ourselves solve this disease?'

 

[Exodus2011]

not to mention spencer kobren has ZERO hair loss, not even receding. wtf is with that?

is it a hairpiece?
