Random Observations and Thoughts Concerning Hairloss

[Jonas]

Hi. I'm nearly 20 years old. I smoke and try to eat healthy but I binge eat for about 4 days after a good drunk. I'm quite unhealthy.

My sole aim from this post is to find out if there are others who've noticed these half-retarded things.

Here is a randomly ordered list of random observations and thoughts concerning hairloss, based on nothing scientific:

1. Alot of bald guys have low amounts of eyebrow hair. I also have a petty amount of eyebrow hair.

2. The same is true for leg hair. I noticed this when I worked at a gas station when I seen balding guys legs. Sparse leg hair that only gets furry nearer to the ankle. My leg hair is the same.

3. People who had high foreheads when they were young are now going bald. I have several friends like this and I am like this. Oftentimes they're weak looking people and have low amounts of facial hair. I can't even grow facial hair period but I'm native american with a fair amount of white blood in me.

4. Alot of people who go bald early usually have lousy complexions.

5. Alot of grotesquely fat men have very strong, manly hairlines.

6. Those fat men go bald if they lose a dramatic amount of weight.

7. Heroin addicts manage to keep their hair.

8. Your hairloss situation looks dreadful in the mirror. The more detailed the mirror the worse. However, in photos of yourself, you realize your hairloss isn't as bad as you thought it was.

9. The crushing feeling of friend noticing your hairloss is unbearable. Double the severity of that feeling when you notice a sincere worry on his face as he says: "You should get that checked out."

10. Fully bald, middle aged men with combovers seem to have lousy spirit. On the contrary, men who do not hide their baldness seem to possess much more vitality and composure.

11. Dumb people tranquil people never go bald. Only the intelligent or the vexed.

1. Alot of bald guys have low amounts of eyebrow hair. I also have a petty amount of eyebrow hair. dunno bout this one

2. The same is true for leg hair. I noticed this when I worked at a gas station when I seen balding guys legs. Sparse leg hair that only gets furry nearer to the ankle. My leg hair is the same. ever see robin williams, guy is a hairy beast, plus i know a lot of hairy assed leg baldies

3. People who had high foreheads when they were young are now going bald. I have several friends like this and I am like this. Oftentimes they're weak looking people and have low amounts of facial hair. I can't even grow facial hair period but I'm native american with a fair amount of white blood in me.I gotta agree that lots of guys with unusually high foreheads in highschool i now see are starting to lose it...the other comment though is generally off, people with lots of beard growth etc have higher dht levels / more sensitive receptors, if anything they are more likely to lose it


4. Alot of people who go bald early usually have lousy complexions.I disagree, maybe people who go bald very quickly do, probably because their androgens / dht levels are way out of whack. I've seen plenty of young balding guys with very good skin


5. Alot of grotesquely fat men have very strong, manly hairlines.
definately true in my opinion, agree 100%, my only guess is that estrogen is possibly beneficial to hair, and fat men have much higher estrogen levels

6. Those fat men go bald if they lose a dramatic amount of weight.
probably hormonal shock of losing so much weight. Rapid loss is very bad and hard on the body


7. Heroin addicts manage to keep their hair. possibly due to the fact they don't eat anything either. People with low caloric diets tend to age better, as they incur less cell-damaging oxidation (ever look at bums...thats another story, but those guys tend to have lots of hair). Possibly slower ageing / cell damage slows progression of male pattern baldness

Its all hit and miss man, everyones case is different. Can't really generalize much.

someone needs to do a huge census of all these factors and get a statistician to look it over for patterns. thing is it be far more important to get none bald persons info than ours. and i doubt they come to this site

Jonas, I've never noticed any of these things about bald guys. Alot of bald guys I see are walking carpets and heroin kills, hairloss is caused by the hairs resopnse to DHT period.

Oh yeah alot of balding guys look like they have higher forheads because their hairlines start way up thier head, this frames the face differently. I wouldn't like to be a fat overweight person I hardly think that that looks manly

yeah, never noticed any of this, Bald guys are usually very hairy, its the guys with the babyfaces without facial hair that usually arent bald.....

1- I am a diffuse thinner, and I have remarkably thick eyebrows. But, it is indeed true, that male pattern baldness does affect more north europeans, than mediteraneans, who have thicker eyebrows.

3- I have low forehead, and I am balding! what I noticed though is that balding suits more those with high forehead than those with low forehead (because low forehead gives a more "round" appearance to your head, enhanced by bald look). Same statements as above about ethnicity, high foreheads are typical of northern europeans.

4- I have bad skin indeed, bad skin+hairloss is a nasty combination :cry: . I think that skin has nothing to do with hairloss, but you notice less hairloss on people who have a nice tan. that's why we advice balding guys to get a tan. or maybe: bad skin=bad health=hairloss
:x

8- when you look at the mirror, you are very focused to details and particularly to your hair, while in photos, you have a more overall sight, and what you discover above all, is that your hair is a very unimportant part of your overall appearance. :hairy:
