This! I'm one of the old-timers on this forum (started visiting 7 years ago) yet I'm not bitter that I still can't get a good head of hair back.
We were talking about Intercytex and other failures in 2009, and it used to give me (false) hope but come on, companies like Intercytex cannot even be compared to the players we have today.
I'm thankful I could use minoxidil with some success, and that I could benefit from a state-of-the-art FUE hair transplant at a cheap price. The fact that it was possible for a NW5 to go back to having some hair is already a godsend, and many whiners don't even realize that.
"Yeah but it's not enough, I want a thick NW2!"
"Yeah but, it only looks 99% natural, and I don't want the .1% of the population who are Norwood spotters to notice!"
"Yeah but, it's too expensive, brb buying a new car!"
I could go on.
Yes these guys will still be whining when we have enough different treatments to all get back to a decent head of hair.
They'll complain that they have to fly to Japan, that it's too expensive and even then, the hairs are transplanted, and transplanted hairs will never look as natural as your native hairs!
You know what? Just remain bald and stop whining! You're not allowed anymore.
