Would you do anything if you're going bald?

[Heatman]

Mostly, it's only men that go bald. I don't think I've seen a women ever in my life that went bald. It's a man's thing. Let's assume in a situation where you're going bald, would you do anything to stop it from happening?

I'm currently going through this as my hairline is receding but I just make it happen. My dad went through the same so I just have to adapt.

Female pattern baldness is a real thing. It’s extremely common. While we don’t usually get a receding hairline, we do get bald patches and drastically thinning hair. I’m actually dealing with it right now. I’ve gone to Bosley hair restoration. They think that about 200 grafts would do the job. The problem is that it’s $14,000.

So, for the moment, I’m completely screwed.

Same here. There’s nothin that I can do about it as it as my dad started to go bald around the same age as I did.

If you have the money or can get a loan from the bank, you could try Bosley. But like I said, it’s really expensive.

I would just end up shaving the rest of my hair off if I went bald. However, I don't really have to worry about this since all the guys in my family have a full head of hair. My dad's hair has thinned out recently though but he's in his 60's now.

I'm definitely not messing with those things like Rogaine because they block DHT which is a very essential hormone for men.

That’s too expensive for me and I wouldn’t get a bank loan for it. I’ll eventually just shave it all off instead of doing my normal fade haircuts.

I keep my hair low so it's not all that noticeable.

That’s how I usually get my hair cut. I get a 0 on the side and a 1 on the top. You can only see my balding when my hair is long lol.

How much do they charge for a low haircut in your area? Since you always keep your hair low, how often do you get a new haircut?

I would embrace it. I feel like it is natural, and there is no need trying to bother about what anyone is going to say in that situation. I mean, my baldness shouldn't be anyone's business at all.
