Depending on where your hair is now you could possibly save it.

Male pattern baldness runs in my family. I’m not bald now and may never be but if it happens, I’m shaving and pouring growth retardant on it. Bald is beautiful brehs

What exact type of growth retardant are you using?

Here are your options (I've done 7 years of research into this shyt):

1. Accept it. Learn how to give yourself short hair cuts faded from the side or just completely shave it. If you still have your hairline, then I recommend fading it. If the hairline is going away, you need to completely shave it. You will take -2 or -3 points on the looks scale, unless you are in the 1% of dudes who actually looks better bald.

2. Do whatever you can to save your hair. The 'big 3" is finasteride, minoxidil, and nizoral. Start taking that. If you get limp dikk issues, better hop off that finasteride. You will likely get your hair back on this regimen if you stick with it for a year and for the rest of your life.

3. Get your money up and you can afford 2-3 hair transplants in your life, which should give you enough coverage. You may have to hop on Finasteride though.

*4. Look into Hair systems. They are becoming more popular and it is a quick fix. Growing industry, and a lot of actors use it. However, these can run up to 3-5k a year though. And there still is a stigma attached to wearing a wig/toupee.

*5. Microscalp Pigmentation. Lookup fouseytube. This is where they tattoo your shaved head with little dots to give the illusion you have hair.

I started off doing option 2, but the side effects from FInasteride were too much. Now I'm doing #1 with the fade, but the hairline is slowing going. So I'm considering 3 (have to do more research on it). I will strongly consider 4 if I become single tho (I got the money)

Just cut it off breh. I cut mine 5 yrs ago (almost to the day), i had just turned 23. Shaving my head saved me so much bread, plus my girl (and other females :mjlit:) love it.

And you better than most, you got facial hair. I got a regular ass mustache and chin hair smh.

Shave your head and let that beard bush out. Once it gets full, trim and taper it.

Problem solved.

Am I a piece of shyt for feeling bad for a ton of grey hair at age 32? I guess when I look at things apples to apples, balding is worse than greying.

My condolences breh. May your follicles rest in peace. Go on and rock that bald head, women seem to love that... bad ones will come up to you just to rub it for no good reason.

My hair line started fading when I was 24. Dad old as fukk and had a good hair line and my older brother had no signs of balding. So I was completely caught off guard and it fukked with me for about 2 years. Then I accepted it and that was that. Like other said, I was already working out so I was good there but I can't grow facial hair. Rocking the baby face over here. Wifey digs it tho :yeshrug:
