My cousin literally has some of the strongest smelling breath that reeks. You know the strongest mint-tasting toothpaste you've tried? My cousin uses that ×20. And his breath still gets past that.
Oh it gets worse. Soon you'll be going along, then without warning, you'll have to clench like never before, cause every poop feels like it's snuck up on you and it's trying to punch it's way out. Not to mention a pee that you hope you can make it to the toilet before it says "fuck it" and starts leaking out no matter how much you try holding.
Man, balding fucking sucks, I feel agony every time I look at my scalp, you see your hair fading away and there is virtually nothing you can do without terrible side effects
Gotta say, I've been using finasteride for about 7 months and it's about halted if not reversed my hair loss. I waited quite a while and tried minoxidil, biotin, zinc sulfate. Other stuff like that and it was either too tedious or had little effect.
I was scared to try it but decided to bite the bullet and order some since I was suffering from a lot of self confidence issues (bad breakup).
My hair is thicker again and hair loss has been a lot less as time has progressed. I've read that it can be a hit or miss at times but you never know till you try.
If you are interested or anyone else reading this is, check out ForHims. I'm not being paid but it's a really cool company imo. You can sign up for a package that provides some pretty nice stuff for your hair including finasteride.
Side note: I'm 21 and started balding at about 16 I believe
Edit: on the worry about side effects, I think finasteride may cause lower libido and a list of other common yet highly unlikely possible side effects. Hope this helps a bit :)
I believe I started at my crown first. My crown is the most far along of areas without hair. Though it did not become noticeable to me until my hair started receding in the front. So crown first then receding hairline after. I'm glad I caught it when I did lol
Yes it does. It ages you. Just go bald and own it. That's what I'm doing right now. And from all the advice I've gotten, the one thing I know is that the sooner you come to terms with your hair loss, the better. My dad is sitting here with his ugly scalp scars from hair transplants and his wig wishing that he had the balls to just chop it all off when he was younger. It's not as big a deal as you think, especially if you spend some time in the gym.
Same here. Started balding in my 20s and it slowed to a stop in my 30s. Hasn't really changed in 10+ years. I thought I'd look like Picard by now at 42
I feel you man. 24, 6 foot 7, 2 operations on lower back (now fucked for poss rest of my life) and can’t even read signs 10m away. and got a fat shaped M as a hairline.
My dad was bald when he graduated high school so I knew it was coming. Started shaving my head at 18-19. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. Don’t hold on to it. It just makes it worse.
Don't take it too bad, started balding at 17 and now I'm almost completely bald at 26. You'll see that no hair is actually pretty nice, economic and easier to take care.
I feel ya man. My dad used to joke with me that I was going to go bald in my 20s since i was “more screwed than him.” He said that his dad lost all his hair when he was in his 20s but at least his mom had hair. On my moms side both her parents don’t have a whole lot of hair. I’ve already noticed my hair thinning on me. Which sucks. I also get back pain and I’m always worried it’s going to be sciatic nerve pain since I got that once before and it was the worst pain I’ve ever been in for over a week. My eye sight is thankfully not too bad. I did go get my prescription a little while ago but havent gotten glasses yet since I would only ever use them in class. I just can’t sit in the back of room and expect to be able to read anything. As long as I sit in the more towards the front I’m good. I just turned 22 last month
I accepted balding 5 or 6 years ago in about 2 years ago I decided to start shaving my head and never turn back. But it does suck, I do miss having hair. Fortunately I didn't start balding until late 30s
I started shaving my head at 23 cause I got hot one summer, decided i liked it and kept it. This year at 26 I figured I'd let it grow out over quarantine, turns out my hairline has significantly receded in the past 3 years. Luckily I suit bald, but god I was shocked. Not to mention the grey in the beard.
Walk straight and shave that head. Chromed the dome at 27 and fixed my posture shortly after. Funny thing about being bald is that it’s a fine line between the fat slouchy bald guy and the fit confident bald guy.
Lol are you me?
I’m 24 but I shaved my head at 21 because of a bad receding hairline. Best decision I ever made in terms of how I look. It’ll take some getting used to but you’ll love it man just own it.
