    I was told rubbing horse manure into your scalp works,but if not at least from a distance you look like you have a good head of hair.........if a little pungent.

    Apparently spunk activates the hair follicles also, but it needs to be left on for 24 hours.

    Grace, acceptance and Amazon do several pairs of decent clippers. 👍

    I quite like the Philips ones.

    Early castration prior to puberty is an effective cure. I understand that singing may also be improved by the same means.

    Yup, looks can be deceiving.

    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    No worries. Nah I love being bald. Maybe 30 years ago I was a bit concerned. My hair started to go when I was 34 very slowly at first. When I was very ill at the age of 42 it fell out in a year. My partner only goes for bald men which is good for me!

    I started receeding when I was 16.

    As someone said to me, "Embrace your inner baldness, because soon everyone will be able to see it."


    Never bothered me.
    So clever my foot fell off.

    When getting older hair starts to grow from places you'd rather not have it grow from.

    When in need of a decent "combe over" just let the nasal hair flow freely for a couple of years and slap it round the head.
    Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!

    Have been 'clipping' my hair for years now. Doesn't bother me at all.

    Got these new clippers recently:

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Takes a fraction of the previous time as they have a wider blade and with no guard on they cut as close as the Wahl balding clippers. Best ones I have had so far and I have tried a lot. Very pleased.

    Nah my excess nasal hair is a surrogate stand-in handlebar moustache. Not sure there's enough to dual-home it.

    Called Rogaine in the US to avoid misleading consumers there into thinking they might actually regain their lost hair. (According to QI, anyway.)

    I will give these a shot. Must have bought about 30 different sets over the years and have never found one I really like. Starting to become a mild obsession.......

    Finasteride (propecia) is quite commonly effective. I've been taking it for around 7 years and it's made a huge difference (at least to the rate of hairloss if nothing else). I stopped taking for around a year when we were trying for our son and I noticed my hair start to disappear again!

    I get it from Boots online, works out at about £1/day. Eventually I'll accept losing my hair, but it's not going without a fight :-)

    Hair loss - any solutions?

    Also, side effects wise there are reports of a few different things but it seems for the vast vast majority nothing at all. I've not experienced any at all, I only stopped when trying for our son as a precaution, but turns out it wasn't necessary.

    When I reach 30 I'll give up and accept it :)

    Yep (sadly) I know that slight clipper obsession...Let me know what you think. I've been really pleased.

    Shave it off. No point fighting nature.

  25. #125
    I shaved my head (wet razor) 20 years ago when in my early twenties when I still had a full head of hair.
    Consequently I've never had the worry of watching it thinning over time.
    Simple wet shave a couple of times a week. Must have saved a fortune on hair care over the years!

    I thought such things were 5 figures? £1700 seems very reasonable.

    Jokes aside, a friend of mine is on his second transplant, the first one was done about 6-7 years ago when he was in his early 30s. No idea how much he paid or where it was done, but knowing his flamboyant lifestyle, I'd imagine it was a top specialist/clinic. Second as well as first one looks very thick and natural, and I'd never guessed if he wasn't open about it. Just saying..

    The top guys are in Canada - Hassan and Wong they are called, there transplants look superb and I've had a couple of friends get theirs done over there. The cost is around 10k though but I'd say its worth paying if you want a proper natural hairline and it means that much to you.

    I'm just going to shave myself, think I've got 4/5 years left until it's shave away.

    I know a couple of people that have been bald by early 20’s who have parents with full head’s of hair.

    It seems the link there is your mother’s father, regardless of parents hair quality, if your grandfather on your mother’s side was bald from a young age the chances are you will be despite good hair genetics from parents.

    So if you and your partner have good hair but her Dad is bald your 1st born son may likely inherit that.

    Obviously you have the direct bald father to son link which seems most prevalent to first born child of said bald father, if there is multiple male children the younger ones may suffer less hair loss.

    I know of two families with bald Dad’s having sons and in both families the eldest son is the most bald. In one there’s two sons, eldest one completely bald by early 20’s and younger didn’t lose his hair and now in early 30’s still going ok. In the other family there’s 4 sons, again eldest was completely bald from a young age and none of the others anywhere near as bald and infact still have their hair albeit not the thickest.

    All of the men I know of on my mum's side had grand heads of hair. It's my dad's side that were lacking.

    Shaving ones head is super practical - don’t even have to look in the mirror in the morning !....Time and effort saved by not attending haircuts, never get your hair caught in anything, no worries about accidentally having a funny looking haircut due to fashion trends, also disguises grey (if that concerns you) and many more benefits !

    Downsides include - any extremes of weather will require a hat or sun cream, if you have an odd shaped head/jug ears then this can be emphasised by the absence of hair.

    I tend to think of the thinning thatch on top of me bonce- Not as going bald but simply, I'm growing too tall for my hair

    It's sorta like people with massive noses, They could tell people that they don't have large hooters but rather that their cheeks are just set back a bit too far

    Big noses cause air is free.
    Wahl clippers for me too, rechargeable so I can clip my head over the bath before I shower, it all just washes down the plughole.

    Very interesting topic: I am 33. Over the past years my hair gets thinner and since a few years 'the spot' is getting quit visible.

    It does worry me and I quit hate the remarks that I get from people around. :( Also, I do think trimming doesn't suit my face. Difficult stuff.

    Have you noticed how many people seem to think it's their duty to tell you your hair is thinning? Normally when there are plenty of people around.

    Be like, wow I hadn't noticed thanks for letting me know. Oh yes....

    It's one of those male 'jokes' which if you tried on a woman you'd be alone for quite a long while.
