There are a couple of good hairstyles that benefit from a little balding, if it gets to much just go full bald. Its just superficial in the end anyways.

[-] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 84 points 2 days ago

Damn bro. Life ain't over because your hairline went bad

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Nothing wrong with a little male pattern baldness. Disrespectfully OP, you are wrong.

I mean, it's just hair. We're certainly not vain and superficial enough to let that "ruin our lives", right?

[-] TheAlbatross 15 points 2 days ago

I have a widows peak and I get mad compliments on my hair. It's only over when it's over, buddy.

[-] Scrath@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 days ago

I didn't know what a widows peak was so I googled it and figured out that's just what you call that type of hairline in english.

Personally I really like the german word for it which is "Geheimratsecken". It literally translates to "secret council corners".

[-] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago

Germans have the best words.

those new research chemicals for hair loss pop up every year with lofty promises, and always end up being nothingburgers when the results come in.

if you care about it, try the treatments already available. they seem to help most people.

Top-shelf zaza disrupted my circadian rhythm!

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Got any more of those Sequoia banshee boogers?

[-] IWW4@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

Man, my only regret about shaving my head was that I didn’t do it 15 years sooner!

[-] seralth@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

Bald early to mid 30 dudes are currently all the rage as streamers.

The rest have become vtubers.

It's rather funny watching the slow take over of bald bros on twitch and YouTube.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 10 points 2 days ago

Estrogen is the answer to this problem :3

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

I started taking pills for it a few years ago. It was ridiculously easy to do. I did it online, it auto-renews, and it's an easy chewable I take every morning.

I think a lot of guys have the impression that hair treatments are bullshit, because for a while there they were. But the new shit works, at least for me.

No side effects or downsides for me. My hairline is just paused, even rewound a little bit.

[-] hedge_lord@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

When I see people complaining about losing their hair to male pattern baldness I'm thinking "just take finasteride" or "why don't you just take finasteride" or "just block the DHT this isn't some inevitable thing and that'd probably help so why don't you just do that?" But I'm not a testosterone enjoyer so I lack their perspective on things

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

It's not that simple for some men, but for some other men it's exactly that simple. I'm sure I'm a little lucky, but it was such an easy decision for me with no downside.

[-] imdc@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This the stuff where 2% of users lose their boners, then 2% of that 2% don't get them back once they stop taking it? Nah I'll take the chrome dome.

[-] compostgoblin 4 points 2 days ago

Which med is that?

Everyone’s risk tolerance is different, but a 99.96% chance that I would not experience irreversible side effects feels like pretty good odds

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Do you think maybe there's some kind of demographical overlap between people who take hair pills and people who were going to lose their boners anyway?

[-] Sandouq_Dyatha@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

the pills are just zinc

[-] Carvex@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago
[-] moakley@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Ok, but I'm not lying.

Do you think I'm advertising or something? What would be my motivation for lying?

[-] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

Have you noticed a loss on libido? My understanding is that those pills reduce testosterone, which can reduce libido and everything else t does for men.

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Definitely not. My libido is as high as it ever was (which is fairly high).

[-] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

I can’t go bald if I shave my head every morning

[-] Master@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

I do it every other day with an electric and it take about 10 min... If I forget then it takes about an hour because its to long for the electric.

[-] CodingCarpenter@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Every morning? What do you use?

[-] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I dont actually

[-] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

The secret to immortality right there

[-] Master@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

At some point in their life most men have to make the greatest decision in their life... Keep their hair or keep their erection. I've started shaving my head!

[-] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago

I'm ugly with hair, losing it won't make me that much uglier.

[-] seralth@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

Bald is an improvement in a lot of cases. Unless your my dad who has a vendeta against his skull and has given him self more lumps then Elmer fudd.

[-] Uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

I've had a pretty intense widows peak since teenagerdom and have also gotten regular compliments on my hair since teenagerdom. Coincidence? I think not!

[-] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I shaved my head clean, I'm pretty luckly I've got a great head shape for a bicked head. Unfortunately I did it just to see and I have a really full head of hair at 42. I'll never get to share my beautiful bald head with the world.

[-] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 3 points 2 days ago

Patrick stewart would like a word with you...

[-] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 2 days ago

i passed that point at like 22.

[-] latenightnoir 0 points 2 days ago

Shave it off! I dare ya'! I double-dare ya'!
