Wish everyone a healthy and successful 2022!
Just embrace it and shave it. Any treatment is going to start messing with you hormone balance which isn’t a good thing.
Pro
This. Most derms will tell you the exact same thing unless it's caused by an explicit skin condition/chemical exposure (which looks different than male pattern balding/receding hairline.) The only standard treatments are minoxidil/finasteride and they both have their issues that make them non-starters for many, if they work well at all.
When mine started going a few years ago, my derm basically told me he's been seeing balding increase at a crazy rate, starting younger, and often without a clear genetic component. (My dad's 61 and he+my grandfather have better hairlines than I do.) His take was that it's likely a variety of new stressors, combined with gradual exposure to more hormonal disrupting chemicals in daily life (that weren't nearly as prevalent in the past) that makes baldness more likely to pop up.
I’m a woman and also suffer from hair loss, I have gone to the most widely know dermatologist in Miami for my hair loss and it was a waste of time
What they will recommend is rogaine for men and some pills. Like crowe 1 said it messes up everything else in your system and it’s truly not worth it.
I have decided to go down the holistic naturopathic doctor way … not sure how long my journey will be but it’s better than taking any type of pill that will mess up some thing else
Rosemary water has also been helping me , personally
OP, how old are you? Cause it really depends on the stage of your life and is your scalp visible meaning you are far down the road?
1. Try Nanoxidil from DS laboratories- Helped me a bit with thickening my hair density along with retaining my current hair and I have tried a whole bunch of products from my late teens and now I am 30 ( this has been the best of all )
2. Sometimes, It’s nutritional so check if you are missing any nutrients and if there are any then try to supplement it.
3. You can use minoxidil but make sure to use it with micro needling (Buy Dr.Pen) - 6 days of minoxidil combining with micro needling on 7th day for best results.
personally, I wouldn’t go the route of pills such as propecia or finasteride and I wouldn’t recommend too but that’s also an option.
I didn’t wanted to go bald or get hair transplant so I have tried the above options - you can too if you are in the same boat and
Embrace it, get a buzz cut first, and gradually go shorter and shorter
It eventually becomes a relief. Wear better clothes and focus on improving all other areas of life.
Then one day you look at yourself in the mirror and think, damn never thought this grooming style would look so good on me!
Also welcome to the club! Get ideas from the so many other zero-buzz cut/shaved men in the city in terms of style. We’re a cult haha
