Hey Bald Man-
I have a question you should be an expert on. I am young (20) and showing signs of going bald. I have a receding hairline, and a very small but growing bald patch on the back of my head. How did you cope with going bald? Should I try and stop it?
Sincerely,
Freshly Balding
Hi Balding-
Going bald at such a young age blows. I started getting noticeably bald a little younger than you, and I remember how tough it was. Here is what you should do.
- Avoid hair replacement/regrowth products and drugs. They are expensive and often do not work. If they do work, you have to keep using them forever. Until they invent a permanent, affordable solution, stay away.
- Shave your head (or at least cut your hair short). Holding on to long or even medium length hair will make you look like a goon. Trust me I did that until I was like 26 and my girlfriend at the time made me. I looked like shit and was always self conscious. The second I made the move to start shaving my head, I never considered going back to my old ways.
- Work out. Going bald will, unfortunately, mean that a certain percentage of sexual partners are off the table. There might be some girls with daddy issues that prefer bald men, but that will be rare and is not really a tangible benefit. If you work out, some of the sexual partners you otherwise would not have a chance with will reconsider.
Thats all. Once you start shaving your head, life becomes a lot easier.
