Did they require you to take propecia to stop further loss, results look good.
My hair is a bit receeded now at 23, looks like a mature hairline but I am sure it will recess further in the future so cool to know there are plenty of options now. I am not one for using drugs for myself but definitely also can’t pull off the shaved head look too much either lol [/quote]
I don’t look terrible with the shaved head look but from going from a full head of hair to looking like a thirty year old man wasn’t for me. They recommend you do which I am now but after I get my second surgery I will more than likely stop. Yeah my hair thinned way out during basic training so when I tried to grow my hair after I was in shock. Shop around before you would have a procedure if you would decide to go that route. Also that one article above was rather interesting.

Nothing but its sad to look in your 30s when you are only 19 years old.

Meh.
You look how you look. Confidence, intelligence and charisma will take you farther than looks. But I’m 30 and people think I’m 22 so maybe I’m not the best judge of age lol

I understand getting women and 95% of it is talking to them(game)but I found that it was worth it for me. Huge confident booster and now I look my age now so I’m happy.
I love my hair. I don’t want to be bald. It’s not me. Nothing to do with anything else
I think this is a very personal and individual thing. Some people are cool if they thin, some are not. I prefer to keep my hair, since I have always had a mop my entire life. I thinned out a tiny bit, but I lucked out because I started off with a shit ton of hair.
My prediction is within 5-10 years, hair cloning will be here and in full effect. There is a billion dollar market for it.
I agree with T11, and your procedure looks great. I think things are only going to get better with the constantly improving tech.
This thread actually inspired me to let my hair grow out and see how I do. I know I looked younger with hair but god damn if I haven’t gotten more attention being bald. Normally older chicks too.
My buddy was balding badly by 20s and completely bald by 26, he researched some of the procedures. The biggest con to getting surgery is if you lose more hair, then you end up with a pretty weird looking head of hair (some in the front some in the back and none in the middle). Sure you can have more surgery to fix the new lost hair but there is a limit.
My hair receded back a bit and I gradually started cutting it shorter and I’ve always had a medium to long length haircuts. At first the responses were holy crap you look weird/bad with buzzed hair. Well I’ve been cutting my hair short for 5-6 years now and when I let my hair grow out again now the responses are holly crap you look weird/bad with anything but a very close buzz. The moral of the story is that you/others might THINK you look bad with short/completely shaved head but that’s only because you are not used to it. Give it sometime and you’ll start thinking that longer hair looks strange on you.
Also there is no shortage of white guys with shaved heads that people think are hot. Stathom is the most popular one but there is also Kelly Slater, Damian Walters, Bas Rutten, Andre Agassi, Frederick Ljunberg.
In the end it your choice and how important it is to you. I really don’t care about my hair that much and would have no problems going from buzzing with #1 or no guard to just shaving but I would say try out buzzing/shaving for a few months/weeks, if you still want the surgery then then get it.
*Fredrik Ljungberg, nice name drop.
I’d say that I prefer using the clippers with no guard over shaving with blades. Much easier and faster. It’s funny how that 3mm of hair can make a drastic difference in appearance as well
I do that most the time, plus razors get spendy. I used to clean shave it every 4 days for a couple years straight, you get it down to about a 10 minute process.
Honestly the worst part is trying to keep the shaving scum from gumming up the blades. Good luck getting it out from between those multi-blade set ups.

Zinadine Zidane puled off the shaved look pretty good as well.

Thanks, With that cloning thing I might wait to get another procedure.
