Minoxidil is the only thing that ever "worked" for me, but I got tired of the routine very quickly and it wasn't nearly as effective as desired. The real cure is to stop worrying about it and to buzz off whatever remaining hair. You will look and feel 10x better than if you try to patchwork your way through it.
Think about the end game - hair loss is probably only going to escalate over time. This is an uphill battle. Focus on other parts of your body. Things you can fundamentally improve without drugs and other fake crap. I am sure everyone on this board can quickly identify certain popular figures who have gone all-in on the "save my hair at all costs" angle and should look to this as a cautionary tale, not an inspirational one.
- datavirtue 2y agoYeah, can't fix what isn't broken. I just shrugged and moved on. Never worried about it for a minute. I would definitely try something easy with zero side effects, though. Just curious if we can crack this nut. It would be way more impactful for women if it works for them.
- seethedeaduu 2y ago> hair loss is probably only going to escalate over time Not if you take the right meds. And I can assure you, they are very real.
- skyyler 2y agoFinasteride works great.
- raydev 2y agoShow me someone 55 or older with a successful stack and lush head full of hair that isn't due to genetics. Musk is one of the richest men in the world and he's had multiple transplants, yet is thinning aggressively again.
- seethedeaduu 2y agoIs he on dutasteride?

- ffsm8 2y agoDepends on your income, honestly. Hair transplants are a thing and work pretty well if the person in question has the money available. Several streamers have covered their transplant phase, giving you an insight to their experience over the months. I personally don't value my hairline to that degree, but it does exist and works well.
- snapplebobapple 2y agoThis whole thing is weird to me. I have the genetics for good hair but ended up bizzing it off because it was annoying every few months. I only get haircuts now because my 3 year old son wamts haircuts and needs an example.the whole thing seems so dumb.
- ASalazarMX 2y ago"I don't know why those weirdos obsess with baldness" says man without baldness. To be honest, I also cut it very short because it's comfortable and indeed looks better when it's receding, but it would be nice to have the choice.
- snapplebobapple 2y agoI also shaved it completely with a double edge razor (and sometimes my straight edge, although rarely) for several years. I only stopped because that was more of a pain in the arse than shaving it close with clippers.I've done it all from completely razor shorn bald to a nice hairstyle, none of it makes any sense to me. Women don't care about your hair, they care about your ability to earn income to support their desires, that you don't have any off putting aromas (translates to not too fat, and regularly cleaned) and that you have an ok personality so it's not like conversing with a board of wood, literally in that order
- navjack27 2y agoYou've been hanging around the wrong women honestly. None of that is a universal truth. Those are just brainworms.
- penguin_booze 2y ago> The real cure is to stop worrying about it and to buzz off whatever remaining hair That's the Hobson's choice we're left with.
- m463 2y agoHad to look it up on wikipedia: A Hobson's choice is a free choice in which only one thing is actually offered. The term is often used to describe an illusion that multiple choices are available
- telcal 2y agoMinoxidil also comes in tablet form if you don't want to mess with the liquid or foam.
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 2y agoYeah, I spend a lot less on shampoos and barber shops now, and save time too. Hair is vestigial - there is a reason homo sapiens have less hair than gorillas.
