I hate to admit this but balding has been a really really stressful thing for me getting into 40. I didn't think it would be, I hardly looked in the mirror at

  Embrace it, friend. Shave it all off and grow a goatee (Breaking Bad style). You'll get your mojo back and be better off for it.

  Make sure you're lean and muscular before you lose it all.

  Finasteride and minoxidil are a lifesaver

    Well, there are risks associated with these unfortunately.

      There are risks associated with everything
      • nntwozz 11mo ago
        What's that supposed to mean? There are definitely less risks in not taking finasteride and minoxidil.

          There are risks associated with being bald and depressed
          • nntwozz 11mo ago
            Being bald ≠ depressed

  I started thinning in my early 20s and by my late 20s I was hanging on for dear life to too little scalp hair. Then one day I decided enough was enough and I just shaved my head. 20 years later I wouldn't go back to a full head of hair. It's easier than having a hairstyle, quicker than having a hairstyle, cheaper than having a hairstyle, and best of all, any time I've gotten hot and sweaty, I can just chuck some water over my head in a sink and enjoy whole-scalp-cooling!

  Lean into it and shave your head… I started balding at 18 but regret not shaving my head until my mid 30s… it eliminated all of my anxiety about it, and women seemed to find me more attractive.

  Acceptance is key with all difficult changes. Leaning into it is good advice :) Definitely a rough thing to struggle with.
