Hair Loss
-
Hi,
Was wondering how other guys coped with losing their hair as they age. I'm nearly 49 and starting to go thin in the centre of my scalp through to the front.
I have quite a large head so worried I'll look quite silly if I shave my head. -
I had the same problem and tried loads of different products. Then I found one that actually works and its actually made in a town near me!.
I used it for 3 months, I noticed fuzzy hair growing covering up the old "Digestive biscuit" now its actual normal hair and you could never tell. I have a few friends, one of which had Alopecia, 4 months in she had short hair.https://watermanshair.com/ - I am unsure if they sell it in the uk and its not as expensive as you thought (I almost died when I tried regain), costs about £9 per bottle. ($15), expensive for shampoo but I feel its worth it.

Thanks
I haven't heard of this product before and they ship direct to Australia from the UK!
Its about $40 a bottle which is quite expensive - but if it works…......
I'll research this.
Thanks again for your reply. -

My dad swore by his old world remedy and I can say that he and his brothers all had strong beautiful hair up until the day they died.
This is all it was.3 times a week.
First piss of the morning. Pee into a container and soak your scalp with it. let it air dry and then just lightly rub a wet rag on it to clean the hair follicles but not hard enough to rub the scalp.
Then he would spray a little homemade mint water or rose water on the hair. Just a little to comb it. Wash your hair with non-treated water or spring water and a very mild shampoo (like baby shampoo)once a week.
That's it. -
they say shampoo thins the air fast..but can anyone forego without shampoo?

I'm 23 and started thinning at 21. I started finasteride and it has improved and stopped the thinning all together. It's great.

Finasteride works, 100%. Also, just take care of your hair when younger. Avoid dyes, for one.

That's it.That's sounding like a professional recipe!

Keeping your hair short will make the areas where it's thinning less noticeable. Hair transplants are another option but can be very expensive.

Rogaine + Biotin have helped the most. My hair is still thinner in the back of my head, but it's a much smaller exposed patch of scalp. Kirkland Signature makes a good, cheaper alternative to Rogaine that you can get from Amazon.
I read somewhere that not giving a fuck and shaving it all off is also winning, but I'm just not there yet. Maybe next year

Did you ever find a solution that works for you? I'm 35, and I just started looking into tackling the issues I've been having with hair loss for the past 6 years (I'm lazy af).
Here's an interesting link https://www.the-dermatologist.com/article/1357 that surveys approaches. I can't vouch for its accuracy.
From what all I've read, the only non-surgical interventions for which there is strong scientific evidence are minoxidil and finasteride, and both of those are only known to work for hair loss in certain areas. I started minoxidil this week. I'm not willing to go the finasteride route, as that seems to have a significant chance of coming with sexual side-effects.
Also, saw palmetto is a commonly recommended herbal remedy, but it's not known to actually be effective. I decided I may as well use it since it's known to be good for prostate health anyhow, so I started taking that last week.

If I get to that point, I am going to just keep it shaved and let it go, and start getting into different hats or if I'm really pressed about it, I am going to save up the money and get a hair transplant operation. I'm not going to do the hair kits you buy off the shelf because you'd have to continue applying that crap forever..I will only consider permanent options - go completely bald or hair transplant operation. JMO Good luck.
