How do I cope with early hair loss and baldness insecurity?

[FrodoSkywalker007]

So, long story short. Combination of intense stress and medications has thrown me for a loop. I'm rebuilding my life in some ways, but it's a long road. It's left very serious impacts.

One aspect I can't seem to control is hair loss. It's a deep seated insecurity for me, and there seems to be no family precedent for it. However, it's really bad for my age. I've tried some things to fix it, seems pointless now.

How do I come to terms with it? Just shave it all off, go bald and fit and say "screw it"? 😂

I'll probably just accept it and stay fit.

My hair started falling out when I was 20 when my mom died. A couple years later I got kicked out of my rental house by the property management company and they sold the house. I had to move into my friend’s garage. Shortly after I remember taking a shower, and while washing my hair I saw a couple hundred hairs on my hands trust has just fell out. This happened a couple times and then it slowed down. I always gave myself a short buzz cut and kept my hair 1/4 to 1/2 inches long before, and just stayed with the 1/4 buzz cut until there wasn’t much hair left on top of my head in my late 20’s. After that it’s been cut with just the clippers with no guide or clip. I don’t miss washing or combing my hair really at all. The only problem was I looked 40 in my late 20’s, but I still look the same now. Who cares, it’s just hair. Fuck it.

Thanks ☺ oddly gives me some hope.
I used to have awesome hair. Just had some unfortunate things happen.

My plan now is to get back on my fitness routine, and eventually get around to shaving it off. Hopefully I look good 😂

I always sleep in till the last minute before waking up to go to work. I don’t have time for fancy hairdos. If I still had hair, I would still be buzzing it short so I don’t have to comb it like when I was a teenager. My hair was really thick and like wearing a dark hat in the summer sun. It’s too hot here for that shit

Realize two things:

1. There's nothing you can do about it. Hair loss is something that happens, it's based on genetics.

2. Many women consider bald guys to be sexy, so go ahead and shave your head, get rid of all the hair, so its loss will no longer bother you.

I think it's definitely worth trying to reverse. I mean, if it doesn't work and you can just go to other route anyway so you may as well try. I've seen a guy on reels who did like microneedling and some sort of topical treatment and the results were very good.

Maybe you should shave the rest off yeah, if nothing has worked to reduce it. And then just try to be confident. Confidence and the way you carry yourself is key.

[ohsheeT]

First things first just like with anything else in this world you acknowledge it and then you accept it


Then you become confident believe in yourself and understand does it really matter what people think of you

The only thing that matters is what you think of yourself would you believe in

Look there's always going to be somebody in your life that does not like you it might tease you who cares ignore them and they will be gone let it bother you and they will bother you everyday

Sometimes the night is just better to roll with the punches

Because in the end it's not that we fall down it's how we get back up and keep walking one step in front of the other and love yourself find yourself become yourself

staying fit won't make up for the baldness, believe it or not just because you are fit you won't be attractive, not everyone looks good with baldness. there is something called hair industry that has lot of options, go seek them out don't give up on having hair this easily.

I'd suggest talking to your doctor about it if you think there is a link to your medication. However it might just be the way it is and unrelated. I know a few guys who just shave their head and go full bald. It doesn't look bad at all.

Just cover up

[FrodoSkywalker007]

I'll get that very wig 😂

Old cliche.

Shave it. Pullups, weighted pushups, inverted rows, ring dips, weighted squats and lunges all at home..

[Cidknee]

You try Rogain, and two or three other types of hair restore products and resort to old mythical home remedies. Then, with no positive results, about 3 years down the road you give it up and shave your head and adopt the nickname T-Bone.

[Chayce]

Minox & fin or dut. Derma stamp and scalp massage and biotin too. If it's past these points save up like 5k and go to Turkey.

You should get a hair transplant before you lose more hair.

[Kingofkings1992]

I started losing my hair at 22 years old. It is what it is. I shave my head, it's my normal look. If it bothers you that much, there are treatments available for it.
