Has anyone taken anything like rogaine etc. for a extremely minor receding hairline? I'm thinking of taking it but am not sure which dermatologist to go to. Suggestions?

I'm not sure of the validity to this, but my friend who's a nurse says rogaine has side effects which include man boobs... so beware.

why not just shave your head? this way it wont be noticeable and will look better then having half your hair gone.. I really dont like how it looks.. this is what I would most likely do if I start having a receding hairline...

Just be bald man. Cut it off, or shave it or wear a hat but don't start treating every folicle like a precious gift. It's hair. There are so many more important things.

ya man i know a bunch of guys older and younger that have hair loss. they either go bald or keep it really short and clean and/or wear hats. looks good and no one ever makes a thing out of it. pretty much it's a confidence thing. have confidence like :fuckyea: and no one even notices or cares.

DO NOT ever do a combover

If you dont know what a combover is... keep.... looking....

Only a few things are effective. They are: Hair transplant, rogaine, and proprecia.

Hair transplant is expensive but permanent solution. BUT if you are in middle of losing hair (ie. you didnt lose all hair yet), do not do transplant. Imangine if you transplant your hairline but lose more hair above the transplant spot.

Rogaine - disguisting expensive thing you put in your hair. Need to continuously use it forever because once you stop, you will lose hair.

Proprecia - expensive testosterone inhibiting drug. You can buy the cheaper generic form of it (but need to cut it in quarters). Keep this drug away from women, especially pregnant woman and young girls. It will screw them over. You also need to take proprecia continuously forever.

A neighbor of ours told me once, when I saw him take his hat off(finally) and he was landing strip down the middle bald, and I was like, "wow, I didn't know you were bald" and he says, "kid, you know what testosterone is right? well, you use your testosterone to grow your hair, and I'll use mine how I see fit"

Not another word was ever spoken :)

Does hairloss on your head mean hairloss on other parts of your body too?

I don't need products for hairloss, it falls out just fine on its own.

Start with buying a grounding mat (look up earthing on YouTube, Mercola has some videos on it) and eating a 70-90% fruit diet (see Dr.Morse on YouTube)

And don't forget to shove crystals in your ears and nose (you may need to redesign your tinfoil hat to accommodate the ear crystals).

receding is not as bad as mpb. If you're balding at the top down, just shave it. I have receding and balding at the top and am using minoxidil for about a month now. I can see difference but maybe it placebo and they said it requires 4 month of use to notice difference. Plan b for me is shaving it. Once I do, it's fuck the world and go out and do shameless pick ups. Not that I give a shit about rejection now but it'll be down right not give a shit then.

you could buy one of those laser combs that treats your scalp with heat apparently it works to some degree and its side effect free (compared to the others)

get a hair transplant

take pills (possible side effect is you dont get horny anymore)

rogaine (possible side effect is you lose hair faster, etc)



talk to your doctor

best bet is just to let it go, who cares? if you really cant live without it opt for one of the solutions that aren't filled with side effects

age respectfully, men go bald, it's part of life

what's worse, the donald trump look (comb over), the wayne rooney look (hair transplant that doesn't look good at all, i guess add the john guy from john and kate + 8), or the cut short and clean.

certainly not the latter!

I have a receding hairline and I shave my head with clippers (no guard) about 3 times every 2 weeks. What you going to do, shit falls out looks better shaven then partly grown IMO. Invest in a good set of clippers as well, no some cheap pair from Costco or something get Hairdresser grade.

Sometimes I wear a hat but generally speaking a fuck could be given about my hair at this point.

I shave my head. It looks good. And I save a decent chunk of money. My head hair grows more slowly than my facial hair, and it's finer. If I want to keep my head completely smooth I'd shave maybe twice a week, but I typically just use clippers on the closest setting. It gets the job done and still looks quite decent.

Though if I've got an interview or a party or some other type of thingie going on, I'll definitely smooth down all the way.

I have two jokes:
When some of my hair decided to leave, I declared war on the rest; "If some of you are going, ALL OF YOU GO!"

"God only made so many beautiful heads. The rest, He covered in hair."


Seems to work.

Proscar does work, and quite well. However it's use has been linked to cancer etc so I decided living without cancer was better than having hair and cancer, stopped taking it about 6 months ago, still looks alright but has noticeably lost hair since I stopped taking it

my friend did this expensive surguery ($35,000?) where they take the hair follicles from the back of your head and stick em in the front and it still grows like normal.

He said it was an 8 hour procedure in which u are awake the whole time.

Graeme S
12-02-2012, 08:07 PM
Yep. They literally take hunks of skin off the back and sides of your head, remove the follicles, and then re-transplant them elsewhere on your head. This evens out your hair all over your head, and results in a more natural yet thinner look.

I assume he had it done here? I had some students who were nurses at plastic surgery clinics in korea; typically you'd be looking at $6-12,000 there.

Even with the cost of a ticket and hotel, you're saving money. And you get a "free" vacation!

Ya he did it locally. Told me a story bout how another client signed on to do it like 3-4 times but backed out at the last second each time. Non refundable. Wasn't til the last time that the doctor really tried to convince him it's worth going through with it.

lol sounds a bit ludicrous but I guess it would work. I'm starting to lose so much hair by the second, especially since I started growing my hair out longer than usual. Don't think I would consider doing surgery to keep my hair. Might consider the rogaine stuff everyones talking about tho. :concentrate:

One of the issues with the Rogaine and other skin-hormone treatments is that you have to do them crazily regularly and for the rest of your life.

Me, I'm too lazy for that. Shaved head it is!

35k sounds like a great exaggeration, Hasson and Wong who are amongst the best in the entire world are here in Vancouver, they can do a whole head basically for 12-15k, asuming it's just the typic cul-de-sac, you can get varrying levels of coverage but not one example I've ever seen pictured was more than 15-18

i know 2 people who have gone to this place and its worked for the both of them only problem one of them showed me was a line in the back of his head that looks something similar to a double chin other than that they both say that its well worth it and the cost i recall was around 10k 4 years ago.

I have my hair trimmed down to clip 2 since I was 20, i'm 32 next week. I still have hair on my head but I know eventually I'm going to go bald (runs in my family) so might as well stick with the shaved head. It really is buyer beware with meds and surgeries because both have side effects and imo isn't really worth the long term complications that might occur.

I'd rather get a wig, one of my uncles has one and I swear you can't even tell that he's wearing one but he did spend quite a bit money on it.

There's Proscar which are tiny tablets you take daily. They work the same as Rogaine bout are more expensive.

Same here, minus the hat part. I can't pull off the shaved look (did it once a couple years ago for a halloween costume) and hats bug my head. :okay:

proscar, stops hair loss. plus proscar being originally for prostate (normal dosage) is covered by group (employer) benefits

rogain promotes hair growth.

not the same thing....

Rogaine will regrow hair but will not restore receding hair line. It's mainly used to regrow hair on the crown.

They are expensive, but ebay sell 3 months supply for like $40.

I used it for a month now and I can say there is improvement. I'm not applying it daily though, maybe like once every 2 - 3 day for 1 time a day.

I also notice my desire for sex has decreased. But once I stop using it for several days, my hormone rages and get iron steel boners.

Rumors about man boobs and small dick are most likely false because ingredient in Rogaine has no proven link to your genital parts.
