I'm sick of these people telling others people just accept it and shave it up. Most people look better with hair, losing your hair is a drastic change, for most people it takes years to cope with it and if someone want to go to treatment it's ok.

This is literally what body positivity should be about. Not supporting people dying from diabetes in their 30s.

Preach on. If I’m going to lose any part of my body I’ve had for the majority of my lifetime it’ll be by my own choice thank you very much.

This, especially if it is early onset. I had a friend who lost most of his hair by the time he was 20 and it absolutely destroyed his confidence for many years

I've always held the position that the further back my hair recedes the shorter i will cut it.

what I discovered was, this means I spend MORE on haircuts. because shorter haircuts require more frequent haircuts to maintain their neat look.

I'm pretty much at a point now that I'm just going to buy one of those head shavers to run over my head every morning. If it can work for Picard i can make it work for me.

I agree. The more the balding, worse a longer hair looks.

Totally agree. Most people DO look better with hair, not bald. Any tool that can visualize a non-bald person bald reveals how the person look may change from good to bad, and a lot of such persons are not that masculine or attractive when they're bald as they or anybody else might think. I could not cope with being bald, and the only thing that really helped me was FUE, nothing else. I'm really lucky to look younger than I might look in my 38, and I still have my hair on top of my head, not underneath being more attractive than having premature balding issues in 25-33.

Years to cope? I fully accepted it, as my father and my grand father. Fighting against nature seems pointless to me.

Fighting against nature is sort of the main activity of humans.

Also, don't project your own experience on others.

I have better things to fight against than hair loss.
