depends on your look really, if you have a decent skull shape you might pull it off, if you dont think it will suit you perhaps look in to things that can reverse the hair loss maybe, if supplements don't work im sure there is less extreme measures available than going to turky for a hair transplant
its a problem that can be fixed, look at elon mulk

Who cares. There's a star Trek quote i liked:
> A reporter once asked Gene Roddenberry about Captain Picard's baldness, "Surely they would have cured baldness by the 24th century," Roddenberry countered, "In the 24th century, they wouldn't care."
Man, stop looking at that shit. Most women in my experience dont really give a shit about it if you’re in good shape, and have at least a serviceable facial structure/definition. Fat and bald looks awful. If you’re fat you better have decent hair. Another thing that helps is some facial hair even if it’s just a clean cut goatee to break up the face a bit. If you’re fat, you need to lose weight. Weather bald or not, but if bald, it makes an even bigger difference IMHO. The women in my life tend to agree.
i don't know man, my skull shape is weird. slopes up from forehead to crown and then kind of slopes down sharply at the back. triangle-ah lookin' head u/#topkek

I started shaving about a month back. I wasn't fully bald, but my hair was a bit thin and a small bald spot on the back, but still a full hairline, it was easy to mask with hair fibres. So I looked like I had a thick full head of hair.
However, after shaving, I definitely prefer it. Got a good skull shape and young attractive women still openly flirt with me, so I can't look that bad.
I'd buzz and see how it looks. If you like it, great. If not, it'll grow back.
There's also minoxdil and fin/dutastride. Minoxdil helped me for about a year and then stopped working. I got dead dick on fin and stopped it. If you can tolerate the sides these may restore some of your hair.

my back and sides are full but exact crown, middle and forehead-hairline are yeeting themselves. i can't run my fingers through my hair, let's just say.

this is some risky bizniz man, i hate to do it but ill go see my gp
thanks for your time man. did you feel at all awkward after going breezy egg?
If you have decent facial hair and structure, and aren’t fat, just get one of the skull shavers I posted earlier, and call it day. Don’t start poisoning yourself with all that dumb shit fren. I’m promise you, once you do it for a month or two, there’s no going back.

It's possible to reverse balding with scalp massages and microneedling. Look it up on YouTube and you'll find a ton of people claiming it's helped them. Otherwise, I'd just shave it to a stubble if you have a decent skull shape.
If you’re tall you can pull off the comb over for a long time with most people not realizing/noticing. Once the comb over is just pulling over a few strands it’s time to just shave.
With the new cheap tech out there now, there is absolutely no reason not to go full Statham. Greatest thing I’ve ever done was buy one of these.

I use it every other morning in the shower, and it keeps it super short. Just make sure to wet your head with some light soap, and the shaver glides over your head easily. It takes two minutes to do my entire head, and back of neck. With that said, I’ve never liked much hair on my head, and always kept it pretty short even when I still had a full head because of function over form. If you like working out, and being outside a lot in the heat doing shit, it’s a God send to have a shaved head IMHO. It’s so easy to wipe sweat off, and “clean up” in a pinch all throughout the day. I live in the south, so I love keeping certain areas clear of hair for this very reason. Head, pits, and crotch all look the same. Enjoy the TMI. 😎
Edit: I forgot to add, it’s nice not to have to go somewhere, and depend on anyone else to cut your hair, and it’s a hell of a lot cheaper too. Even if I still had a full head of hair, I’m 99% sure I’d still shave it now. It’s just too easy, and enjoyable.
The only negatives I can say are you have to keep a hat with you just in case you end up in the sun for an extended period of time, and/or something to cover your head if you end up somewhere where they keep it very cold. I usually keep at least some type of ball cap/ skull cap with me to slip over my head. Beanies are great in the winter of course.
he does the chores without complaining and he is bald!
thanks for all the input bro, i read all your comments and looked up the twizzie. ill still have a chat with my gp and see if i can do something via dermatology or endocrinology and if that ain't helping i'll capitulate to the E G G.
I’ve been cutting my hair shorter and shorter to prepare for this very decision. I’ll be shaving. I also don’t care that much so I’ll probably shave like once every couple weeks or so. Shits natural, so fuckit
Take finasteride at 0.5 mg a day. Up the dose by 0.25mg until you get to 1mg a day if hairloss persists after 2-3 weeks after upping the dose each time. If after you've upped the dose to 1mg you do not see results you'll need to use dutasteride and you'll need to check in with an andrologist for it since it is prescription only. Another guy said micro needling which is good in combination with 5% minoxidil until hair is replenished.
Do not let your hair fall. It will become increasingly more difficult and invasive to reverse hairloss after you've lost it. Bald men are not respected in any capacity in today's world and the cope you'll look like some actor or fake wrestler after you go all in with a shaved head is mind-blowingly stupid. The crushing majority of men look atrocious bald.
Some dude said that you can have a hair transplant. Goes to show how uneducated people are so confident to comment on a topic they know nothing about. Even if you have a hair transplant, the operating doctor will still put you on finasteride or dutasteride to stop your hairline from receding. You can avoid the transplant altogether for as low as £10/month for the next 10 to 20 years.
It is the only way to stop hair loss. No matter who you consult, they'll tell you the same. Check on bald and lookism forums online and see what will happen if you lose your hair.
