I keep hoping it'll come any day now.... Yeah there's no hope for millennials, maybe next generation will get a cure

I know nothing about building rockets, but they look like relatively simple devices (obviously figuring out the details to control it properly is not easy), biology is more of a mystery... for now

I once remember someone saying that so many rich men being bald put their money in perspective, like there are many obvious problems money can't solve.
(I know transplant is a thing, but it's not really a proper solution to the problem, it doesn't work well on all cases)

There is a cure, it's called embracing your shiny dome while said men land on theirs. If you look at it like that you're almost like an astronaut of baldness.

Grow a goatee or beard. If you go bald and you're clean shaven it looks...I dunno but just look at Kratos or Walter White or Jason Statham.

We haven't landed a man on the moon since 1972 (and never once a woman). Kinda funny how "putting a man on the Moon" is such a milestone of technological progress when its last instance was 46 years ago...

Well, we know what causes MPB and how to prevent it, the issue is that once the follicle is dead, its dead. There's no bringing it back.

Is this true though? I mean, that's what I thought as well, but I saw this video on Vox that said the follicles generally aren't dead, they're just dormant and can't grow by themselves after a while. But they can be stimulated into growing again.

Then again, it was a Vox video, so...

We're just meant to be bald. Can't fight nature. It always finds a way...

DHT cuts off blood flow to the follicles, which causes them to go dormant for a while, but they will ultimately die completely if there is no medical intervention. It's why it's important to be proactive; finasteride and minoxidil can reverse recent hair loss with great success because the follicles are simply dormant, but if the hair has been gone for several years, then it's likely gone for good.

Rogaine and nizoral brought my hair back, I was thinning out a bit on top now shit is back to 100.

I avoided finasteride up until this point and haven't needed it, will use if I start to thin out again.

Nor can everyone actually get ripped. Lots of people don't have the genetics for that kind of build.
The vast majority of people can get big and ripped with the right diet and training program. It just takes a lot of time and effort. The only thing that differs is stuff like insertions which doesn't mean much to anyone aside from the most obsessive aesthetic bodybuilders.

My hair is thin, I have a bald spot but in my 30s I get laid way more than I did ever when I was single and in the best shape of my life. I'd love to have my hair back, but I'll take the sex instead.

I wish I knew what it was like to be able to gain weight or tone. My body hasn't been able to accumulate mass of any kind in about 15 years. 135 is pretty much my weight cap, so once my hair is gone my body is pretty much fucked.

I started early balding in my early 20's. It's pretty unbelievable. I'm 32 and have a bald spot on the back of my head, but still have hair in the front so it doesn't seem too bad. It shocked me when I learned I had this as early as 23 too...I never knew back then.

Yep. I used to see a dermatologist for my hair back when I was a more frequent actor than I am now, and he kept trying to write me prescriptions for 1mg finasteride. It was like $300 a goddamn bottle. The 5mg trick is so much more manageable.

Speaking of which, nothing is more ironic than a bald dermatologist trying to argue that hair loss isn't something to worry about.

You can get the 1mg generic now. It is much cheaper.

Have you checked to see if you have a medical condition affecting you? If not, you likely can gain weight with a controlled diet and training program. It'd take a few weeks to figure out what kind of maintenance calories you have, and the right macro-breakdown, but it's certainly doable if there no are underlying conditions. It's just that until you do it the right way, you'll never know whether you can achieve the results.

I've been tested - it's not a thyroid condition or anything. I just don't gain weight. No matter what I eat, no matter how much I eat. It's real "fun".

If you tell me some details over PM, I'll give you a meal plan. No exercise for now, but just a diet plan to assess you over 4 weeks to figure out certain things. If there's no underlying condition, I'm sure I can make you gain in a healthy manner with the right training program afterward. You can trust me as I am an adonis who makes most athletes look like scrubs.

The real technique of treating hair loss is painfully simple, and a secret the hair loss treatment industry has been hiding from you for decades.

1. Not giving a fuck about losing your hair.
2. Profit

Seriously, it's that simple. Give it a try. I'm losing hair and couldn't give a toss. It's just strands of protein oozing out of your scalp.

Who cares about being bald? Someone of you are way too attached to your strands of 95% dead cellular matter dangling off your heads.

I look hawt as a baldy.

Go to sam's club. It's like 12 dollars for 90 day supply there if you have the premium membership($100 per year)

Edit: or the above if you have a doc that will prescribe in that form

I might consider the Sam's club idea, but yeah, trying to get a doctor to prescribe me 5mg finasteride, which I think is prescribed for prostate issues and wading into a whole "prescribe me this even though I'm not gonna use it in this way" conversation is something I've not really been trying to do with my doctor.

Big hat works tirelessly to ensure the cure for hair loss remains hidden. Without balding middle age men, billions of caps would end up as landfill.
