      The natural and historical hair care communities have solutions. I'm not balding at all but my hair has thinned out a lot (I'm a woman). I started doing onion juice treatments. Blender it up, whole onion and put it in a nut juice bag or sock and either massage the juice into your scalp or put the pulp on your head and wrap it up. Just browse Curly Proverbz channel for example. Tons of testimonials of new growth within days (obviously not a miracle though). I make tea out of fennel seeds..twice a week massage the tea into my scalp. Rinse or don't. I'm only two months in and my hair shedding stopped. I couldn't believe it. My issue was hormones and hard water. I also do oil treatments once a week with whatever oil is in my kitchen. I also tried castor oil. I wanted to see clearly if it worked so I put it on my lashes and brows at night. After maybe two weeks I had to pluck my eyebrows. I previously had perfectly shaped ones that didn't need attention. I stopped applying it there and use it on my head.

      Same here, I used to have abnormally thick, dense hair and people were constantly comment/complimenting it, even though at the time it was the bane of my existence cause it was so unmanageable. My hair started rapidly thinning at age 24 and by 28 I lost more than half my hair, now my scalp constantly shows no matter what way I part it. I thought it was hard to deal with before but now I would give anything just not to have my scalp showing. I should also add that I have PCOS and apparently it's really common with PCOS to go bald like that, not that it makes it any better/easier :/

The day I shaved was the day I created my own self perception and won over my anxiety.

    i can TOTALLY relate. im going thru this right now. I've had long hair or have been in the process of growing my hair out my entire life. i shaved my head twice before and always felt like I had an identity crisis when I did it. I'm 45 and my hair is definitely thinning badly. I totally get the compliment and self-esteem factors you spoke of. I really don't want to shave it off again because I know that's the last time it'll ever be long. 🙁

      I know I'm a complete stranger but this really sounds just like my fiance hes had long hair all his life and it's been thinning for awhile (still beautiful to me tho)however, hes been afraid itll never grow long again and that's how hes felt comfortable his entire life. what you just said he literally said a few days ago and just surprised me reading your comment.

      If yr not ready to shave down then just shave the sides and keep the top long or shaved sides and short top both look good 👍

      Mine started falling out in my early 20’s. Count your blessings you had it as long as you did. But we all know how it feels. Once it’s gone you don’t miss it as much as you think you would.

      Like dude before me said count your blessings. You had yours into your early 40s. Imagine loosing it when you need your looks the most.

    I love this partly because someone could watch this 100 years from now and be going through the exact thing.

    Thank you so much for sharing this. I appreciate how difficult it must have been. One thing I can promise you is that many women absolutely find bald men attractive. What's really alluring is confidence and self acceptance. When you're comfortable with yourself then other people will be comfortable with you. You could think of this as a blessing. Going through hair loss and all of the introspection and self evaluation at such a young age has given you emotional wisdom way ahead of your peers. And women will definitely appreciate that. And professionally, bald is not uncommon in metal either. In fact, it's really cool.🤘😎🤘

    That looks so much better. The smile on his face when he realised it looked ok was priceless.
