Eat lots of soy. Testosterone is the enemy of hair.

Dunno, my balding progressed about an inch then stopped by itself.

Dude, I thought it was just me. Mine moved about 1/2" in college around 20, and then has barely budged for 15 years. I'm not sure what pattern that is, but I guess I'm lucky.

Allow me to powerlevel a bit.

I've known I was gonna be bald since I was a teenager. I wasn't balding that young, but you could tell it was gonna go that way eventually, both from my hair being very thin and from, uh, looking at my dad.

So when I finished high school, I wore it long like the metalhead I was for as long as I could, almost a decade. Then I had a regular-ass haircut for a couple years, and decided to just shave it all off one day.
Spent another decade in utter baldness. I've made the joke that I look like Tomar from OneyPlays (don't be fooled by my Cory picture), just sudaca rather than kike.

Then one day earlier this year I realized I had been too busy to shave for almost a month, so I decided to let it grow, see how bad the situation was.
And it wasn't as bad as I'd expected. Yes, balding, but not terminal, like. And I found I liked how I looked with hair more than how I looked bald, so I kept it.

And GOD DAMN if it didn't start getting worse REAL FAST. I'm starting to reach COMB OVER TERRITORY and I don't like it.

During my shaved years I'd heard about these fibers that you'd sprinkle on your remaining hair and it sort of disguises the situation, and I always thought "If I ever let it grow again, I'll try that".
So I did.

It's not great. Yeah it kinda works, but I think there's a very small window of combined hair length and baldness level in which it works well, and I'm past that. Most videos I've seen of guys trying it on have their hair too short for it to be convincing.
In my experience it doesn't fall off with wind or sweat or a light drizzle, so under normal conditions you won't get a dark sweat thing going on or "weird dark dust" falling off your head, but if it's harder rain or someone touches your hair, it'll become apparent.
Seems less embarrassing than a wig, but still not a solution.

Beyond that, I feel if someone uses it seriously, it'll become a crutch, they'll depend on it, while also feeling constantly worried about it being noticeable or something. Double the insecurity and anxiety.

And I have zero intentions of getting hair plugs or taking drugs like finasteride that'll fuck up my liver or whatever else. And FUCK that idea of tattooing hair on. Jesus.

I'll shave it all off again any day now when I feel like it.
The only regret is my kid doesn't want me to.
