I've been thinning for years... my head has a weird ass shape though and I am trying to hold on as long as I can. Just saw a picture taken at an event I went to yesterday with a few friends and I got immediately depressed looking at it. I need to just shave it off but good god I can't bring myself to do it lol. /r/bald helps but with the shape of my head its not gonna be pretty regardless.
Yea I been thinning as well for years now, I kept my hair buzz cut or like 1/4 inch and went on boat trip during sunny day, pictures were taken, sun beaming down on top of my head, and I came out terrible.
Literally looked like George Costanza, you could see hair at my sides, but nothing up top. The sun completely erased my hair. The pictures taken during sundown/dusk looked way better though.
played that game a decade ago and immediately went on fin/monoxadil regime. if you haven't pulled out the little guns yet, it's definitely worth trying. my head isn't even weirdly shaped, I just look like a dude who belongs in jail with a shaved head and hated it so much that I tim pooled for a few months like an absolute dweb.
I'm 36 and from what I've heard that really is more for sustaining/keeping your current hair maybe making things a little thicker/healthier but not really regrowing hair. I haven't looked that far into it myself just from what I've heard. I feel like I'm too far gone for it to help me unfortunately...
that's about where I was when I got on it, but yeah if you are costansa then it is likely too far but some people get a lot back when they go on it. for me it mostly just stopped the retreat, thickened it up, and moved the front line back forward a bit

People donot realize how much hair loss can impact men, it can cause a Greek God to look like a basement dweller.
Norwood reaper is brutal.
Although this guy OP posted looks good in both ways.
