Discussions About Being Bald > Advantages and Disadvantages to being Bald
It doesn't seem like a solution. It seems like a trade.

This subforum is called "advantages and disadvantages to being bald", and so I think that on here people should take a balanced view and make hair loss sufferers aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the various options that are available. I'd have to say that I personally find it hard to understand the mentality on this website. Sure, shaving your head bald due to hair loss is better than sporting a grown out horseshoe, but better still is if you'd never lost your hair to begin with. In my opinion, virtually everyone looks better with a head of hair than without. I think that if a guy has half a chance of holding on to his head of hair by using a proven treatment that's available, it would be a pity for him not to if I'm going to be honest.

Apparently shaving your head is not for you that’s understandable. But as was mentioned by one of the members many have tried other methods and meds and were not happy with the results. So all where saying is maybe shaving may work for them. Is that so hard to understand ? Fortunately most members find it a good option , certainly not everyone. If a person wants to try other methods first they should , where not saying our way is the only way.

You are entitled to your opinion. I'm not sure what is so hard to understand about "the mentality" of this site. There are people out there who like being bald. We like the look and feel of being bald. Perhaps we don't want to take medications for the rest of our lives or perhaps the medications have either been ineffective or have caused side effects. Some of us have decided that there are more important aspects to our lives than worrying about our hairlines. I'm sure there are other reasons, but it is our opinion and our choice. None of that should be hard to understand.
If you don't feel this is the right forum for you, you are not being forced to participate.

In my experience, all solutions are a trade of some kind. All of them.

Hi, I'm no longer 26 but at 26 years old my crown was totally bald I had a 4 inch circle in the back of my head I refer to it as my Bullseye when I would go and have a haircut I have them blend my hair up at the 0 guard into the crown and the sides and keep one length on top my basic theory was out of sight out of mind well then some Ten Years Later I started thinning on top I thought I dodged the bullet but I had not I never tried Rogaine or Propecia I was waiting for an actual cure; since hair loss is a 3 billion dollar a year industry currently I don't suspect that there will ever actually be a cure because it's not financially sound so about three and a half months ago I shaved my head not because I wanted to I did in response to reading things on the internet it was hard not shaving it I've been in the military shave my head many times but I always knew my hair would grow back the way it was when I shaved it well if it did that now I would not be happy because obviously that's why I shaved it off but for me the benefits are my grandson gets a ride on my shoulders and I don't have to worry about him knocking off my hair system somehow I don't have to put any protective layer on my hair system when I go to bed so I don't damage it because it's cost so much money and today my grandson got sidewalk chalk and Drew on my head you're a young man you will probably have children if you don't at least maybe don't miss out on photographs and swimming and your children drawing on your head with sidewalk chalk because being bald is hard to deal with you're not really bald you're like me you have more hair than you don't have this is a hairstyle choice I wear it because I think it looks good and actually everyone that I know tells me without being solicited that I look younger and at peace which is something I hadn't looked in years and years, so I understand embracing is hard to do no matter your age really my father was 87 when he died with a full head of hair and I do mean full with a hairline of a 20 year old so life isn't fair but I wouldn't trade this experience for really in a sum of money because I've learned so much about myself so all I can tell you is love yourself be positive and everyone else will love you and for those that don't they really don't matter because there's many more that will it took me awhile to get this point actually it took me about 3 months you will start forget that you ever had hair and wonder why you ever cared so good luck and I really do wish you the best
