I was watching tv a lil bit  ago and I seen this stuff ...I forget what it was called...but you only have to apply it once.  Something new they  are offering to the general public now.  It showed this guy 3 weeks later and he had maybe a little bit thicker hair...but you could still see his scalp thru it.  Hell I could achieve the same thing wiht a can of flat black spray paint....lol

No for me too.

I too would prefer a cure for hair...not baldness.

I may be the odd man, but yes, I would go for it.  There would have to be no side effects or surgery.

Please don't kick me out of the club.

I think the clue is in the subject you have chosen for this thread.  You use the word "cure" as if baldness is a disease.  This is an indication to me that the "hair replacement industry" or maybe society in general has been successful in guiding you along this line of thought.  There is no cure necessary if there is no disease. 

As others have mentioned, many of us have been successful in changing our thinking and our attitudes toward the way we are, and have embraced our individuality to the maximum.   The quest to grow hair on a bald head is not a "cure", it is merely a treatment for vanity, which in most cases with the current state of technology is merely a way to get unfortunate people to pay for their insecurity.

nope... I would prefer a product that actually took hair off permanently. When I had a full head of hair I kept it buzzed down to a #1 anyway.

Give me something that will remove the hair from my neck, back, chest, head, face, etc. and THAT I would be into.

Marz is my man!

Dude, and no disrespect...but have you read a lot of the posts here before you wrote this....there are actually dudes that WANT a totally bald head...by their choice 100%, and yea some are very young, I include myself in that group (not the young, but the BBC)....a bald head is a very cool look....

I've chosen to live my life slick bald for the last 13 years and have LOVED every minute of it and have found it to be the one most empowering things a person can do for them selves....

so sign me up for that "Mr. Clean" product Marz spoke of...

hair (most anywhere) just isn't for me bro...and I WILL keep it that way for my time on this earth!

I'm w/ ZZAAPP.  I've been meaning to sound off about this "cure" crap for some time.  The word implies illness, deformity, congenital issues, but MPB isn't any of these.  Genetically, for MPB, it's in the genes and I think of it as evidence of evolution in that we with MPB are examples of the evolution of man and we're just further evolved genetically than the guys w/ full heads of hair.  I think my view is supported by a common convention in science fiction of bald alien "people" who are from advanced civilizations.  That convention is a way for the general public to live with its shared understanding of MPB as an example of genetic development--not illness or deformity, without an open admission.  They can't have a "cure" w/o a problem.  Let's not support this depraved view and let's strike the "c" word from our vocabularies regarding our gleaming domes.  I along w/ most of the members of this forum w/ MPB have elected to get "ahead" of the game by shaving our heads, it's our statement and if those w/ a closer genetic relationship to apes and monkeys than we have don't like it, lump it :x!, but don't say the c word (and I appreciate the BBC crowd for emulating what is for us, natural.)
Would I engage in changing evolution?  Not a chance, I'm here by the grace of God, and here I shall remain w/o drugs, rugs or plugs.

I'll get off my soapbox now.  Thanks guys for letting me vent!

WELL SAID BOTH ZZAAPP AND SAINTC.
I never really gave this angle thought, but as everything nowadays appears to be associated with some type of condition that can be cured with a pill, I just took this thread for granted.

I'm with Marz on this one. I would rather remove the hair than get it back. And to echo Marshd, I would rather shave my head than my face. It's way more enjoyable to scrape the dome free. I've said this in other posts and I'll say it again; my stubble or shadow tells me I'll be shaving again in the next day or two. Which I always look forward to. 

Saintc and zzaapp had it right too, It's not a disease!.

There is only one cure for hairloss, it was invented by a Frenchman, it is called the Guillotine.
