Title: Making Yourself Go Bald
Post by: philosophist on December 03, 2018, 09:42:41 PM

So this is going to be an unusual one here, but I haven't been able to find any information despite searching the web for weeks now.

I have a full head of hair, and for reasons that I'm not going to get into here, I'd like to accelerate any potential male pattern baldness. Is there any "technique" or tool to do that aside from shaving your head?

I'm curious to read your responses.

Ever since becoming an adult and leaving home I had wanted to go bald, I had short buzz and wanted it shorter than barber would do it.  Slowly i tweezed,  waxed hair towards MPB.  Later i had several sessions of electrolysis, until I was indeed MPB and approaching total baldness,  I fully shaved then at age 45 - that was long before it was common,

I am not suggesting you try it, but bodybuilders that abuse Testosterone supplements usually loose their hair.

There has been many discussions about laser hair removal. As long as your hair isn't grey, they can laser it off. But it's permanent!

Hormone treatment such as testosterone WILL have side effects

Thanks for the replies, guys! I definitely see waxing and tweezing as options, but testosterone definitely seems to be the way to go.

I can't seem to find good OTC testosterone supplements though.

Keep away from hormones , if you value your health. If you don’t require them for some deficiency , you would be making a big mistake taking them for baldness.

In the US, Testosterone is only available with a Doctor's prescription.  OTC supplements are not actually Testosterone.

Point taken. I do take fenugreek supplements (it helps keep my digestion regular) and they're supposed to natural testosterone stimulants anyway.  I guess it's gotta be waxing and/or tweezing if anything in order to keep my health.

with waxing and plucking hair will grow back but more more fragile and in time it does not. as others say stay away from hormone treatments.  they affect many areas of your body and become irreversible.,

One other option is  an Epilator. There is a whole site for guys making themselves male pattern bald intentionally and most use an Epilator. It is http://malepatternbaldbychoice.yooco.org/home.html   and at https://mpbbychoice2.yooco.org/
