Cretinously credulous
And let no one else tell you any different. Yes if you've lost a lot of hair and its clearly visible, then sometimes its better to just go full bald. But its never better than having a thick, full mane. Brushing your hand through it and just playing with and feeling of thick carpet on your head is a great feeling.
Now now, before everyone accuses me of bragging, its not about me....exactly.
I started losing hair around 8 years back. For close to one or two years, I knew I would lose my hair. It was horrible. I was afraid of shamppoing too hard cause I would then lose what seemed like millions of hair. Would have to comb my hair very carefully. I was sure that in a few years I would be completely bald. And even worse was the fact that specific hairstyles made me look really good and I knew after a while I wont be able to style my hair that way. I was 24, in my prime. Had started gyming and styling properly and for the first time I was getting a lot of attention from the opposite sex. I was dating different women and life was good. But I knew it wont last long.
Then I thought I had nothing to lose by trying a few meds. So I started rogaine. Thankfully I hadnt lost as much hair to be really visible. Guys, rogaine really helped. I would say I got some hair back too. I also took Finasteride, though in very small doses (1/4th of a tablet every 3 days etc). I think that helped too (side note- its been 5-6 years and thankfully I havent had the dreaded side effects).
I wont say that I dont lose hair. I still lose about 20 a day. Sometimes its more suddenly (and that scares the hell out of me), especially after summer and in winter. But usually that spell goes away after a month or so. I have been able to keep the same hair since past 8 years I would say, give or take.
Coming back to the thick part. So sometimes my hair is super thick and voluminous. Specially the next day of shampoo. And its a great feeling. When I am not losing hair and am not afraid of rummaging through it, I keep doing that the whole day.
But then there are days (maybe a couple of months a year) when I again start losing suddenly and am afraid of messing with it. Those days suck. I start feeling I am going bald again and what not. Thankfully they dont last all that long usually and I am back to playing with them.
So, in summary, yeah this thread is weird. But I just wanted to share that work on your hair as soon as you feel you might be losing it. After a few years its too late. And the medicines do work. And I would almost always prefer full thick head of hair than going bald. Thats all!
