I think this shows, more than ever, that we aren't all the same. Some guys DO care about going bald and don't want to shave their heads (a look I personally hate unless you have a handsome head like Mark Strong) or have it extremely short, again which isn't for everyone. So while others may not care about going bald, or their partners being bald, and advise accordingly - the OP clearly does.

Well done for following through, OP and like others I hope it will turn out to be successful
Great post Abigail.

Rybed why did you feel so strongly about being bald?

Thanks Abigail
Driftaway updates: hair is there , the red patches on the front, where the new hair has been planted are still visible, but not too much. The donor area on the back still hurts but considering how many injections went in there, it's bearable.
Great! I'm very happy to read that.

I could write an essay on that subject but this phenomenon is best explained by my life guru Homer Simpson in the second episode of the second season "Simpson and Delilah"

Haha on a serious note I would genuinely like to know. I'm not bald or balding so don't mind... yet!

I don't know what to say...When I was in my 20's I was hoping it will last till at least when I'm 35. It lasted longer, but now I can't hope for the miracle, I had to do something about it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not good looking or cool in any way and having a hair won't improve my social or professional life in any way, but just by knowing it's there appears on my face.

Ok, I seem slightly ignorant to what you say but I'm glad you're smiling.

Any update on how things are going ?

What are other people's thoughts?

I'm 24, I've always had long hair and I've always had quite a high hair line. Looking at pictures from when I was 17/18 my hair has been pretty much the same although it's started to thin. I could never shave my hair off it just would not suit me at all but the long'ish swept fringe is looking bad being all thin as its not covering up my hair line any more.

I think about it every day, I hate how I look, if I pass a mirror I will look away and it's all because of my hair. I look so much better when I have a hat on and I feel more confident, when I take a picture I purposely never get above my eyebrows in and I always get asked why.

I don't think my hair is receding really although slightly thinking at the front. The rest of my hair is fine and thick including my crown. Grandparents have decent heads of hair still.

All I can think about is having the FUE type transplant although I don't know how to bring it up in conversation with relatives/work colleagues. I don't want them to know really and if they didn't notice the swelling for a few weeks there is a chance it wouldn't be noticed too much as the hairline would grow in naturally. Once it's there I have no issue with them knowing.

I generally feel that it puts my confidence down, I struggle to talk to females because of it, my pictures on social media are not a true reflection of what I look like as I chose not to have my hair on pictures.

I am making it sound worse than it actually is, after a wash and styled it look fine as it covers my hair line but as the day passes and it becomes more 'greasy' should I say it becomes more noticeable and just gets me down.

I'm not depressed if the post sounds it, I've never talked about it or posted it anywhere before. I have good friends etc but I just think I'd be a totally different person if I was to have this done.

Call the Belgravia Centre in London and discuss their pharmaceutical treatments first.

May I ask where you went and how much ?

There are a couple of things you could try out first that are cheaper such as having your hair professionally styled to make the presentational best of the hair that you have (and get tips/training on keeping that way) and you could combine that with the use of caffeine and hair thickener shampoos etc.

I would suggest not bringing this matter up with work colleagues but go seek the advice of a professional trichologist instead. Good luck!
