    Good on you, sorta jealous of the Patrick Stewart dome. I've got a big fuckin head so I opted for the medicine method to hold onto my hair for as long as possible. I use one of those online services which is 100x better than seeing a dermatologist. It seems to be working.

      I was thinking about hopping on finasteride, but I realized it wasnt worth taking a hormone changing drug at a young age. I'm 20 now and still think its too young, and my hair will prob be long gone by 25 so I'm just chilling looking like Mr Clean

        I first started it around 20/21 and I wish I stayed on it tbh. For me, the hormonal changes weren't noticeable, I was just always moving and tired of seeing apathetic dermatologists who'd sometimes prescribe me expensive namebrand shit.

        The only one of those dumb mail order subscription services I actually like is keeps because I sent a picture of my scalp a couple years ago when I was around 23/24 and I get it sent to me in the mail every three months along with the generic rogain. My hairloss basically slowed to a crawl. Its not coming back but I'm happy with where it is. I've always worn my hair long and I'd look like Oscar Bluth if I let it continue.

        I have always really enjoyed having long hair though. Its not a vanity thing so much as I genuinely enjoy and appreciate having hair. I'm married, I don't need to date.

        Its a different situation for everyone though and I sometimes wish I could rock a shaved head but I'm also thankful I got on the Fin/rogain when I did.

          I would actually kill to have long hair again. My hairline is very receded and never coming back tho. I hope wig technology gets better when I'm older because I dont really care about having short hair, I just rather be unabashedly bald or have long flowing hair

            I used to cut my hair about once a year but at this point I haven't had a haircut in over 3 years and I'm having so much fun with it. It's yet to get annoying for me.
