Month: January 2023

So just a quick question Parents both have full heads of hair and only 1 great grandfather died bald. I lead a pretty sedentary lifestyle and am probably even on the obese side. Does any of this have an effect on hair? I’ve been for a couple months now and it wasn’t until today that it finally started to affect my hairline. Fullness is basically gone. Will working out help?

The scalp has a very rich blood flow. Hair loss is not caused by inadequate blood flow. Hair loss is genetic. As the hair is lost, the body diverts the blood away from the hair as the hair volume reduces. We know this because when we put hair transplants into a bald area that had reduced its blood supply, the blood supply returns proportional to the hair we put back in.

Just say that a cure was found, I am 100000000% sure that you’ll be only able to get it done in a professional environment (like PRP), also unless its patent drops it’ll be ridiculiously expensive (I think at least 300 bucks a month at best). Richer people will be cured, having hair will be a financial statement. Us, the middle class-lower class balders will be received even worse by the population.

AS PRP doesn’t work predictably, you are not losing out. Microneedling with minoxidil works as good if not better than PRP and it is far less expensive, see here: https://baldingblog.com/go-looking-prp-used-hair-transplant-good-thing/

There is no doubt that personalities change with balding, and when I do a hair transplant, they often change for the better radically. I see that in many celebrities I have done. They feel that the hair transplant not only changed their appearance but changed their effectiveness in their acting careers.

Back when I had hair girls used to flirt with me and tell me how good looking I was. Now women see the bald head and don’t give me a second glance. It’s as if their minds are seeing my head and picturing their children with me coming out bald with a Norwood 6. Before I didn’t have to say more than 3 words to get a woman interested in me, but it takes so much effort now.

Society has always discriminated against men with balding. It goes back over 2000 years when tuberculosis was running rampant producing balding men because they were sickly. That set up a connection between balding on one side with a sickly man, and a healthy vibrant hairy man on the other side. So the norm has been propelled for centuries and it is somehow ingrained in our culture. Men wore wigs or hats to hide their balding so women wouldn’t be able to tell. Met wore top hats in the late 1800 and early 1900s. Today we wear baseball caps. We are still victims of this culturally, unfortunately.

Do you think that drinking alcohol could be a factor (if not significant factor) in male hair loss? I am a senior at a major east coast university that is known for its student body’s tendency to drink alcohol. I started to make an observation that a lot of the people that I know that have drank heavily for the past couple of years (they are now approx. age 21-23) have some degree of noticeable hair loss compared to the people who were more moderate with their drinking. I myself used to drink fairly heavily for about a year in college and ever since I slowed down I have noticed that my hair has begun to grow back thicker (perhaps because lowered my alcohol consumption) although the hair I have lost has not grown back yet, if at all Another example of this would be if you were to take a look at any major “party” fraternity at XYZ College. Of course course the older brothers are going to look more aged/mature than their younger counterparts, however in my experience I started to notice that the a decent amount of the older brothers in the major “party” frats at my school definitely show a greater degree of hair loss than some of the other same aged males at my school who were not known to go out and drink every weekend.

If alcohol can be a significant factor in hair loss at a young age is it possible that it served as a catalyst to speed up the balding process since these people may have been genetically disposed to experience hair loss at some point in their lives?

Drinking alcohol doesn’t cause hair loss but stress does and many people with genetic hair loss who drink are stressed.

It doesn’t. If you only lose “some” of your hair, doesn’t mean you won’t lose anymore. Just means your hair loss hasn’t advanced to that point yet.

Of course it exists. I have a mature hairline and had balding in my crown which I treated with a hair transplant so now I am just a normal hairy guy.
