Balding Blog

This is a recent comment from my post back in 2005: https://baldingblog.com/2005/12/01/hair-club-for-men/

I wore the hair club wig with the front french lace for 10 yrs. It works well if you learn how to maintain it and use the blue tape up front and hard glue in back. Your head needs to be dry when applied. Put the tape on the wig first and then roll hair piece onto scalp. You can swim etc for about 2 days in it. Every two days the front needs a retape. Use 90% alcohol to clean and retape. Do this with it still glued to the head in back. This can go on for a month like that.

It is great for the club and nights out. Nobody will know you have it on if done right.

People at work will eventually figure out it is a wig at some point. There are too many prying eyes in the bright light. Use a style that covers all the hairline for best results. Watch your color match and use bright light to test it out.

All in all, a good choice when done right and bad otherwise. Now in my mid fifties I don’t wear anymore. I just use a No 1 cut all over except the top. Definitely not as attractive as a man with nice hair though now.

I’m already losing hair anyway. I have no issues committing to a hair system for the rest of my life especially with how good they look and how nice it’s been having one

Everyone makes choices. A hair transplant is complete freedom from worrying about your hair or going to the wig salon every two or three weeks for the rest of your life, plus, a hair system in a 7 year period is more expensive than a hair transplant and the costs go on and on. good luck!

So I went to the dermatologist after my barber noticed a bald spot on my crown. He didn’t seem to really care (as he was bald) but he wrote me a prescription for finasteride and minoxidil. However, my wife and I are about to have our first child and we want to have another one. She’s taking a strong stance on me not starting finasteride until we have our second kid. She’s worried about fertility. Is it worth starting on minoxidil then getting on finasteride in a couple years? I’m worried I won’t stick to minoxidil twice a day since I work shifts so it makes it really tough to apply.

You can use minoxidil once a day at night after a hot shower and leave it on until morning. That works and it is less of a headache.

When I see an SMP like this, I must assume that this man wanted this look and found someone to do it for him because I can’t imagine any professional would do this voluntarily. I wouldn’t do it if I were asked, not for any money!

Had a question about my hairline and widows peak. My mom has three brothers. Two have normal straight hairlines and one has a widows peak. My mom also has a widows peak. Her other sister does not. My moms mom does not have a widows peak but my moms dad does.

On the opposite side my dad or grandfather does not have a widows peak. My moms brother who has a widows peak has a good hairline for 60. Much like my moms father up until he passed away at 40. Is it safe to say im following there pattern for hair given my widows peak?

The widow’s peak is a remnant of the juvenile’s hairline which means that the hair around it (when you were a child) disappeared leaving the point called the Widow’s peak. I would suspect that you might follow this pattern as well

If the doctor or his staff were not using a microscope, they would have missed the extra hairs in this graft, possibly killing it by cutting it out rather than leaving it in the graft when the hair transplant was done. This is probably a new anagen hair developing.

Ive had a bald patch on the left side of my head since birth. It has decreased in size over the years but my doctor has said it will never fully grow hair. I was wondering what caused this and what other alternatives there are.

I cannot tell you why you have a bald patch that you were born with, but think of it like a birth mark. It is what it is.

In most cases, the easy solution to this is with a small hair transplant to the area.
