Do you really think there would be any bald men in Hollywood if indeed there were a hair loss solution?


This.
30-35% of men are bald by their 30s. Probably none of them would be if there was an actual solution.
Only transplants work, and that only works if there is enough donor hair, such as with male pattern rather than crown balding or horseshoe balding.


This is…. not true. Both minoxidil and finasteride are effective. Why men don’t all use it, I have no idea. But they have FDA approvals for hair loss for a reason.


And you either are clueless, or stand to profit from those drugs that do great harm.


My husband has been on these drugs 6 years and the only side effect is that he doesn’t have hair loss like his dad did at the same age/like he was starting to.

Very confusing; I have no idea what you are trying to communicate. Please restate in a more clear manner, Thank you.


What language would you prefer? Guessing you are not an English speaker by birth?
It's very simple math. Percentages or fractions if you prefer. With 40% loss, you could still transplant some and get minor coverage. If have 50% loss, then you'd just be transplanting to the bald spot and creating new bald spots.

I had a friend in high school who was going bald by senior year. But he has an awesome wife and kids so going bald young didn't hold him back.

Doesn't work. Turns your boy into a girl with weak joints.

Is that what you and he wants?

Totally false. Where did you learn this?


You are either clueless or a shill liar pushing the product.

Hair loss was one of the things I noticed before my kid was diagnosed with T1D. She lost a lot of hair at first, actually, from the stress her body was under.

Started growing back after a few months of getting insulin.

PP here that said you need to not catastrophize. Adults who had alopecia as kids notes that if parents desperately seek medical treatment, the message the kids receive is that they are “broken” without hair. So, be very careful with your messaging.

This is a good possible answer. Get him checked out medically, explore your options but DONOT catastrophize this. My son has alopecia. He’s been totally bald since second grade. The treatment options for his auto-immune condition are not appealing and while there were some tough times, by MS, he rocked his bald head with total confidence. He has no interest in treatments that increase his risk for lymphoma or severe infections. Risk that might make sense for some, but not if your kid is happy despite being different than most.


+1. I knew a guy with alopecia in high school. He embraced it and it worked great for him.
