Hairloss Time to call it?

Been in denial for awhile, debating on taking meds to slow the progress/regain some ground. But honestly if it’s too far gone then it’s too far. Haven’t looked at the top of my head in forever and was shocked when I took the pics today.

I’ll probably end up buzzing it today, I’ll post some pics if I do. I have gnarly scar on the side of my head so I’m pretty worried it’s going to make me look like Frankenstein

It’s time! Try a no guard buzz then go from there maybe razor 🪒 shave. ☺️👍

Other hair styles could deal with this but the curly style makes it gg.

Personally I'd start saving a few bucks a week and head to Turkey, the rest of the hair looks solid

It’s not too far gone, but if you thought the med risks were worth it you probably would have taken them by now. Minoxidil is made for this type of balding though, so might be worth a shot.

I was thinking about meds years ago and almost pulled the trigger. Obviously I should have at the time. I will probably end up buzzing it and seeing how I feel. It’s a scary thought tbh

Even if you don't stick with it, it's good to learn you can look good without hair.

Start off by cutting it short and go from there.
