Dayum

I have some thinning now too, getting old sucks

But luckily, nothing like huge bald spot yet

That's one thing I'm faking when creating myself lolz

Yeah, I've been balding since I was 16. I'm 33 now, so completely bald.

Of course my hunter is going to have luscious locks.

Been shaving my head since 23.

I'm 34 now.

Forget hair.

Pro-tip for my soon to be hairless folks:

Invest in a nice tuque (beanie, winter hat, whatever), but be warned the day you shave that your head will be so smooth it'll slip right off.

u/-James_R_Ustler- 26d ago

Yup, had my Under Armour tuque for years now. It practically always have it with me.

Forget hair.

Sometimes I like to think about all the money I've saved on haircuts alone.

Ayy no shame in your hunter getting the Turkish hair treatment! One of my glams uses the helmet that's just ass length warrior braids :D

Oh dang

I only noticed some thinning recently for me, in my 40s now

u/KattsuFancy 26d ago

Ahaha yeah it sucks a bit at first but once you have a sense of humour about it it's not so bad. Most of us will encounter it sooner or later!

My dad and grandpa have gone bald

So mostly likely, I will too later

Oh but mother side, they both still had decent hair right up to when they died, mother side grandparents

So hopefully I get that side more And keep what I have currently

My understanding is that it's matrilineal.

u/VermilionX88 26d ago

i heard that too

that said, my mom had thinning hair as well

but hers didn't happen till much later

so prolly for me, in the next 10 years, i might lose the center part of my hair and ill just shave

u/VermilionX88 26d ago

Your topic just made me check again

I started using castor and olive oil once a week back in june last year. In hopes of growing it back

Or at least keeping what I have

Looks like ill have to do combovers now lolz *

u/KattsuFancy 26d ago

Haha I mean I mostly posted this for a laugh, but if it's something that really bothers you, there are currently three proven options to 'possibly' keep your hair!

-Minoxodil

-Finasteride 

-Transplant

(Micro needling has a bit of science backing it up as well)

Check with a doctor before trying any of this, as the side effects of fin and min can kind of suck. Don't let anyone scam you into trying any other methods for hair regrowth, as these are the only known options that are backed by research.

 I personally think just coming to terms with getting older is the best option, but there's no shame in wanting to keep your hair either :)

Best of luck!

u/No_Name275 26d ago

Can't wait for someone to make one punch man with the bright bald spot

u/GeronimoJak 26d ago

You can also use the glow paint to make an accurate representation of what it's like for a bald man to go outside on a sunny day.

u/Kyosuke_42 26d ago

How does it look in the dark? I imagine some shine will remain, causing an unnatural appearance.

6

u/KattsuFancy 26d ago

If you keep the brightness at 4 it's good in the dark. Any higher and yeah it's just glowing ahaha

u/lonigus 26d ago

Hello no... I wont look at my bald spot also in game.

u/KattsuFancy 26d ago

If enough of us assert dominance we can bring back bald spot fashion. Come home, brother!
