Oh hell...

Post Reply New Topic

I'm looking at all the other men in my family, & it's just sudden;y hit me...
I'm prolly going to start losing my hair in years to come
I've already noticed some very slight thinning and i'm only 19.
This kinda scares me .

They've pretty much already got a cure for cancer in the works:
a combination of nanoparticles (delivery agent for RNA-interference. Can be injected into the bloodstream), RNA-interference (silences the gene that enables cancerous cells to multiply), & taxol (a particular chemo drug proven up to 10,000 times more effective when combined with RNA-interference)
proven effective against cancerous human tissue samples
they just haven't run through all the necessary testing to start on actual whole people yet.

so why hasn't anyone come up with a cure for something as common these days as hair-loss ?

Perhaps because it's not a deadly disease?

I believe hair loss is inherited from your mother's side - so if they're maternal uncles/grandfathers/male cousins you could be onto something.

well, my dad & paternal grandfather have hair loss

& so does my maternal uncle. I'm not sure about my maternal grandfather however. He died before i was even born while my mom was even still young.

but anyways, i've read research about that too. & there are some studies that suggest that it being inherited from the mom's side is a myth & that it probably can come from either side.

*shrug* Neither is blindness necessarily, or a number of other medical problems they've already come up with solutions for .

Are you serious?

There are apparently hair loss threatments which seems to work like a flash, but the only problem is that it costs a hell of alot of money unless you really want to spend that much but there are also some nautral products that should help reduce hair loss.

Other alternatives, you can try a wig or something like that.

The advantage of hair loss is that you don't have to get asked for ID when it does start to kick in.

Oh, sure

they can cure blindness these days with corneal transplants

& more recently with stem cells.
Which by the way can be produced ethically these days
because due to advances in science, we can make them artificially from any normal cells.

I'm kind of a techno twit so I can't upload a sexy picture of Patrick Stewart (playing Jean Luc Picard of Star Trek Next Generation).

I also can't upload Gene Hackmans photo as the greatest criminal mastermind of all time - Lex Luther (I think he won best supporting actor for that role). He may have been playing a bad guy - but ooh la la...

Then there is the late great Yul Brenner (King and I and that sexy gunfighter in the Magnificent Seven - and West World...) Hubba Hubba!!

Of course Kojak was a cutie too.

Anyways, google any of these handsome men and don't worry about hair. There are some sexy bald men out there and hair would just get in the way!! !

Oh Yul Brenner - Shall We Dance indeed!! !

wait, wait! all those people with white canes can just toss them away, now, there is a cure for blindness! Can the deaf be far behind? I don't think he is being serious, actually.

Don't sweat it, dude. My hair loss at 18 or 19 was barely noticeable. By 23, it was a noticeable spot. By 25, GONE, BABY, GONE! lol

I'd be a prime candidate for transplanting because except for the very top of my head, I still have insanely thick hair and I've never liked getting haircuts.

Don't worry about it at all, though. If you want, get a head start on it (no pun intended) and buy some clippers. Chicks LOVE bald dudes. I used to have a list of famous bald guys that I'd take out and read to make myself feel better. I think it was like: Kojak, Bruce Willis, Michael Jordan, Patrick Stewart (makes my woman hot), Samuel L. Jackson. I've even given thought to doing the whole Kojak thing, complete with shades (I wear glasses anyway) and lollipop.

Hair is overrated. Trust me on this! Skin is IN, baby!

Why not try something like propecia before it gets too bad?

Don't resort to baldness unless the hair loss treatments don't work for you.. but they are out there.

actually, with propecia & rogaine both, they're only effective on hair loss on the crown of the head apparently. they does nothing for frontal.

& really, i just have a very slight thinning right now. Like slight as in only i, & whoever regularly cuts my hair, would probably notice at this point.

& i've actually had my head shaved head before, wasn't particularly attractive

no, actually i was serious ...

that's sad

Man, if they made a cure for male pattern baldness, that'd be one thing I'd never touch.

Superficial drivel.
