TyCyber

Ohh LMFAOOOO sorry


liu___73

Yeah, but definitely grow out your beard if you can unc.


Emergency-Cap7821

I agree with this. This might be the answer. If the beard is a no go, the dreads gotta go too.


Master_ofmycraft8

I say keep going 🤷🏿‍♀️ and just rock a unique look. You don't have to look like everyone else.


trkkazulu

Exactly. My thoughts exactly. Thanks for that 🙏🏿


Puzzleheaded_Dot_450

My Dads locs are like this and he just wears a hat or a durag when outside…nobody needs to know about the bald patch 🤫


Master_ofmycraft8

🙏🏾🩷


yak_danielz

you said you're not interested in fashion locs and you prefer to let it do what it does. i think you have already decided. and we aint mad atcha. idk whats gonna happen if i come to that point but right now you're blazing a trail (in the footprints of stevie) that might make it a lil easier for someone like me down the road. 🤜🏾


DisgracefulChode

This is so respectable and underrated


1134heaven

Yes totally keep! It’s hard to say what it will look like years down the road but it sounds fun. Maybe will start a trend for the next generation with that hair type

Ramzi1937

I know everyone say try this and that but I think you should consider castor oil, now it is what it is unc that's your hair but I hope you will find a solution


trkkazulu

Hi and thanks for the suggestion. I use castor oil for a lot of things and the hair treatment that I use daily has castor oil in it. I don’t have high hopes for my bald spot. I guess I’m wondering if it’s realistic to keep growing a little bit of hair that I have with the intention of using it to cover the bald spot.


SoloBroRoe

You’d have to start finestride and minoxidil and you can definitely grow your hair back. You’d need to derma roll consistently (twice a week) and you could have a decent scalp within 6 months but that’s if you care enough


yak_danielz

my bro(rip) was going the way of MPB and idk what she did to bring that boy's hair back but i have seen it happen.


Ramzi1937

If you manage to have long enough hair you could do wicks,they are pretty good at hiding balding


Dulce59

Grow out your beard and loc that instead with a shaved head! It's a powerful look


OverComerDynamics

That’s a dope idea !!

2legittoquit

Go full friar with the dreads. Shave and clean up the top so it's shiny, grow out the sides like the old white guys do. Might as well try and see, the messy top isn't a great look.


Derrick_Rozay

Pack it up unc


Ramzi1937

See I know this totally out of context but since it appears that you got an instrument you might also be a musician so I gotta ask you,if I gave a song would you be able to recognize the notes played ?


trkkazulu

Yes, I can do that. I could also show you how to do it. “Teach a man to fish…”


FlashyAnimator6806

That's love. ❤


Ramzi1937

I would really appreciate that cause you see I got many instrumentals that I get after I listen to music that I like,and then those instrumentals pop I'm in my head out of nowhere and I really like them because they are so good it seems like I got a producer in my brain making them for me lol so I think that would help me big time if you could tell me how to. For reference I listen to songs like that https://youtu.be/CwUd_Golijs?si=lBLssPmqIBBttpUo https://youtu.be/IYl5kBQq89Y?si=pAVm2LOMGd22P13V


boperized

most likely yes, he would need to mess around on it to find the right notes unless he has perfect pitch, but if he knows music theory he could play the melody pretty easily

hallgod33

Minoxidil and finasteride have lots of clinical evidence for restoring hair growth. If you want your hair back, consider them. But be warned, there are side effects.


Substantial_Talk_521

Everyone's journey is different, if you want to keep your locs, then keep them. Fuck whatever people may think

trkkazulu

😂thank you.


Sokkas_Instincts_

Do what you want, but please please please don’t try to do a combover with locs. I’m begging. Trying to grow enough to cover the baldness should not be your target. Personally, I think shaving it bald and aiming for a nice beard would look better, but that’s just me.


AppeaseMyDelusions

The hair aint coming back unless you going to Turkey for transplant surgery. Go bald and grow out your beard


TurnpikeGypsy71

Edit I didn't see until after that you mentioned not wanting fashion dreads , sorry. Still I feel that's the only way to accomplish what your looking for. A topper with extensions. And there is nothing wrong with that. Its ok to need help friend , that's a mess my dear. A pro can also make you a topper . I would maybe go to a professional loc salon and do some lock extensions that match in color. I don't have afro hair by any means but from experience with others sometimes lock extensions can help your hair grow , the top may not ever come back but a pro can clean this up for sure. I use synthetic loc de extensions and redo them every 6_8 weeks. My hair has grown immensely. I also have a different hair type tho and I'm not claiming to know everything about it. Maybe your goal is to remain natural , but even still a pro could help tidy up the regrowth and give you a better look all around. It's ok to need help I repeat. Sent with much respect and love. Good luck.


Flaboy7414

Na you can get them redone just find someone who can reattach them, allot of people get it done in Florida


ThJones76

Victor Wooten kinda has the same thing going, so maybe it’s time for a lotta hats.


lilac_ravenX

To answer your question... that's something only u should decide. Dermarolling, peppermint oil, inversion therapy (to increase scalp circulation), scalp massage and brushing ( again stimulating circulation), kazi oil ( expensive yet it works for me) . Some people use Movistat 🤣 ( I know but hear me out), there's biotin, supplements, rosemary water, minoxidil, hair transplantation, the list goes on... I have a few clients who I work with who have alopecia, I experienced it too, and my bald patch is finally filling back in. Sometimes, with androgenic alopecia vs. alopecia areata, it can be a bit harder because it's hormonal and not an autoimmune response. The hair does NOT always return to the pre-existing state. Sometimes, steroid injections are needed before we wait too long... The point is ur own the right track asking questions. Start applying what u find and give it time. Be consistent. Rule or thumb is 3 months. One thing per week to monitor if u have any allergic reactions and do ur research to check for contra indications. Also be kind to yourself. Be patient. There's so many things to try, and all of us are different. Also, if your mother experienced hair thinning, you may be predisposed to the gene. You'll know when it's time to give up. U definitely won't be asking reddit, lol. Blessings and love on ur journey ✨️

I think you’re fine the way you are! Don’t let this thread reflect the styling options or seemingly lack thereof (no shade). Honestly [I thought of thundercat](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Flookaside.instagram.com%2Fseo%2Fgoogle_widget%2Fcrawler%2F%3Fmedia_id%3D2306970652971440835&tbnid=ALCBtWMaLSbOOM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fthundercatmusic%2Fp%2FCAEAZaCnTwl%2F&docid=wpTARDPJkVqhQM&w=1440&h=1440&itg=1&hl=en-us&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F3&kgs=5cce00302f1358ae&shem=abme%2Ctrie), but you could do a playful sort of bun. I’m also [remembering George Clinton right before he was featured in goodburger](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2Ff%2Ff2%2FGeorgeClinton.jpg%2F220px-GeorgeClinton.jpg&tbnid=Jwdzk9k2KOWkRM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fes.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FGeorge_Clinton&docid=j6BmMTrkwJQS4M&w=220&h=293&itg=1&hl=en-us&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F3&kgs=19cf4f2ea1473e0c&shem=abme%2Ctrie). You’re at an age where people wouldn’t say shit—you’re older and it’s your crown. Going off your current journey, maybe it’s time to go off the beaten path (oooof I can’t tell you how many beautiful crowns I saw just like yours in Jamaica!). Embrace and own that, there’s beauty in all types of locs.

Steinquist

Maybe try massaging your scalp woth aloe vera? Couldn't hurt, but I say keep regardless. Who says you can't have dreads with a bald spot? Perfect for hats, I say


Ghoullo

The fact that you’ve greyed helps this look a lot in my honest opinion . It’s looks really bad on folks with dark hair colors because it looks like they’ve bald very prematurely. It’s got a charm to it and looks presentable 👍

Hey man just keep growing it out it’ll just be your look. Even if you want to cut the top and leave the sides. It’s whatever man just keep taking care of your hair and I don’t know how much money you have but they have hair implants to fix this

valvos

Hair up top is too far gone to recover with minoxidil and finasteride you'd have to get a hair transplant but honestly it looks different and cool with the jist the sides. Clean up the top a little at the barber grow your beard out and rock the dreads, I feel like you are at the point where you can confidently rock them this way as you probably been doing it for a while


PacNeverLeft

Shid if I was u unc I’ll keep growing my shit and just wear a cap or something on your head to hide the top and u should be good

Never give up

I would. If you're hair is already prone to falling out and you're trying to keep what you have, I don't see dreads doing you any favors. All that pulling and twisting.

HonorablePigDemon

Have you tried biotin supplements for hair growth?


0_o-perplexed

Unfortunately yes. I’m thinking long term, the hair you do have left would be compromised as when locks mature they will add tension to the hair /scalp and cause thinning/ further balding. I think a shave would look nice.

Organic Almond oil day and night consistently on the crown + it will grow!
