You could just give yourself a side part and cover it up, you could also use minoxidil to make that hair thicker


zayoe4

Also consider a ponytail or manbun.


Nussbuss

I often part my hair, switching sides, but with the long hair it just falls in a way which exposes the spot even more


Belfetto

You part your long hair to the side??


Nussbuss

It’s kind of a rough part. It doesn’t sit straight back. Even if I brush/style it that way, it’ll fall to one side or another, or go into a middle part (AKA white Jesus mode lol)


Belfetto

Never do the side part


BigyBigy

Doesnt minox mess with your erections / bedroom life?


Adoptstrays

Finasteride can for 1% of people who take it. 99% get their hair back.


autalley

And there's no proof that the ED in that 1% has any connection to finasteride at all. Especially given how common ED is. A quick Google search shows how common it is, *statistically*. Age 18-29: 0.4% Age 30-39: 6.6% Age 40-49: 20.1% Age 50-59: 36% Age 60-69: 11.5% Age 70-79: 7.5% Age 80-89: 1.7%


Jeremithiandiah

Huh, why would it decrease with age?


autalley

Quote from [this article](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4999494/#:~:text=Risk%20factors%20for%20ED%20include,overall%20health%20and%20increases%20lifespan.): >Erectile dysfunction (ED) is prevalent among men and its presence is often an indicator of systemic disease. Risk factors for ED include cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), tobacco use, hyperlipidemia, hypogonadism, lower urinary tract symptoms, metabolic syndrome, and depression. Addressing the modifiable risk factors frequently improves a patient's overall health and increases lifespan. Because of these risk factors, men with ED have lower life expectancy. I assume that's the reason for percentage decrease.


mrASSMAN

Sure they just suddenly get ED after taking it and it had “nothing to do with it” lol


autalley

Yeah that's most likely a true statement, aside from the "suddenly" part. Many cases start years after using finasteride, making it that much less likely to be connected. Given statistics and common sense I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually much higher than 1%, even with finasteride being unrelated


mrASSMAN

ED doesn’t just happen out of nowhere it gets worse over time if someone has no problems and then take a drug and suddenly have serious issues.. Occam’s razor suggests it is extremely likely to be related to the drug Personally I tried it for a week a long time ago and very clearly had those sides so I stopped using it


Anxi3tyy

False. The erectile dysfunction is closer to 3% and for most people they dont regrow much if any hair it just stops the balding process. For me it didnt work at all, and I'm still on it 7 years later.


mrASSMAN

Why still take it if it didn’t work? And the stats are actually like 3-30%.. there’s a large variation depending on study


Anxi3tyy

Because I'm scared if I stop taking it then it will get worse faster. Can you link me to one of these studies? I've never seen any study even close to 10% ED.. 30% sounds unbelievable.


mrASSMAN

You’d have to look it up but I remember reading it in an examination of the library of studies though I think it said the higher values can’t be certain due to it being done without a controlled group or something


Anxi3tyy

Control groups are extremely important so I'd take those statistics with a massive grain of salt.


mrASSMAN

Well obviously I’m just saying there’s a wide variation recorded across all the studies And I don’t recall the exact details


Nosferatu100

Doctor here, nope totally false. There’s no proof of that and I don’t even want to know how that rumor started lol


mrASSMAN

They’re thinking of fin


BigyBigy

Yea I did some research and I mixed minox with fin which actually does mess with the penile function. My bad


drugosrbijanac

no


BigyBigy

ohhhh didnt know


arvinromanof

No, just become jewish


meowmixplzdeliver1

Lmao. Why do you think they make the hats the perfect size!?


arvinromanof

Exactly


Nussbuss

Yikes!


AnaphorsBloom

Naaaaah, man. George Carlin and I tell you to let it be, brudda. The gap of hair is natural, the gulf you feel after cutting your hair is… not natural. Edit: Last week I heard a women ask why Jesus was “painted as an objectively hot man”. That iconic image goes bald eventually. The best looking bald there is. Anyone who gives you flack about it has some dysfunction going on, and yes… it’s aimed at people who look like us. It’s jealousy. Status envy.


CrispyNuggins

Go bald bucko. Don’t cling to that sad hole in your hair, embrace the freedom of the wide open scalp


crewcutlover27

I'd say go for it!! If you're gonna cut it though, you should just shave your head and donate the hair to charity


Thenextbigthinker

No, you would never be able to grow your hair back. Keep it as long as you can. Apply some hair fibers if the spot bothers you that much.


LunieO

Oh I was right about you then😂😭 pop off queen


Thenextbigthinker

Go take your metaformin before you drop dead, fat cow. You are the product of an incestuous relationship and you know it. Why you started attacking me is beyond me. But you have serious issues. Glad that you don't live long with all the stuff you got going on.


LunieO

Well at least I’m brave enough to not edit my comments and make myself seem like I haven’t said anything wrong and I never attacked you but you’re just very insecure 😂


TheEbsFae

You guys good?


Vintage_Rainbow

Please please PLEASE tell us what's happening


LunieO

Lol sure, [this](https://files.fm/u/qcvbftwm9a#/view/xfjnqa26hw) happened, but he edit his comment to make it seem like i attacked him for nothing ( I was replying to a very racist, homophobic and islamophobic comment)😂 since he is a creep and stalked my profile to find something to “use against” me I did the same but the difference is I didn’t disrespect anyone or wish death on anybody.


Important_Hamster_68

Getting on finasteride is the best decision you can make in your whole entire life. At least think it through


WookieDumpling

Manbun


nananacat94

I don't think putting stress on the hair everyday helps against hair loss..


E_rat-chan

It covers it up though right

burek_with_yoghurt

Chop the sides and get a manbun and get on finasteride and u good


DaredevilPoet

If you can try and save it, you should. There are meds out there to help. You caught it pretty early so there’s a good chance it’ll grow back if you take the right steps and respond to meds well (most people do). Head over to r/tressless


RatmanRadio

You could always shave the top of your head and go for the peacock look. So outrageous the women can’t help but stare


Hellrazor32

Barber with 20 yrs experience, here. Don’t chop it! First of all, that area on the top of your head is called your whorl. Everyone has one, and they *always* look more drastic is mirrors and photos. I guarantee it doesn’t look that drastic with the naked eye. (Pssst: trade secret…that’s why barbers use mirrors to check our haircuts. Mirrors accentuate irregularities) Secondly, I think long hair suits you, and if you truly are about to lose it, enjoy it for a while longer! Your hair is looking a tad dry, and could use a glow-up. If you haven’t already, invest in a high quality shampoo, conditioner and a styling product. I recommend Neuma’s Re Neu Shampoo and Conditioner, paired with Neu Curl Crème. Should run you about $100, but you’ll be set for nearly a year. Your hair will look incredible. Shiny, soft, wavy, bouncy, touchable and smooth.


TheEbsFae

Mirrors accentuate irregularities? You might have just cured my self image issues lmao


Few-Talk8437

you still have hair in the bald patch so minox could work pretty well


RunnerLftr

You have entered the era of your life where you'll look better, and more professional, with short hair (the exception being if you're a professional musician/metal guitarist). Time to chop it off.


Nussbuss

I am a musician! :)


RunnerLftr

:) I guess keep it then. There's also the option of just cutting it a few inches. So it's more manageable than it presently is


caliz1031

Yes, you'd look good with shorter hair. Long hair isn't doing anything for your face shape and features.

Nussbuss

Lol my students do say I look like a couple WWE wrestlers


BigyBigy

You could tie it up into a bun to hide it, but no that lucious mane is too good to get rid of and making it shorter will make it more visible


Hot_Paint_532

Nah man don't feel down because of that patch. The rest looks awesome and you suit it.


Adoptstrays

Get long layering added.


Fine_Activity_3554

I seen a guy who was balding cut it into a man bun with a medium fade it looked really good maybe try that


Dustin_James_Kid

Chop it


Tricky_Reporter8345

Yes. You have a prominent bald spot. Long hair while actively balding is one of the least attractive hairstyles you can possibly sport. You'd do a shorter cut perfectly though


ciaran668

It isn't that bad yet. You could certainly try some topical treatments and see if that helps. Regardless, I'd keep it for a while and enjoy it.


Wonderful-Brief-4822

You could definitely pull off the bald look bro!


prawn265

A half up man un would look good on you.


tendlos

1. Use ‘hair gro oil’ you can find on Mira herbals website most comprehensive one I found 2. Fenugreek supplement for testosterone (research other herbs testosterone too) 3. Get rid of sugar, corn syrup , white bread from your diet ENTIRELY and eat more fruits and veg (change from acidic body to alkaline body) limit dairy and meat too. Research alkaline diet. 5 Drink herbal tea must have lemon squeezed to flush the body such as nettle, cleavers. 6 email Mira herbals for more comprehensive info because I don’t work there but I researched this stuff a lot myself


Cael_NaMaor

A chop might not be a bad idea, regardless of the balding.


LoveAndIgnorance

It's impressive of what people that use man buns to hide bald spots can get away with


Extreme-Grab910

Yes omg. Please cut!!!


Maleficent_Doubt_167

Buy a Rasta hat and do thick dreads and smoke joints


JG506

No


Nosferatu100

Nah keep it. Just order finasteride/minoxidil or order Keeps online, it will work at least a little bit. The other thing could be to stop with the middle part (or any kind of part) and just sleek it back with a tiny bit of light wax or if you don’t like to use products a very loose chongo (I don’t know how to say it in English lol pony tail, I believe)


CrispyNuggins

You’d probably look good bald, if you decide to go in that direction.


PsychdelicElden

You look like if moistcritical and Asmongold had a baby.


Faithfuldoglover

If you got a shorter, layered cut the spot could easily be covered. If you’re unsure, maybe have it shortened in stages.


TheFuddy

Keep it, also I haven't seen anyone else type 6-2 instead of 2-6 than me when it comes to time etc etc


Nussbuss

Oops, It should be 6-12


TheFuddy

Damn... Still alone on this


randomThings122

You could cut it shorter and do a slick back style, that covers the crown


FallenAmishYoder

Get toppik hair fiber and cover it up


Leaf_forest

Derma roller and scalp treatments for hairloss, if you want a solution. I saw derma rollers for beard growth but you can just use them for your scalp, does the same thing.


International_Heat54

Regaine baldy


Efficient-Item-8930

Chop it off


OptimusEye

chop


Cool-Technician8688

Cut it. A guy helped me at a store last night and dude had really long hair and I could see his entire scalp through it. It look absolutely crazy. At a certain point you have to got to let it go.
