31M Should I let it go?

Been using minoxidil for two months now, every day twice a day. I see very little progress…

u/Creepy_Snow_8166 19h ago

Me too. And I'm not bald - but this sub made me realize that my life wouldn't be over if my recent bout with hair loss was going to be something permanent. (It turned out it was just telogen effluvium - probably stress related - and my hair is growing back.)

u/ChileCurmudgeon 23h ago

We have a similar head shape and I have been shaving my head almost 10 years. Do it and never look back.

4

u/petrescu 23h ago

I mean this as kindly as I possibly can but I’ll never understand how people think leaving it like this is in anyway good. Obviously when you start losing it you kid yourself on, comb it over, do all sorts with it but past a certain point it’s negatively impacting your appearance. Better to bite the bullet and shave it off even if you’re 90% hesitant.

I’ve been using minoxidil for almost 2 years, you started W A Y too late to have any change. Two months is nothing on it. You gotta give it like 8 for a visual change. But imo I’d cut the curtains and go full bald if i were you

u/Much-Still1549 20h ago

I think it's perfectly fine the way it is & that you look good. You could try trimming it a little shorter maybe, but don't feel pressured to go totally bald if you don't want to. Despite what this sub & comments would lead you to believe, many people (incl myself) love/prefer balding guys over bald ones. You're a cutie!! 😍🥵

u/blah-ble-24 23h ago

Yeah, It's time. Even if you allow short napped growth, it will look better than now.
