Re: Researchers find stem cells for hair regeneration
#2I'm overlooking the "teeth" part of this story to share a bit of an anecdote here. I'm a guy, and I lost my hair when I was about 21. I spent a while trying every medication (many of which have sexual health side effects), but I don't think I was ever actually happy until I just accepted that I was bald and that was just part of how I looked. Don't get me wrong — I would love having hair again, but it doesn't bother me that I don't.
If it helps anyone else out there: no one else thinks about your hair besides you. Getting rid of my anxiety around how my hair looked (checking it in the mirror all the time, using products to make it look less thin, etc) was absolutely worth giving up any illusion that my hair was going to stick around. Plus, it has made putting on sweaters so much easier, and I never have to worry about helmet hair.
If you're reading this post with a touch of anxiety about your hair, just know that it's gonna be fine and you probably look cool as hell (albeit a bit different) with a buzz cut.

One of my female roommates had a thing for chrome. I don't think she's the only female to have that interest. Shave it all off and rock it. :)

#4Can we get a cure for graying hair too (restore melanocyte function)? ;)
Btw, dry ice can be used to make patches of hair permanently white (selectively kills melanocytes).

There are so many good bald looks these days. Even just shaving your entire dome looks pretty awesome.
I’ve never had a “hah that guy’s bald” moment. But I’ve had many, “damn, kinda jealous of that style...” moments.

To expand on that, my favorite quote (from Eleanor Roosevelt, who seems to have been quite quotable...):
"You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do."
I totally agree. People are almost 100% caught up in themselves, and barely have time to think about their own family, much less friends, acquaintances, and last of all strangers.

+1, it can’t be said enough.
Worrying about losing your hair is a significantly worse condition than actually losing your hair. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

I mean, kinda. Sure, nobody is probably stressing about how many centimeters your scalp is receding, but you can bet lots of people will be more attracted to someone who looks young with a full head of hair compared to someone who has typical male pattern baldness. Just google "male hair restoration before and after" for some examples, and tell me you don't think there's a stark difference to most examples.
I do agree, though, fortunately it's become socially acceptable to shave your head and that can be seen as a sign of attractiveness (though I still think this cartoon is pretty accurate: https://i.imgur.com/IMmmP8A.gif)

yes same. I accepted it and moved on in my 30s. Now i like my buzzed look, i think i look better than ever.
I think bladness needs an equivalent of 'fat acceptance'. When somone is in their 20's. Its hard to accept your lower value as a potential mate for something that's totally out of their control.
