Any products to cure Bandless

    Hi, I was wondering if there are any products for sale that actually cures or help baldness effectively. The real deal, if it exist, besides shaving the head or wearing a toupee.

    Embrace it mate, embrace the baldness ;-). I had a full head of hair 2 yrs ago and I've learned nobody gives a fcuk in fact its quite unique.

    I am one of those lads you meet that is still lucky enough to be enjoying a full head of hair, though I'm definitely in the wrong end of my 30s.

    I've a few mates who have lost their hair (literally) and IMO some of them look the better for it.

    The caffeine shampoo you see in the chemists at like 478€ a bottle obviously doesn't cure baldness (or even prevent it) despite what the manufacturers would have you believe, otherwise it would literally be flying off shelves, and i don't see much evidence that it is. I just see evidence of it being a very overpriced gimmick..


    Anyway, if she's going light up there, keep her closely shaved, a tight haircut draws the emphasis away from the chrome some. Go full shaven if needs must.

    Most lads carry the close cut look fairly well. Much better than the comb overs, and sudden hat fetish some lads seem to embrace when the waves are saying goodbye.

    My 3 older brothers are bald as cue balls.
    I noticed that my own hair was starting to thin on top the same way the other 3 lads did. I started to use a shampoo pretty much straight away.
    Now I'm not going to proclaim I have a full thick head of hair, a bit thinner around the crown.....but I attribute the use of the shampoos to the slowing down of the balding process.
    I also don't use the 70 euro shampoo either, I think it costs about €5 for a large bottle.

    So its not going to cure baldness, but helps slow it down in my case.

    I hear that a lot of people are going to Turkey now for hair plugs, apparently cheap as chips to get done there.

    A good floor polish makes a bald head more attractive.

    I have pretty bad thyroid problems which when I was in the height of it caused me to lose a lot of my hair. Now luckily I was never bald or anywhere near it, but my hair was very thin. I take headhigh caps (from boots) and I've had lots of growth. I'm not sure how it would work on baldness but you could try?
    Also castor oil is fantastic for hairloss, it's one ingredient in a lot of treatments for alopecia. You could try massaging a little into your scalp?

    There's treatments/programmes you can start in hairdressers nioxin I think it's called?

    Again I've no experience with actual baldness so this post may be completely irrelevant

    Do men get more and more bald though? From what I can see male pattern baldness is just the pattern that a man is going to develop when they hit maturity. It seems that whatever pattern you develop in your mid twenties is more or less the one you have until you're much older.

    Trying to fight it is like trying to wash your feet to change the freckles on your legs.

    When my aunt was young she decided to cut somebodies hair who was about to make their Communion(I think) it didn't go according to plan so she rubbed black shoe polish on the bald patches!

    If there was an effective quick cheap treatment then there would be no bald people in the world. Hair transplants are cheap in eastern europe and other non western nations. Stubble tattoos seem to be getting popular, where tattoo mimics the look of a shaved head with no bald patches.
    Then theres the anti balding drugs such as finasteride though the effects arent certain to work for you and side effects seem to be pretty common and pretty unbearable in many cases.

    Maybe it's time for these to come back into fashion:

    ...Or maybe genetically you were to lose your hair at a different rate to your brothers anyway and the fact that you attribute this to a snake oil shampoo is just confirmation bias?

    I have a rock here that keeps bears away if you're interested? I've had it a few years and have yet to be attacked. ;)

    That's a theory alright, but I'm going with my snake oil shampoo theory, it's a comfort blanket for me.

    How big is the rock?
    Is it all types of bear?
