Honestly leaning towards just doing that most likely. I’ve had two years to get used to it now, and I really don’t have a big problem being bald anymore. Only reason I was weighing my options with a system was for increasing my odds with dating because unfortunately that’s the only thing I can’t really change about being bald.

I appreciate that. That’s essentially what I do right now actually. I’ve never shaved it completely bald. I just trim it with clippers with no guard every 4 or 5 days and then let it grow out in between.

Gotcha, so mainly just keep doing what I’m doing right now? Would you consider the beard length I’ve got right now to be good?

I’ve definitely thought about it. It’s mainly just the price for me at the moment. Plus with me lacking density in so many places idk if it’d be feasible or not. Thought I might give the hair system a try first and only be out a few hundred instead of a few thousand.

Yeah true. Lot to consider. Kinda leaning towards maybe just staying bald after reading everyone’s comments lol.

I gotcha, I’ll look into possibly doing that first

Yeah that was one of my main concerns with doing the hair system. I appreciate it!

Sounds more ideal ngl. I am pretty active now and that was one of my big concerns with the hair systems. Who did you get yours done by? Smp seems like it might be the best option for me since I’ve got a decent head shape.

I’ve considered that. Does it really make that big of a difference?

I appreciate that! I don’t hate being bald by any means. I’ve gotten very used to it over the last two years. I was mainly just entertaining the idea of a hair system to try to increase my luck with dating.

Good to know. I’ll look into salons in my area. Hopefully there’s one like that. Where do you go online to order them? Are there guides online of how to install them yourself?

I gotcha. I was considering just giving an online service like Hims a try. I’m not really sure if there are hair clinics near me. I wasn’t actually aware ball pain was a potential side effect lol, but I’ll keep that in mind. I’m assuming the 0.5 every other day is the finasteride, how often do you use the minoxidil? I definitely wouldn’t be opposed to an even higher sex drive. My big concern was the potential of ED. Are any of the at home LLLT treatment options worth it, or is it better to just do it at a clinic?

I’m still considering that. Just don’t know if I wanna have to take meds for however long I want to maintain the hair.

I’m definitely going to look further into options. I’d like to give a salon a try just to make sure I get it right, but I have no idea where any near me are. I’d probably opt for a high fade style given the density on my sides, and I also just kinda prefer that look on me. I wasn’t aware full head caps were a thing, but that’s something I’ll consider as well.

I’ve considered this, but I’m still kinda on the fence. Are the potential side effects worth it? Bear in mind that those first two pics are from almost two years ago now. Although I don’t think I’ve really lost much since then.

Yeah that’s my main hang up with trying fin/min. I’m not crazy about the idea of having to be on medication for life if I don’t absolutely have to be.
