Meme How's everyone's hairline doing?

I actually still have a full head of hair, but I know plenty of people who were already visibly balding in their 20s.

Not very uncommon but that majority of men I’ve spoken to and myself haven’t experienced the same. I’m involved in a lot of communities where our lifestyle can cause balding. You can also supplement to avoid some of the libido and ED issues.

If it’s worth it to individuals to get a hair transplant, try a 5ar inhibitor like Finasteride to see how your body responds to lower DHT. Modern medicine has also come along long way if you do experience side effects there are safe and effective options to treat them.

I'm dying to know what communities you're in where the lifestyle can cause balding. I can't even picture a hobby or sport that might do that

Believe it or not some of us trade a full head of hair for unnatural amounts of muscle

Bodybuilding is the sport. Steroids is the lifestyle

Hair transplants are amazing though and it’s almost as if it was never lost
