>Finally exiting “The Awkward Stage” after a long 5 months

Any suggestions for a seamless heat protectant that won't fuck up hair texture but will protect from the sun and blow dryer

>>17498520
I use GHD Bodyguard. It smells good and has no alcohol

Thoughts? Been trying to do the messy middle part

I HAVE NOT SHAVED, NOR TRIMMED, MY PUBIC HAIR, NOR MY AXILÆ HAIR, IN, AT LEAST, SIX MONTHS; I INTEND TO LET THEM GROW FOR AN INDETERMINATE PERIOD, AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

Just finished a 6 month round of accutane. Left my hair dry and weak. Haven’t seen a barber in a long time either. Now I’m wondering if I risk a buzz or get some other cut. Also not sure about the beard.

>>17498588
Looks good imo

>>17498598
The beard looks awesome. Not sure if you should go full buzz yet since the hair suits the beard. Look into another cut.

>>17498609
Any suggestions on the cut?

>>17498611
Would something like Jude Law’s cut suit you?

>>17498494
t-the awkward stage is only supposed to be 5 months?????
t. 9 months

>>17498598
this looks like a woman taking testosterone.

>>17498704
9 months is a long time. What sort of hairstyle is your goal?

>>17498779
i dont know at this point really
i started with very short hair so i only have about 4 to 5 inches of growth from where it was shortest, maybe 6 inches in the longest spots where it wasnt so short
however as the months went by my hair eventually became curly, which was a huge fucking wrench in my plans because i wanted long straight hair
to compound upon these issues, my hair is also very fine and is also less curly towards the sides and back than it is in front
ive only gotten it trimmed once so now its like a weird curly-wavy-bowl-cut-mullet-thing (unlike a mullet, my hair in front covers part of my face and goes down to my philtrum when pulled straight, but otherwise curls and stops at about eye level, and i dont mind hair in my face (yet)) but the idea of cutting any of it is very antithetical for me
and its not like i can really show my stylist a picture because i havent found any styles i like
i kinda want something with a middle or side part but i dont know if my face shape supports that, and when it dries theres very little volume at the top compared to the sides so it just looks funny
however i have absolutely no motivation to shave it all off (plus i dont like how i looked with short hair), and at this point im desensitized to a bad hair day every day, so im just letting it grow and hoping something will come of it

>>17498823
Hang in there. The awkward stage is where 90% of people give up because it is so demoralising. See it through. But having an end hair goal is really paramount to forcing yourself to go through it.

What should I do with my hair/beard? Undercut with slight stubble? Bigger beard? Clean-shaven?
Am pretty /fit/ if that changes anything, could also try losing a few %bf (am 16-18% right now) to get sunken cheeks so clean-shaven looks better?

Thoughts on slicking hair back?

>>17499016
Depends on the person. I think darker hair looks better for slicked back, but if you CAN pull it off, it’s kino

>>17499013
You’ve got a nice jawline so I don’t think a beard is necessary. As for the hair it’s hard to say, I think grow it out definitley and sort of see where it takes you. Are there any haircuts you’ve got your eye on?

>>17499055
Something like this
Although I don't think I can pull it off, since I don't have dark hair

>>17499060
Maybe something like this? Or would you prefer something a bit shorter?

>>17499114
Yeah I guess something like that
Would it not look somewhat weird since his face isn't as wide as mine?

>>17499016
Metaphorically, spiritually and quite literally the opposite of soibrocolli haircut.

>>17499133
No I think it’d look good. In the pic you posted you look good with short sides, you just need a longer top. If you start now you could probably have this hair by July/August. I’d also recommend getting a haircut for the back and sides every one and a half months to look neat, but make sure you show them a photo and tell them you only want the back and sides trimmed, then they’ll style it for you once it’s cut. Maybe pick up a good quality shampoo and conditioner as well if you don’t have one already.

>>17499137
Amazing hair

>>17498588
Nice, suits you well

>>17499156
Thanks for the help brother
Is bar shampoo and conditioner good enough? Also how often should I shampoo+conditioner, I usually do it once a week or when it's too greasy/dirty

>>17499137
Strongly consider hair loss medication

>>17499187
Why would I take drugs to help me lose hair

>>17499198
Yeah you don't need any help with doing that

>>17499168
No worries dude
I’ve never used a bar shampoo and conditioner so I don’t know sorry, but as long as it’s free of any chemicals like parabens and alcohols (which I’m sure it would be) I think it’d be fine. As for how often, I’d say once every 3-4 days is good. Or whenever it feels like it needs it. You definitley don’t need to wash your hair daily though.

I haven't had a haircut in 8 months or so (similar length to what I have on top here in these old photos), not sure what to do. I think I look better but more boring with short hair.
Opinions?

>>17499211
Exactly, so the person recommending me hair loss drugs is stupid, waste of money I say.

Luke Wilson vs Tom Cruise

>>17499229

I don't think the difference is that drastic.

How do I style my hair like pic related? I looked up guides on YouTube and all I could find was shitty TikTok hair guides

>>17499346
>grow hair kinda long
>show picture to stylist (expensive, not cheap stylist) - just looks long in the front and shorter on the back and sides, maybe has layers
>buy products recommended by stylist to maintain this style (probably hair mousse)
voila

What curl type am I? Help I’m new to this shit

>>17499399
After investigating I think its type 3b, high porosity

>>17499349
I have the clay my barber told me to use, but I'm bad at applying it so it actually looks good

Absolute newfag here, I noticed that my hair only looks messy in the way I want it to when I don’t shower for a few days. If I’m clean, my hair becomes way too tamed. Any recommendations for things I could be using to get that effect while still being clean?

chopped my hair just like i said! how it look?

>>17499560
pomade or a hair oil? it probably looks how you want it because it's got some grease build up

>>17499649
You look like a typical lesbian zoomer.

>>17499649

It looks okay but you look faggy. What did your hair before look like?

Are there any good FRAGRANCE-FREE pomades/product?

Do I have a …jewfro?

I want to grow my hair out
I recently gave myself a buzzcut (basically a skinhead now) and I want to grow it out so it reaches between shoulder and armpit length
What do I need to do?
How often do I need to get it cut? I have coarse and thick hair
I'm mostly worried about the stage where my hair will be in my face constantly but it'll be too short to tie back, am I going to have to wear clips? I don't want to wear hair bands because they make me think of tennis players and a girl who bullied me in primary school

>>17500306
Oh yeah also when I grow my hair out is a skinhead head a good starting point or do I need it to be continuously cut so that different parts of my head are at a different length?

>>17499013
shaved - looking great man

>>17500306
Getting through that stage where your hair is too short to be tied back and you look like your stuck in the early 2000’s in a punk phase is called “the awkward stage.” Everyone who has longer hair has had to go through this, and it’s part of why so many people don’t have long hair. The awkward stage can last anywhere from 5 months to a year or even more. There isn’t a way around it, if you want longer hair for certain styles you just gotta suck it up.

Can anyone help with my no-shampoo schedule? I watched from a comedian Chris Distefano that he only shampoos once a week while everytime he showers he uses conditioner instead, I’ve been doing it for two weeks and so far my hairs looking nice, is this the way to go or am I missing a step? (Sorry for the pic I took it from the shitter, it’s an all natural/organic conditioner and my shampoo is that purple biotin and collagen brand)

>>17500583
>Can anyone help with my no-shampoo schedule? I watched from a comedian Chris Distefano that he only shampoos once a week while everytime he showers he uses conditioner instead,
Yeah, I'm on this thing called no smoking. So anyway I only smoke once a week and the rest of the days I chew nicotine gum.

Seriously dude? No shampoo means no shampoo.

>>17499756
LMAAOOOO

>>17500811
I might try to get something like this going but I think my hair might be too wavy for it.

>>17500296
bruh

Is it autistic to ask a hairdresser if they can do something with my hair before I book or pay them?

>>17501643
Do you intend to pay once they finish though?

>>17501762
No?
Do I have to pay a consultation fee?

I've been progressively thinning in the red area for about 2 years but nothing seems to be happening elsewhere. Does regular androgenic alopecia sometimes behaves like this and focuses on the sides alone before spreading or could it be something else?

>>17498588
looks good but stop making those gay faces my brother

>>17501767
Idk anon never seen in there! Unless you mean the temples? Mine has thinned out and is going the way of vegeta. But I’m currently rocking the Julius Caesar cut! It makes it less noticeable, I would be 100% “Chad” (6’1 and lean *175*) if I had perfect hair like blumann or Alex costa!

>>17501787
Noted. Thanks
>>17501960
Would you mind posting yourself? I’ve found one other dude who I look similar to

I want to have my hair longer than my shoulders. I tried to once and didn't have a haircut for 15 months, when I decided to try to style it with a hairdresser I've known for years but he fucked my shit up so bad that I've cut both my hair and all contact I had with the guy. My issue is that I have curly hair and grow a jewfro, so I look like Ted Kaczynski's successor when I let it grow. It's also annoying to have because of frizz and heat, and I look 10 times better with short hair, yet I still want my hair long. Any advice on how to lessen the pain of growing it out? My first try was dreadful. Should I chemically straighten it the first couple of months to make the process easier?

>>17502051
Any. Just get one of eBay. They’re pretty much all the same

I've been some months on a self improvement journey since I've always disliked my body, after losing 10 kg I finally feel like I can start trying to look good, what do you guys think I should do with my hair? What hairstyles you recommend? My hair grows very unevenly and it's pretty greasy if that helps determine a good hairstyle (by the way ignore the vuts on my lip, I just shave like a retard)

Should I wash my hair everyday with water and on every 3rd with shampoo or just let it be dry and only wash it with shampoo on the 2nd or 3rd?
When I had long hair I had no trouble with leaving it dry instead of making it wet everyday but I've cut my hair a while ago and unless my bang is long enough to tie it I can't really do anything to not get it wet, will it damage my hair as I said before, if I wet it everyday and use shampoo on every 3rd day?

How good is it for oils, scalp and hair health in general?

>>17502333
First it looks like your face is being distorted by the camera focal length.
Second that haircut doesnät suit you, as your face needs to be leaner for that, right now it looks light on the top and heavy in the mid section.
Hair quality doesn't seem bad though.
So basically take better pics and keep getting more lean.

>>17499649
Genuinely fucking garbage cut

>>17502051
What >>17502220 said

>>17499649
Do you have a pic before you got that cut, so we can compare before and after?

>>17500296
>…

uhm I have an oval face shape and I have no fucking idea what type of haircut I should get, the ones with bangs make my face look round while something which goes up makes my face look long lol, any advice?

>>17502601
Post pic of face and current hair you fucking brainlet

>>17502642
no thanks, my face shape is oval and my hair type is 2b

>>17502051
I got a gilette one at walgreens for $15, does the trick. Definitely closer shave than a cartridge.

Is it time to buzz?

Posted earlier asking, another attempt.

Haven't had a haircut for 8 months. I think I look better with short hair but I feel more comfortable with longer hair like at the top here, and less boring. I also like not having to have my hair cut.
What should I do?

I'm growing my hair out because I'm a hippie but I just look better when it's short. Tfw I'm torn between my integrity and wanting to fuck pussy.

>dad is bald
>I'm still norwood 1
Is 0.25mg x3 a week good enough if you're not losing hair yet?

>>17498484How would you describe the hair in pic? Work can't tell me how to cut it anymore, so I want to grow it out and kind of like this look.

>>17503162
Probably a messy slick back haircut. You’ll need about 6 inches on top with shorter sides. Wet it and brush it back completely. Apply some light hairspray and wait for it to air dry. Then use your hand to loosen a few strands all round your head

>>17502901
Same here. I get complimented on my looks often when I have my hair short, and look like an upstanding normal citizen, while I look like a homeless Jew when I grow my hair out. Anyway, I don't really care anymore since I probably won't have my hair forever. I just do everything I can to look normal while not cutting my hair (blow-drying using heat protection, styling products, haircare routine, etc.).

>>17498484
>>17499050
>>17500181
I got it. Took me 2 different barbers to get it right.

How do I grow out my hair properly when it's this curly? I want shoulder-length hair but it just never comes down, it's permanently growing outwards like an afro, although it does grow extremely quickly as it this is just 2-3 months of growth. It also looks like complete shit, but I'm willing to put up with it as long as it's worth it in the end.

>>17503238
Woo, 4 inches to go. Thanks man, was at the barber the other day and have apparently lost the ability to describe hair outside of regulation cuts. Felt like a total sperg only being able to articulate "longer then what I have"

I want to shave just the top of my head, any ideas of what to use to keep a good line? I was thinking a belt but I want it higher up than a belt will stay on.

I told the stylist before she even started cutting to leave the back alone; instead she cut this awful triangle shape into it.
How fucked am I lads? I'm pissed out of my god damned mind. Seems like she did this deliberately just to piss me off.

>>17503374
I feel you man. I had 18 months of hair growth go down the drain because my stylist woke up in a bad mood and decided to fuck my shit up for no reason at all.
Your hair looks short or medium-length, maybe just letting it grow out again is your best bet. It doesn't look bad, maybe just a little off, but it'd be better to compare it to a better pic showing all of your hair.

>>17502766
why?

>>17503349
You have to really let it grow. like 6+ inches.

>>17503347
those two images are not exactly the same hairstyle, one has longer sides, the other has them short.
And what you have is a weird mix of both.
The sides start off short and the front, then get long at the back. Unlike the other pictures where its lengthy on the side through out, or short on the side through out.
Feels like you showed the two images to them and they couldnt pick one or the other and just mixed it together.
Honestly your haircut looks presentable from the front but the side profile is so so, maybe the hair needs some time to settle in.
My first impressions were that you cut your hair yourself.

>>17503374
>>17503378
Self cut master race overhere. Never have to deal with the problem of explaining to the barber, or showing pictures which they dont bother to look at, or scheduling or lmao paying.
That said, fancier haircuts, especially if you want some kind of elaborate layering or maybe have straight hair like asians, then you will need to kneed to your local barber.

>>17503395
Yeah.. you're right, it is overgrown by 2 weeks. I will say this hairstyle is very hard to do correctly. As you can see i haven't exactly combed it straight back and now it looks swept over (which it is). I feel like i should have corrected it for the picture but i didn't think it was that bad until you pointed it out. I almost want to retake the picture to prove it isn't that bad but i don't think anyone really give a fuck.

Like i said i have tried 2 different barbers and 3 different pomades before almost getting it right.

>>17503395
>Self cut master race overhere.
What should I know about giving myself a buzz cut? I don't want to pay $30 + tip for some greasy millennial to do it and my current barber JUSTed me for the last time.

>>17503395
>Self cut master race
I'm leaning towards cutting my own hair too, at least for a while. Last time I got my hair cut I went to a regular barbershop since I wanted a pretty basic cut, and I got lined up like a black guy by a venezuelan immigrant. He fucked my shit up for 3 weeks but it was pretty funny.

>>17502563
I posted it before when it was really long!

>>17502544
>:(
its really not that bad u just don't like how it's styled obviously

>>17503412
Slowly, I began to hate them (barbers)

I've been cutting my hair for like 8 years now, the few times I do go to the barber I'm usually never happy with how much they take off the top or how it looks. I think I'm pretty shit at cutting my hair but if I do a bad job or im not happy it's different than if I paid someone

>>17503415
you will never be a woman etc etc

>>17503415

I wanna shave my head but I've got a dry scalp--how easy would it be to take care of that without hair? I'll bring it up when I see my dermatologist next month, doesn't seem severe enough to be seborrheic dermatitis though.

>>17501762
Could you please help me?

>>17503695
Sorry for the late reply. No there’s no consultation fee, at least with male barbers. They’ll be fine to answer any questions, usually they’re pretty friendly. People are very specific with their hair so they’d get questions all the time

>>17503409
>want to retake the picture to prove it isn't that bad but i don't think anyone really give a fuck.
Might as well post it if you are willing to go through the hassle.
>Like i said i have tried 2 different barbers and 3 different pomades before almost getting it right.
Sounds like a hassle, but then again, we all get some kind of hassle, we just choose the kind we can live with.
There is a reason a lot of people don't cut their hair for instance.

>>17503411
You will absolutely need at least 2 mirrors to see behind and around you.
Good lighting so you can see what you are doing.
Scissors, a comb and brush. for anything beyond short. Hairtrimmer with different guards for short, cleaning up the edges, etc.
Handy tool I like is one of those razor combs I can't explain how to use it, but it's a nifty tool that lets you make adjustments or smooth over transitions between different length sections. Or if you have lot of hair in a section and it's refusing to lie down more neatly due to volume, you trim between it so things lay in a bit more neatly. Situational, but handy.

Lastly mindset, you'l need balls to actually cut your hair if you care about the results and patience and care to take it slow and carefully to learn and get the results you want.
Over all it will take at least a couple of attempts to learn what technique you use, yields what results and then adjusting that to get the haircut you want.

Now why would you go through all of this effort.
The way I see it, I can spend the rest of my life teaching the barber what kind of haircut I want and keep dealing with the annoyance of inconsistent results, schedules, and paying them for it.
Or I can learn it myself for free, get consistently shit results at first and get consistently good results later for the rest of my life. Want to make a small adjustment, you can!
So yeah, it's a long term investment.
But I view it on the same level as cutting your own nails or brushing your own teeth. It's maintenance and it feels maddening that you have to rely on somebody else to do something like that.
Imagine if you couldn't wash yourself and needed to book an appointment with the local washer.
>>17503412
The only real thing stopping people from trying is they either don't want the hassle, or can't afford the social hit of a poorly attempted self cut.

>>17503437
I'v used pictures of myself and they still fuck it up. I did have one barber that did it perfectly though

>>17503610
>t. brown eyed “””human”””

>>17503961
Quick note to add to this.
If you let your hair grow out for a while and plan to just buzz it. Then that is an excellent time to learn cutting your hair.
Progressively give yourself short and shorter haircuts using scissors and trimmer.
If you hit anything nice, you keep it, if it all turns out shit, just buzz it all off like you planned.
You get some experience under your belt and possibly get a better haircut for yourself.

>>17503347
you'd look a million times better if you'd shave that horrible peach fuzz off your face

>>17503962

>>17503437

That's how this growing out session started, had two bad cuts last summer, and now I'm extremely on the fence if I should go for a cut or let it rock.

>>17504357
I like this messy look

Went full chia pet, may never go back

>>17498484
I'm scared to go for a haircut in case they mess it up and give me a retard cut. But my hair's a shapeless long mess atm. Any tips for getting over hairdresserphobia?

>>17499649
You look like you're transitioning

>>17503609
The perfect balance of clean but getting naturally oily.

>>17503953
I have retaken it. This is straight after a shower without any pomade. I use a high shine, medium hold oil based pomade
>>17504239
okay. Do i look better? Should i have kept the moustache?

Wax, pomade, clay, or hairspray for a day to day/casual hairstyle?

>>17504660
For me? It's suavecito pomade or a laymans.

>>17499219
norwood

>>17504659
MUCH BETTER

>>17504665
Seconded the suavecito use the oil based not the water based because the water based is shit and as long as you don't use too much like a retard you can style it one day and keep it in your hair for a few days before washing which lets you style without adding product

Bros what shampoo and conditioner do I use, I have type 2a hair I think. Medium length, volumous and very dark brown. I just want something good and not specialised for anything in particular as I don't have any problems with my hair but I can tell that using the off the shelf shampoo conditioner is not good for my hair long term

>>17499013
>Am pretty /fit/
nice pencil neck brah

>>17503614
I appreciate the though anon, but I already did abs today.

>>17504659
Yes the hair appears to sit more correctly this time. Question is if it holds up like that through out the day though.
Also the back length is wrong in my opinion.
The jake one is shorter and in smaller layers. While you have a longer one. Pic related if it helps you understand.

I get mad at my hair. I can make it do exactly one thing and it's meh.

what does actually and long term work against dandruff?
would a bore brush in the monring be able to mechanically remove them?

I have to wear a black shirt at work and dandruff on the shoulder looks terrible

>>17504825

any bigger and i'll get sleep apnea

>>17505448
dandruff is a fungal growth, your body doesnt produce an enzyme that naturally kills it so you have to use some kind of anti fungal regularly to keep it down, head and shoulders is the cheapest but if its real bad you might have to go to a derm. Stop listening to anyone saying its dryness, oils feed the fungus and makes it worse

>>17505475
ive gone that road down before and used a medical grade fungicide shampoo for a while. this what not the cure for my condition

>>17505475
>>17505477
The fungus responsible for dandruff is part of humans as much as gut bacteria is. It's present on any normal, healthy human just the same as its present on those with dandruff.
What changes is how active the fungus is, what kind of oils it eats and secretes byproducts that irritate your skin and how badly your skin reacts to it.

Read up on it.

>>17504421

Thanks, it's not really a good one for an office environment tho ;(

>>17504463
Fades with beards look dum. There's a huge disconnect with your hair and beard

>>17503415
Yo Pippen, how's the weather in the shire this time of year?

How can I style a messy quiff on my own?

>>17499114
How do you do this?

I had a lengthy hair but I cut it shorter today.
I'm trying to slick it back but I have these clown buns that form from the hair growing from the temples, I even tried saltwater mixture that should allow me to stylize the hair, but it just keeps pushing out on the sides.

Should I buzz the sides or what? Also thought of just buzzing it all off and waiting for things to grow naturally, but I think I look kinder with a bit of hair, I've been told I look intimidating especially with a buzzcut.

>>17502563
>>17503415
I like your before more, also not a fan of how you styled it after, good texture though. Ever thought of dying it black? It’d look good on you

>>17505514
Pomade, clay maybe? Slicked all the way back, you’d look nice

I've had the same haircut for as long as I can remember and have no idea how to pick a better one.

I'm open to suggestions. Side part business cut w/#2 sides is what I've been getting since high-school

>>17506786
Either more dirty/oiliy hair. And if that doesn't work, then you need to play with length, too short and it will poof up, too long and it will sag down.
Another option is that you have too much volume in the hair there, so it can't fold neatly to hang back. A razor comb can help with that by removing some volume and letting hair fold and sit neatly together.

How does he do it, lads? How does his hair always look so incredibly perfect even when runs through it up with his hand.

Any thoughts on using eggs as shampoo?

>>17508676
But why...?

>>17508809

Am I losing mine bros?

>>17508889
that is a pretty normal hairline. in your late 20s you'll notice almost everyone is like that or worse

>>17508814
>your scalp absorbs chemicals.
Thats an argument on why you shouldn't put chemicals on your head, not that your scalp will be able to absorb all the unprocessed components of an egg.

>hair loss is innately connected to lack of nutrition
Two things, one, if that is your main concern, why not apply the eggs to a body part that absorbs the eggs more fully, like... the stomach that is specfically designed for that job and gets you the most nutrients out of an egg.
2. What hairloss are we talking, male hairloss from hormonal changes, or womans hair falling out due to being a vegancuck?
Cause you can be perfectly healthy and well fed as a man and male pattern baldness will still happen.
>For instance, male pattern baldness is not linked to Testosterone or Estrogen at all, just an isolated increase in DHT which hints at something beyond hormonal status being at fault.
DHT is literally a more powerful version of testosterone. And it's not even the fact that DHT causes hairloss, is that most people have hair folecule sensitivity to it.
It causes hair loss on the head, and bear and body hair growth instead for example.
>
There is also a unique peptide found in egg yolks called HGP, or "Hair Growth Peptide" which promotes hair growth through VEGF stimulation. This study shows that not only does this peptide increase hair growth, it's potent enough to achieve this even when you eat the eggs.. can you imagine how effective massaging raw eggs directly on to your follicles would be?
Don't know about this enough to comment. Question is if this peptide gets absorbed and does anything if it's done through the skin vs the stomach.

My verdict for me, is eat the eggs. And don't use shampoo.

>>17508906
Here's a better image

I'm just worried about balding. No man in my family has ever gone bald but genes can be recessive if you go back far enough. My hairline has looked basically like this since 25. I'm 31.

>>17508907
Yeah.. you're probably right. I'll stick to eating eggs!
>>17508914
Maybe you just need some eggs :)

you could pull off the slick back pill

>>17506786
you have to commit to growing them out long enough that theres weight to keep them down with product or cut it super short and layered which requires more maintenance and frequent cuts.

When I go to the hairdressers, what do I say to get a similar haircut to pic related?

>>17509205

>>17499649
>>17503415
your haircut is fine, it is just that you look like a woman. Are you on some pills or something? Take masteron or some sarms to fix your hormones

This is my look now (except I'm a bit fatter than him lol) but I don't really like long hair on me. What do?

While my forehead passes the 4 finger test, it bothers me how my hairline sits slightly behind this “ridge” if you will.
I feel like my bone structure in my forehead area has changed or something over the past few years.
It seems like my forehead become generally more “bulbous” rather than flat like I thought it used to be.
Anyone ever had similar experiences?
(Pic might rotate)

>>17509350
Other side

>>17498484
I started norwooding as a 15 year old, I am now 20 and have been using finasteride to maintain what I have left, I am thinking about going for a hair transplant, does anyone know any good clinics in Europe/Turkey?

Would something like this have any real effect for someone with with some temple corner loss or are topical dht blockers not much on their own?
Also, it’s not one of those things where if I stop using it, my hair would get thin really fast is it?

>>17509366

>>17499349
I showed that picture to my barber and he threw me out for being flamboyantly homosexual

>>17502333
Keep losing weight (track calories) and get a typical cleaner/short-sided fade in the meantime.

been reading a lot about rosemary / mint oil 2x a week recently as a replacement for minoxidil, anyone got any experiences with it? myself I'm currently waiting for some blood tests for some other stuff so honestly half hoping that my massive thinning and receding over the past half year is due to an iron deficiency or something and is somewhat reversable (picrel)

>>17510475
Does iron deficiency also lead to miniaturization of hair follicles in the temples just like male pattern baldness does?
I haven't tried rosemary and mint oil but I used minoxidil and I don't recommend it, definitely use the oils instead if you want.
To anyone in this thread who has male pattern baldness, this is the most important thing to know: it's finasteride or nothing. Minoxidil will dry your scalp, age your skin (it has alcohol for better absorption, and some of it is gonna rub on your pillow too when you sleep), is very annoying to apply (every evening for 10 minutes, doesn't sound a lot but it really adds up) and worst of all, it doesn't even treat the root cause of your balding, it just accelerates the hair growth process and gives you some new "zombie hair" that's somehow different in texture than the other hair and will stop growing as soon as you stop using minox. You could use it in combination with finasteride if you really need as many hair gains as possible, but minoxidil just by itself is a bad choice, just do scalp massages instead or something.

>>17498588
This is a 18+ site, underage b&. MODS

>>17510475
also I'm 23 lmao picrel is how it looked circa August 2022

>>17509366
>>17509368
Only topical finasteride, RU, pyrilutamide, alfatradiol and fluridil actually work as topical DHT blockers (to some extent).

>>17510475
it works as well as homeopathy and activated almonds

>>17510618
Some natural compounds probably do inhibit DHT, but the effect is too weak to matter and may not even inhibit the right 5ar enzyme isotype.

>>17509217
i don't want to do that i don't look like women

Finally getting some length after growing this out from a buzz and getting a trim to keep the lengths even. Anybody have any styling advice for me? I've been using a styling cream, but is there something better for curly hair?

>>17510475
>picrel
I have similar thinning on the sides but no recession. I went to a GP and he gave me a blood test which found nothing unusual. He also gave me a derm referral but I'm pretty sure he just wanted me out of his office fast. I'm still holding off on making an appointment because I'm worried the derm will think I'm wasting his time. Hopefully my balls drop before my hair do and I finally decide on making an appointment. So I'd recommend you get a referral from a doctor and use it to see a dermatologist. Listen to actual professionals, not internet memes.

Product question.

I've been growing out my hair, and overall I like what it's doing, but it tends to get hella floofy. The thing is I hate pomades and shit that makes it so my hands get nasty after running my fingers through it. I find that a touch of beard oil does a nice trick, but is there something better? Coconut oil and shea butter? Argan oil?

Thanks all.

>after months of struggling with sebderm using internet solutions, decide to bite the bullet and pay 100 bucks to see a derm
>recommends me a shampoo I was already using and tells me to stop being stressed
>whole exchange took like 5 minutes

>>17511591
Yeah, there is literally nothing that a derma can tell you about your hair that you couldn't find out about yourself on the internet. This is actually true for many other things as well.

What’s this hairstyle called and how can I achieve it. I have a mop of hair that just kind of has Dora explorer vibes

>>17510475
minoxidil or any vasodilator can only grow new hair (by increasing blood flow to the roots), but it wouldn't stop your existing hair from falling out. You should try to lower your DHT with finasteride.

>>17511591
have you tried no shampoo?

>>17511938
Yeah, for a month or so. Rather than see the issue settle down, it started getting worse, slowly spreading over to my eyebrows and nose bridge. My scalp itself was filled with flakes and scales so I went back to shampoo because I needed to get my hair cut and I couldn't go like that.

>>17511976
How often did you rinse with water. What was the water temperature.
Did your brush?
What is your diet like?

>>17511981
>How often did you rinse with water. What was the water temperature.
Every 2 or 3 days. Lukewarm.
>Did your brush?
My hair was short but every morning I had to comb/brush the flakes away and then blow my head with a blowdrier to be able to leave the house and not shed flakes every time I move. (The process did leave my scalp red and itchy, but what can you do.)
>What is your diet like?
Average gym diet I guess? I'm not eating processed foods or sneed oils if that matters, I cook most of the stuff myself with olive oil or butter.

>>17512014
This is my guess given the info and my own experience and knowledge.
But I'd say that your scalp has too little oils to keep it hydrated and not spazzing out due to dryness.
While washing and exfoliating helps remove flakes which can cause irritation as well, if you are being too aggressive and leaving the area dry, it will cause irritation and flaking itself.

Here is what you can do to test if that is the case for you.
If that is the case you need to avoid using blowdrier for your hair. Avoid using anything above lukewarm water(ideally using comfortably cool water and finishing off with a 5second rise of uncomfortable cold)
Towel dry your head, just pat the towel, let it soak in water then move on to a drier part of the towel, do not do the ruffling motion, its pointless.
Diet: Adding more fats, eggs, etc hand help the body pump out more oils as well.

This is in general.
For short term test, you could use some kind of oil(maybe olive oil is fine, you need to look into this).
And vigorously apply it to your head, massage it in, so the scalp gets soaked in the oil, also massaging will help remove excess flakes.
Let it stay in your hair for 20-30min at least then rinse it off with luke warm/cool water (the warmer the water, the more readily it will remove oils)
Take note how your head feels in terms of itchiness. No itchiness means no excessive flaking later on, it's your fastest feedback.

Again don't use blow drier and don't comb/brush aggressively close to the skin, you want gentle contact with the skin of the head( you can fuck it up with a comb for example)

And that's about it that I can tell you.
Usually flakiness can be caused by excessive oil, deadskincells and gunk building up. OR excessive stripping, having no oils and drying.

If you constantly wash and it flakes, its very possible it's too dry. So you should try the opposite end of the spectrum and see how it feels and works out for you.

>>17512036
Thanks anon. Did you also have seborrheic dermatitis? How's your own hair washing regime?

>>17511591
Had a similar shitty dermatologist experience, including the shampoo recommendation.

What has essentially cured my sebderm was *totally* abandoning shampoo and instead buzzing my hair to a zero once it approached medium length/started truly itching.

Next - while your scalp is less dry, your job is to scrape off whatever buildup exists to get it healthy. Effectively scraping off deep buildup is vital and can't be easily removed without a close cut (i'd guess coal tar/salicylic shampoo would speed this up, but avoiding shampoo has worked well so far).

I'd recommend also fixing any stress and using cool water in the shower, but have no evidence to back them up.

>>17512084
I used to use fancy shampoos, I'd still get tiny specks of dead skin and my hair was kinda dry and hard to control.
On a whim I stopped using shampoo and switched to cool/cold water. After about a month it felt better and about 6 months later, I could see the hair looked a lot nicer due to not having it's oils stripped constantly.
I also got way more manageable hair, I don't use any products and it lays down for the most part, exactly like I want it.
I also never get the issue of "hair is too clean". Or too oily.
>How's your own hair washing regime?
I kinda covered it in my previous post. No shampoo, cool water to wash, cold water to finish up/seal it up. NO blow drying, no hair ruffling, just let the towel soak it up and use a detangler brush to spread out the hair so it dries more evenly ans faster. Rinse hair as needed, can be daily if you want or need, can be once a week, depends on how sweaty you get and how much oily food you eat and thus how much sebum you pump out.

But recently I had some flakiness in my beard and washing it regularly with soap didn't help, it only made it worse in retrospect. Blow drying my beard to dry it and shape it also made it worse.

So I instead I smothered my beard in sunflower oil for like 2 hours and rinsed it off and it felt a lot better. That's when It clicked that probably it's so flaky and irritated because it's too fucking dry.

Now I use
hellianthus anuus(sunflower), seed oil
arctium lappa(greater burdock), root extract
malaleuca alternifolia(tea tree), leaf oil
rosmarinus officinalis(Rosemary), leaf oil
on my beard an the irritation/itchiness/flakiness is gone.
Now it could be the extra oil that my beard and skin underneath that needed it. Or it could be the extracts doing the work. I can't tell you which for sure.

what are some good hair clippers?

how often do you guys use shampoo + conditioner compared to just conditioner? I'm poster >>17510475 from a couple days ago and did end up diluting 4 drops rosemary oil in 20ml coconut oil to use after a shower and let it sit for a couple hours, but when I went to rinse it out it seemed pretty impossible to remove without using conditioner, but now I'm wondering if using conditioner to remove the rosemary/coconut has completely nullified any benefits of it. any anons can chime in?

>>17498598
Remove the faggy septum piercing, get the beard shaped, and take about an inch off the hair on the sides.

Hi guys, so I like the length of my hair BUT the back part is too long and looks like a mollet, what should I say to my barber to fix this? Last time he said if he will trim only on the back it will look weird, this is not true, is it?

>>17500181
He has it cut a certain way, it tapers off in length so his front is the longest.

>on fin for 8 months, moderate regrowth
>add 0.5mg dutasteride daily for a week alongside finasteride
>new dark hair starts sprouting along my hairline
Dutasteride is pretty neat, think I might switch over.

>>17513017
And what is the advantage of doing that?

>>17513108
I would need to see what length and form do you have to know if it would look weird.

>>17512806
>That's me, thanks. I've had this hairstyle since I can remember. Got bored of it I guess.
Well you can change it if you are bored and want to, but it looks good and you don't need to.

Also do you intentionally shave a middle part between the mustache? Or is that something naturally occurring?
Anyway if I was you, I'd go with "my take" but you do what you feel is more "you" big guy.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GET THE BARBER TO DO WHAT YOU ASK?
i literally have the OP image cut and style. really close to the bateman, i ask for a little trim, show them exactly about 3cm to 4cm on the end of my hair, ask for short at the very bottom at the back, straight fringe. 80% of the time they give me a really short back and sides cut with a weird pointy fringe ... just got back from the barbers and now my hair will be shit for about 3 months untill it grows back in.
Only 2 or 3 barbers I've ever been to have given me what i've asked for. they always take it way too short. FUCK BABERS i am doing it myself next time, that way atleast it will get fucked up for free instead of paying to get it fucked up.

>>17512290
i never use conditioner or any bullshit or shampoo. i use a light bar soap like "simple" brand soap, i do about two light washes with that so as not to strip too much of the natural oil and my hair has never been healthier, never had fewer split ends or less frizz.
when my family would push shampoo and conditioner on me my hair was in shit condition.
sometimes i apply a tiny amount of hair oil before hair products if it's feeling a little dry right after washing.

hey anons i hope this is the right place to ask this:
very quick background, i grew out my hair since last year and its now below my neck, its always been thin, wavy and oily as far as i remember
recently i started having a very itchy red rash that wouldnt go away until i started Nizoral a week ago, it was probably something fungal and also prob related to my lack of proper care after showers and workouts, i kept doing it everyday because thats what i did when it was super short, im not nasty
anyway, the only downside to Nizoral is that it leaves the scalp and hair very dry, and i already live in an ultra dry part of Canada to begin with
the very cold season is coming to an end so i'll have to put away the touque/beanie soon and i REALLY want to put my hair on a bun, but as it is right now its too dry and difficult to grab and put everything on a single place, its thin and wavy and strands go everywhere everytime
...what can i do? do i need to apply some product that allows me to grab all my hair on a bun? what can i use that it doesnt play against my Nizoral treatment?
thanks

you'll still be fat so it doesn't matter what cut you get. you still still be a fat man with hair on top. try cutting the fast food and soda first.

DON'T YOU THINK I WOULD IF THEY WERE STILL AROUND? fuck you, you are so stupid jesus christ. one closed down and that barber who worked there disappeared, second is in a different city to me now, so i'd have to travel for hours and i don't even know if the same barber works there, third and final one has some kind of bone disease and now he can't hold scissors without pain.
