Who's had a hair transplant?

44 tomorrow - Bald for 18 years; if you have the head for it, go bald.

You may need a trimmed stubble/beard to make it work.

Just remember what you save on shampoo and gel, you spend on Sun Tan lotion and moisturiser!

Definitely had more luck with the opposite sex since going bald, although I'm fortunate I have the head for it!

Bald, Shiny and Proud!

I'm fairly sure a lad at work got one, it looks good to be fair, he seems much happier than he did before

Have the hair transplant, propose, then the day of the wedding wet shave your head for pure chrome dome.

Get the "benefit?" of free hair transplant but still get to **** off the vain and shallow in laws

The thing which always puzzles me though is that you can probably patch repair relatively well in the early stages, but the rest of the balding region (and who knows how extensive that will be) is still going to fade, so if you don't keep patching, you're going to end up looking very weird. So once you start down this road you're committing to a long term expense. And of course each additional surgical intervention has a risk attached, and unless you use the same person each time the results may vary.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the process though. It's just that I'm fundamentally wary of businesses -- whether that's skin care for women or hair loss treatments for men -- which tap into our insecurities.

I thought about it, but its the potential side effects of the medication that put me off.

I'd be somewhat miffed if they said my bald head would ruin the wedding photos.

Edit: I shave my head even though I have a full head of hair.

Inlaws you say? Ruined photos? It starts.... Good luck OP.

I'm lucky enough to still retain most of my hair in all parts of my body

My dad had thinning hair but no grey when he passed away at the age of 62. So if that is anything to go by hopefully I'll be fine.

Just get Raymond to take the pics the heads will be blurred out anyway

Or get GD to Photoshop hair for you and spend the money on your honeymoon.

Serious hat on for a second... there are plenty of good looking bald guys. Admittedly, fat and bald is not a good look. But thin (not fat) and bald can be a good look.

I'd have found it hard not to laugh in their faces, but then I'm an a-hole.

Thanks for being offended for me GD, I've been with the OH for 12 years, they keep nudging me to pop the question... Think the moment has kinda passed though...
It was tongue in cheek, they're minted, and the father has said if he had the kind of money 20 years ago that he has now he would've done it in a heartbeat and still is uncomfortable with his hair loss. So all in all, it was a very generous offer in context

I don't have the head to pull off bald, nor do I have any facial hair... It's not going well in truth!

Such as?
What medication are you talking about? the Finesteride?

Why exactly is this woman with your follically challenged ass?!

I think he was suggesting she should dump you for being a baldy

Lol. The correct response was to point out you have a hairy ass!

Unless you're one of those weird pixie type blokes?

NoobCannon · 3 Jun 2019 at 22:28

You are brave for posting this in gd i must say.

Rather be bald than ginger embrace it

Correct

Hades · 3 Jun 2019 at 22:38

Not a chance in hell I would accept that from my inlaws.

It's shallow. It shows a lack of self confidence. You will be in debt to them. If it goes wrong you will look worse. If you thin again in future you will still look bald but have scars on the head.

Bald here and I wouldn't go back to hair unless it started sprouting naturally.

What your dad was like is pretty irrelevant. What was your maternal grandfathers hair like? That's more relevant to baldness.

The inlaws have offered to pay for me to not ruin our wedding photos with a shiny bonce, I've since had a couple of consultations and I'm actually quite keen to go ahead with the procedure.

You and your family are ridiculous.

What i'd do in this circumstance however, is talk my own parents into approaching my fiancee with an offer of breast implant money.
