discussion Do you check your hairline/thickness on a daily basis? Be honest.

[SoldierofLove]

Well, sisters? Do you?

 

I catch myself checking my hairline and the thickness of my hair on an almost daily basis. Not obsessively. Just when I'm moisturizing at night.

 

My hairline hasn't started receding and I haven't experienced hair loss. I'm dreading the day it starts because I'm positive I have a weird shaped head  

[Kevin2803]

I'm afraid that would pointless for me. My hairline has been receding for a while now.

[classiccity98]

I was blessed with a nice full thick head of hair watch i go bald bragging 

[Mtjjproducer]

No but I did take a dna test and found out I don't have the balding gene. I have a full head of hair and have long dyed ginger 3c curly hair. Hairs in knotless box braids rn

[cuteboyzay]

Not really no lmaooo!!!

 

I have a lot of hair but it's even crazier when I come it out ngl. 

[Illuminati]

Not obsessively, I'm aware it's more or less inevitable

[toast]

Stressing about your hairline too much gives you bad skin, so no

 

[mylicious]

Absolutely not, imagine being this obsessed with looks

I didn't know you could do that 

 

What's the purpose of the test if you can't do anything about it?

I hope this isn't rude to ask, but have you shaved your head? If not, will you?

 

I fear my head is too lumpy to be bare like that. Maybe I won't be as self conscious by that point. 

[Taste of Honey]

Nah, cause that **** is gone.  Need to go and book a trip to Turkey soon. 

[Delirious]

Bald men are HOT. 

[PrettyHurts]

I'm 26 and I have no signs of balding or receding so I think I'm fine 

[willmcclure9]

I am 26 and ive had thick curly black hair for most of my life but as of the past year or so i can see the front part of my hair starting to thin... and yes its stressing me tf out

[єѕℓαм]

I was kinda worried before but then i decided to shave my head and people started saying i look even hotter like a pornstar or wtever 

Also i realized that i don't have the bald gene in my family anyways

[NextBish90]

Turkey is calling us all to replace our heads! Cok Guyzel!

[glitch]

I've been shaving my head for a year so no

To be fair, I think it's quite common for men to have anxiety over hair loss. Most men have had hair their whole lives so it can become a big part of their identity/how they see themselves. Added onto the fact that balding men are often ridiculed in media and by members of society, hair loss can be quite a stressful thing to go through.

Same. Planning my trip to Turkey as we speak

[flower moon]

a few years ago someone told me i had a receding hairline and i got super insecure for awhile, checking it frequently.
but then i looked at some pics of me as a child and it is literally the same. 

so i dont check it anymore.
 

[pearlmercury]

no i have much hair all my life

[May]

I never check it

 

its always been thick and healthy 

[Bosque]

No that sounds unhealthy

You can easily get tests for almost any relevant gene these days. Cancers, illnesses, alcoholism, even personality traits. Good to know if you are aware of any potentially hereditary illnesses in your family

[Fevesy]

My dad is bald (well I think from memory, I haven't seen him in years kii). I take Finasteride just to be on the safe side tho. Don't think I'm receeding yet and I'm 29 next week.
