Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
People are discussing why barbers often don't mention their clients' hair loss, with some sharing personal experiences where barbers did suggest treatments like finasteride (Fin) or mentioned the possibility of hair transplants. Some barbers avoid the topic to not offend clients, while others openly discuss it and recommend treatments or acknowledge the issue when asked.
Stopping hair loss treatments like finasteride and minoxidil can result in losing regrown hair, highlighting the importance of consistent use. Restarting these treatments may cause temporary shedding, but hair can regrow with continued use.
A user who started balding at 20 trying different treatments to combat hair loss before eventually embracing being bald and getting a custom hair piece as an option. Various people commented on his looks with and without the wig, generally agreeing that he looked better bald.
Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
