    Those drugs like finasterise are so dangerous because they inhibit DHT. The only way people can take them without killing their dick is if they cruise on testosterone for the rest of their life.

    Exactly which is why it isn't worth the risk

    The way Degale's head is shaped, it makes no difference. He has the perfect round square head for baldness

    There are just some men who are meant to be bald. Groves is another one who looks like he was born to be bald

    Lucas Browne, Mayweather and Cotto are others who would look creepy with a head full of hair.

    Degale should have just had scalp micropigmentation treatment.

    Any balding person who wears their hair short or looks good with a shaved head look should choose this cheaper non-surgical method over hair transplant.

    Lol it’s fair game really. Most black women wear weaves and most women hair extensions so why not?

    True, nasty drug. Used to be whole forums devoted to the life-changing sides it had caused people. Was originally (and still is) a prostate cancer drug.

    Over the years, patients noticed hair re-growth, bob's your uncle, now it's taken by that most desperate group of men, the ones fighting hair loss.

    This isn't 1952, just shave it already and grow a beard. Screw messing around with one of the core hormones essential for basic masculine function, DHT.

    DeGale has the right skin tone and head shape to look good bald anyhow, plus hair transplants are still very hit and miss on the crown area (which is where I first noticed him thinning during the Truax fight).

    I tried Toppik. It's actually surprisingly effective if you get the colour right but the feeling that everyone can tell you have black dust over your head never fully leaves you. Also, if you scratch your head while wearing it, it looks like you've raked your nails through coal!

    Have a look at scalp micropigmentation. That's going to be my likely option when I start balding because I've shaved my head short for like the last 8 years and I know it will look good if done properly.

    Have you seen Derry Mathew's hair transplant? One of the most futile transplants I've seen. He was clearly far too gone and post surgery it's so thin it's pretty much pointless.

    Best hair transplant I've seen is from the footballer Anthony Stokes. World class.

    TBH mate I looked into all these in depth when I first really started thinning around 6 years ago and came to the conclusion that I will wait until hair transplantation advances somewhat. Taking dbol massively accelerated my thinning! Literally daily I saw my hairline getting chomped back.

    Hair transplant forums are crazyyy busy, and the posters there will literally spend their life savings getting their hair back. No one ever talks about the effect losing hair has on men, it's just laughed at.

    Apparently the best hair transplant docs were in the US and Belgium, at least when i was researching it back in 2012.

    I will have a look at the micropigmentation option again though. I've shaved number 3 grade with a beard trimmer for years.

    And what happens on a night out when you leave the party with a girl who thinks you have a head full of healthy hair, you then you go to lay your head down on the white pillow alongside her, she sees the black pepper corns all over the sheets?

    Totally agree mate, the worst thing is you see balding people regularly mocked on daytime tv, whereas anything comedic about women's appearance is a total no-go.

    I've looked at SMP quite in-depth. The only downsides are having a really bad one performed on you (easily avoidable by looking at Instagram photos of particular treatment centres), the fact that it will fade over time (no problem really as you just go back to get it topped up), and obviously when you hit 60+ it will probably look a bit odd to see an old man with the appearance of a solid hairline.

    This is the best one I've seen. Honestly looks so good:

    Exactly, hence why I used it about twice! And it looks more like black dust btw.

    It's actually surprisingly resilient, but the humiliation about some girls snapchat/whatsapp getting lit up by talk about the guy they had a one-night stand with wearing make-up on his head to cover his bald spot is far, far, far worse than learning to love a beard trimmer, a tan and growing a good goatee.

    That's very good in fairness, they've come on leaps and bounds in a few years.

    Is the ink they used semi-permanent then? I was always under the impression it was tattoo-grade. I would be more inclined to have it done if it was fadeable tbh...

    I don't know about you but I've seen a noticeable increase in "normal" i.e. non-celebrity men getting HT's done locally. There are two in the same street near to me who've had it done.

    Also Italian football coach Antonio Conte. Never even crossed my mind he had a transplant. He used to have one of the most terrible balding looks I've ever seen.
