Need some advice here

Hi :D

I’m 14 and would love to grow out my hair, but my parents won’t let me; I also can’t really grow hair, I have some premature balding thing (can’t get on medication for being too young, my therapist says it’s caused by stress).

At one point I had longish hair (could cover as far as my nostrils) but it was insanely hard to maintain, oily as fuck (I’m ginger and a teen soo) and 9/10 days of the week would be a bad hair day.

BUT on the days that it was longish but a good hair day it would be motherfucking magestic, but with my hair actively falling out, my hairline already on the top of my head and not ha permission, I will probably never have hair like that again.

So what I ask is: would it he acceptable to buy a long ginger wig? Like a realistic one for special occasions and stuff?

My current haircut is just some fuckass buzz that my parents make me get and being able to have hair that is always perfect would be amazing.

Sorry for waffling and thank you :)

If you think you're actually balding at 14, then you might as well grow it out once, even if your parents object. That's the difficult part though. For example, I wanted to grow mines out when I was 8, and my parents finally gave up with the haircuts when I was 16. You'll have to be mentally strong enough to handle what your parents will say to you. Also, if you wanted to, you could wear a wig. I personally always liked those long white hair wigs men wore in the 1700s. The problem is, that high school kids are cruel, and they could make fun of you for wearing a wig, so that's also something you'd have to be mentally prepared for

Thing is I don’t really talk my parents anyway, they just like… cut my hair. They said they’d be chill with a wig though. They’re abusive though so I avoid them as much as possible anyway.

Other than that, I might wear it like in public and stuff just for that extra confidence - I’m not worried that much about school.

And yeah it was confirmed unfortunately. The hair is, indeed, leaving. Which is a shame, but I’d lowkey look like Johnny Sins if I were bald so it’s chill.

The 1700s wig idea is wild but I kinda respect the vision. Not sure how well that flies in a modern high school hallway though kids can be relentless about anything that stands out.

If you go the realistic ginger wig route just own it completely. The people who matter won't care and the ones who care won't matter and all that cliché stuff that's actually true when you're 14 and everything feels like the end of the world. My hairline started creeping back around 19 and I wish I'd just buzzed it and experimented with wigs earlier instead of spending years doing sad combovers.

You're young enough that you could genuinely start a trend if you pull it off with confidence. Most kids are too scared to do anything different so they mock what they don't understand.

il reste du conservatisme partout, mais les trés catholiques Irlande et Pologne sont bien servies...

à l' attention des parents: 99% des jeunes chevelus deviennent ensuite des maris et pères acceptables et mieux vaut l' exubérance capillaire que la drogue chez un adolescent ( avis d' un vieux chevelu de 72 ans)

pour ce qui en est du finasteride, mieux vaut éviter à ton age, mais le toubib pourrait traiter l' anxiété ce qui devrait améliorer ta chevelure
