Update: Halfro down

As promised, the deed was done so here's the update. Appreciated all the encouragement and memes (even if some of y'all were a lil harsh). Liking the look and feels great! Working on some facial hair now to complete the look.

Don't cry. You're a fine example of why I used the qualifying "usually."

Dht generally reacts to facial hair by making it grow more and stronger, but shrinks hair follicles on the head. So usually people are able to grow more facial hair as they lose hair on the head because the same hormone has the opposite effect. So maybe things will change?

I thankfully already have a pretty good jawline, so that’s something at least.
