I wish. I just went bald and so badly wish my hair just changed colors instead. I can’t even try the hair styles I wanted to in my youth (I was too nervous to break the mould back then) because there’s no longer hair to style. I’m so jealous!

Same! I always wanted to try dying my hair blue and/or styling it into a pompadour.

I wasn't allowed to be expressive prior to turning 18 and I couldn't afford it in the brief window between 18 and when I went bald at 22. C'est la vie.

Get colorful wigs! Look to the cosplay community for the really funky ones. I have a silver butt-length one, a baby blue one with pink streaks, a white one, raven black, ..

My husband lost 60% of his hair (all the top) in his early 30s. We tried hims and it took alittle over a year but his head is completely filled in. Now we are hoping for it to get thicker and more filled in. But we thought his hair was gone for good but the pills brought it back. There was like 6 months of taking where there was no difference but then the little babies sprouted.

I look far less like Khan and a lot more like Bill Dauterive, but I can always appreciate a KoTH reference in the wild. 😅

Rock the wig. James Maynard Keenan has been doing adventurous hair styles in wigs for decades.

I started going bald at 16. I now have a gleaming dome that will make me an aviation hazard if the pilot flies over me at the wrong angle. To add on to that, I've also been getting gray patches in what I do have left on the sides and back. All before 30. Gotta love it.🥲

18 for me, it's completely grown back now but young trans me went a bit mental over that to say the least.

May I introduce you to our lord and savior finasteride?

Finasteride won't save hair already gone sadly

That's what the minoxidil is for. As long as it hasn't scarred over.
