The right hair transplant plus the meat and potato hair loss stack (finasteride, monoxidil and ketoconazole shampoo) and microneedling and he would be back. Guys have come back from far worse than this.

That said, nevermind the transplant, not everyone has the will or discipline to be on such a regiment... Not to mention if he's part of the small percentage of people that experiences side effects from the drugs.
You forgot to mention that if you choose the "drug route" and they do work for you, you need to be on theese drugs always cause if you quit the hair loss will begin again. It will be at a significant cost in the long run.
Personally I recommend Toppik. You can use it whenever you want. Works for me who is not fully bald. I take it when I feel I need to look better/look like I have more hair than I actually have, and skip it at other times when that is of no importance.

It's kind of weird that you are calling others "pathetic" for whatever measures they take to deal with thinning hair when you yourself, by shaving it, are also doing something to cover up the fact you have thinned or developed bald spots.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Is this serious? You do know that bald people that shave still look like they are balding... You still see the places where there is absolutely no hair, you still see the receding hairline... What are you talking about?! Shaving doesn't hide anything, it just confirms it. If anything, it's just more assuming. When people see me, nobody is thinking: "Oh, this man COULD have a thick hair, it's just a choice!" It shows. (I guess you could have a point if I would shave with a blade, but I shave with a clipper so there is always a little bit of hair left that clearly shows the baldness.)

Throw stones, my poet friend, I think my glass is thick as hell.

Look, I respect a guy like Shattenkirk because he's not trying to hide it. If he's comfortable with that hairstyle, good for him. It's people who tried to hide it, like combing is really doing the trick... That's all I'm saying.

And for the clowns out there that compares fat shaming and racism to making fun of unassuming balding people... You should be ashamed. It on a totally different level, you're just using those serious cases to advance you agenda.

You don't like this thread? You think it's disrespectful? It makes you uncomfortable? I can understand that. In fact, I shouldn't make fun of them but of the system that makes those men feel like they must do that. But to say this is the same as making fun of someone's sking color? Come on, there is a limit.

I swear Sportsnet always cuts to whichever angle showcases Gallagher's bald spot the most. Every single time there's a post-whistle scrum or he has his helmet off on the bench they cut to a camera showing the back of his head.

Is it possible that the constant helmet-wearing might have something to to with early baldness of nhl players? It seems like these guys lose their hair sooner and more often than the general population.

Where's Mark Recchi's weird hair

reminds me of a quote from one of the old Penguins boards

does mark recchi cover his bald head of the ice and then on the ice when his helmet flips of his balding head is exposed ala Newman asking to try on a new hat recently bought from a flea market while trying to pick up a woman complimenting the hat

LetsGoPens.com • View topic - Racchi's rug

it was supposed to be a reference to a scene in a Seinfeld episode but was all over the place and really didn't make much sense.

I get that. Some guys lose their hair early. But look at nhl players. There’s a lot of early hair loss in that subset.
Scientifically there's no connection between hat/helmet wearing and balding. It's genetic.

One thing that can accelerate balding in men with balding genes is excess testosterone production, and these guys in the gym working out every day are probably pumping a lot of T naturally.

Testosterone is produced naturally; not by working out. But I guess high testosterone guys are more prone to lose their hair.

I'm not even sure what's happening here. I love him though, and he's cool enough to wear his hair however he wants.

Gretzky
Lemieux
Crosby
