If u have lost all your hair , how much would u spend on a magic one off baldness cure like a tablet, I have tried everything there is out there but no luck, I reckon we are at least 15 yrs away from anything worthwhile , I’m 40 yrs old and would spend $ 50,000 US for it.
I have not even spent a cent for a hairpiece, although I do own some really awesome hats.
I would worry more about the way your "you"s seem to be dropping letters than that your scalp feels the need for fresh air.
- As much as I joke about it, I happen to like being bald.
Don’t answer yet, because we’ll add a second bottle of baldness cure ABSOLUTELY FREE!!
Moved to IMHO.

Bald guys are hot. Just sayin’.
In 5 years you’ll be 45.
Invest the 50G now, and get in shape physically.
A 45 y/o guy with money in the bank and a fit appearance will be a better chick magnet than a fat guy with a nice head of hair and no money sense.
Embrace baldness. It is precipitated by testosterone. Buzz cut and no comb overs. The thing that makes baldness look so lame is straggling fine hairs left to waft pitifully around.
I think I might spend about $1,000 for a one time pill if my baldness really bugged me, but it doesn’t bug me at all, and I don’t relish styling my hair again.
If I were a woman, perhaps 50K would not be out of line for really severe alopecia.
Quite a bit.
I’m happily married to a hot wife with 2 beautiful girls, going to gym at least 4 nights a week so am quite muscular, have a life that most people would look on with envy, but will never get this baldness hate out of my head, most people think as you get to the 40s in age that it doesn’t matter if your going bald or are bald, but that’s crap and I am sure a lot of other balding guys would agree, I’ll never be truly happy till the day comes the cure is found but I’m not holding my breath as its always 5 years away
Go to a therapist and learn why you have this hate for baldness. Will be cheaper and make you happier in the long run. By the way I am married to a man who is 90% bald and overweight and he is the sexiest man I have ever met.
I think that if a baldness cure came along, bald guys would pretty much disappear.
It’s like gray hair and women. Many, many women start going gray in their 30s and 40s, but the ones that do pretty universally color their hair. practically the only women that let the gray show are post-retirement. So now gray hair signals “in your late 60s”, not “in your 30s”, so it makes women who do let a little gray show look really, really old, or really incongruous. Were 25% of women in their 30s and 40s showing gray hair, it wouldn’t have those connotations and we’d probably all know women who looked better with gray hair, who had “good” gray hair, who made their gray hair work for them. But since gray now equals = elderly, we don’t.
I think the same thing would happen with a sure fire baldness cure. Some men look great bald, but I’ve never known one who found the early thinness/receding hairline thing to be exciting. Men who started to go bald in their 20s and 30s would pretty universally take the cure, and after a generation not having a think head of hair would make you look elderly. So then even guys that wouldn’t have been bothered by being bald would be.
I’m starting to get a complex…
Manda Jo:
Gray hair signals that you are in your late 60s - not really but ok.
Being in your late 60s means you are “really, really old” - AAAGH. No it does not. When I was 20 maybe 60s seemed over the hill but since many many people live to be 80 or 90 and stay quite active and involved, you really need to rethink your notions of “really, really old.”
I have a lot of friends of all ages (women) who do not color their hair. I also know several men who are bald and not the least bit neurotic about it. Your views are not nearly as universal as you seem to assume.
I pretty much agree with your point, Manda, but there are guys who deliberately shave their heads (crap, the shaved head & goatee was to the 00’s what the mullet was to the 90’s), but, besides Tavi Gevinson, how many women dye their hair gray?
I wouldn’t spend a cent. I had a full head of hair (long ponytail thing) until a few years ago when I shaved my head bald. My gf was looking at baldness from potential chemo, though she dodged that bullet. Now she is fine and I have shaved once or twice a day until last month when I let it grow back just outa curiosity.
I lost about 70% of my hair suddenly at age 21. Hasn’t changed much since and I am 65 now. I never really gave it much thought. No doubt it gave me a smaller dating pool, but still more than sufficient and it weeds out the more shallow ones. I would not spend more than maybe 5 grand tops in my 40’s. Now I wouldn’t spend a nickle.
To the OP, have you tried surgical follicular transplantation? I have. It works. I spent a total of approximately $20,000 for two procedures. Please read my thread from last year on this topic.
I have a “bald spot” and medium length hair otherwise. I do not like short hair or a buzz cut (for me, I don’t care what others are doing with their hair). I would like to get rid of my baldness, rather than embrace it. My wife seems happy with me as is, so perhaps I’ll continue to ignore the whole thing. Money’s not an issue. If I decided to do something, I’d pay whatever it cost.
- I started to lose my hair in my late teens and it was pretty thin by the time I was 30. All gone by 40 and I don’t care one way or the other. My wife doesn’t seem to either.
Well, I think I’d willingly trade my growing locks for your ability to accurately predict events hundreds of thousands of years into the future.
