What about baldness?

[Guest miss andros]

I have a beginning of baldness. It in my family. I suspect androgenes to be responsable.

This is beside i want a hormonal treatment.

All males will develop some balding as they get older.  If your mother's father was completely or majorly bald, that has a 50%+ chance of happening to you (it happened to my 40 year old son, whose maternal grandfather was very bald).  Otherwise it is very common for men to start having their front hairline recede. Testosterone and other androgens are responsible.

There are  products that your doctor can prescribe that will help prevent that, or will slow it way down, and one of them Finasteride is used as part of HRT and is reasonably effective in prescription strengths for helping with Male Pattern Baldness.  You will not have to make a point of cross-dressing or any gender issues since cis men can be quite vain about their heads as well.

Take heart.  If the pattern persists you can always do what i do, shave and wear a wig. That is the worst and it's not so bad.  It took a bit of getting used to but in time i've found a style in which i am quite comfortable and at night i can set it to the side without worry of disturbing my hairdo.

 

Hugs,

The sight sponsor has a nice selection of wigs. The one in my avatar came from there. Happy shopping.

I can't navigate this sight very well. Where do I find the wigs? Or details on them?

thanks

Both of these are sites where I have bought wigs that were good quality, and whose service was very good.

Buying a wig online is certainly a good option, and one that I know many have used with great results.

For me, though, nothing beats being helped by an experienced wig entrepreneur in a store with a big selection.  For starters, you can try wigs on and find one with a look that you like and that fits your facial shape and skin color.  The proprietor can give you expert advice, and if the one you select needs trimming or styling, they'll do that for you, too.  If you like a style for which they don't have the right color, they'll have catalogs to browse through.

If you aren't sure what shops are trans friendly, give some a call and explain your need, and if you are embarrassed about other people seeing you, they can probably arrange a private time for you.  Most won't care - you're a customer, and your cash is as good as anyone else.

So it's your choice.  I've been happy with my wig shop, and they're happy with my business.
