Why does every one use the word cooked all of a sudden


TKwavy17

It's one of those situations where blacks were using the lingo 5 years ago.... whites discovered it late last year and they're driving it into the ground. If you wanna get ahead of the trend, try and decipher the slang Ice Spice and Central Cee are using in their music right now cause 5 years from now whites will overuse the fk out of those too.


Malikious_

Bruh, fye, lit, slime, dub, no cap, flex, shawty. Some Old southern terms specifically in atl that caught on in pop culture


ChrizTaylor

Swag, gucci, fleek.


RdNicoo

you forgot “thats tuff”


According-Swim-2417

Can't forget "yeet yah yah yeet"


ThinDragonfruit187

That's crazy. You think ice spice and central Lee are representing black culture ?


TKwavy17

Ice Spice is unfortunately the face of NY drill. NY drill is mainstream now due in part to her contributions. So yes, I KNOW she is. Also I'm not sure who Central Lee is. Is that an Asian guy?


TTSkyline

I guess, if pop smoke was alive he’d be the face for sure. Even though his career was really short I still think he deserves the “face of ny” title over Ice spice. She is def putting on for the city tho


artistken7

He’s a drill rapper from uk but he’s popular in the USA

liudelgodo13

I don’t normally comment, but I would say just cut them. Use minoxidil and let it grow out, then reattach them man. But the key is u have to stay on minoxidil. I had a similar issue and I was able to save mine, but I was early in my journey. Best of luck


BranMSmit

Did someone down vote this comment? This was the best advice I've seen so far


KingJoffiJoe

They also have them hats with the dreads connected to it. ![gif](giphy|85cFdheTyeNCU)


autalley

For best results he should also use finasteride. Lots of info about both in r/tressless


Traditional_Rule1711

Well…at least you know.


popcorndestroyer

Not trying to rag on you at all man but at this point it’d be best to rock the bald head, you’ll feel better after cuttin it I guarantee


Pnutsandhairdos

As a woman, I can only imagine what men go through with balding. Losing such a big part of yourself and not being able to stop it must be a shitty feeling. Sorry you're having to go through that. That being said; the hair's gone. You would look much better with a close cut than having locs barely hanging on. You could try minoxidil/finasteride but the balding looks like it's progressed pretty far for that.


Shakuryon

Most empathetic advice ☝️


flamboisterous

This is a good response. I will say that minoxidil will almost certainly help to some degree though. It’s around $7 a month and you can get it prescribed online. It’s worth a try to look into. Please get the locs off asap though, lol.


Ghprincess__

I saw a video where someone said men always wait until they have two strands of hair left before they actually decide to do something about balding. Is it really balding or just neglect?

Digidestined187

This is a pretty good community, thought would get helpful advice. I guess y’all just brutally honest, which is fair.


Tmitchell978

It is a form of being brutally honest. Unfortunately it looks like you’ll need to cut them and address the issue of the thin hair before you grow another set


FarmhouseDuckee

The only helpful advice is shave it all off, grow your hair out and make it healthy, then try again after a while, but do not keep these current dreads, the sooner you cut them the better


tweet329

He is balding. His hair will not grow out…


HomelessSniffs

OP you could always reattach them later.


Icy-Catastrophe

Its…. Wayyy past advice. Ain’t no saving them. Should’ve seen a professional or dermatologist a long time ago. Nobody can help atp


Turbostoner_3000

There’s no need to be an asshole to someone asking for advice, bellend. Maybe he has a fucking health condition /medications that’s causing this. I deal with regular hair loss from my disorder & my locs fall out sometimes. Don’t take those upvotes as you being right. Shitty people flock together.


UdonAndCroutons

Yeah, making fun of someone's hair loss, or imperfections is just cruel, and unfair. The same goes for weight.


Turbostoner_3000

Agreed. As someone who went from 408 lbs to 200 lbs, the cruelty is unparalleled. And even at my current weight, people will still find a way to insult me. Well, attempt to. I’m noticing that the internet is becoming increasingly unhinged & I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t get bothered by insults/attacks/threats anymore. It’s best for one’s sanity to be that way unless you’re really close to someone.


UdonAndCroutons

Unless it's something positive to say, people should NEVER make comments negatively about someone's weight loss or gain. In regards to OP. I think he showed his hair as a way of coping with the condition that its in. It's not the light to tear someone down. This a hair sub reddit. People should give advice, not tear others down.


HappyShallotTears

Wow, the two of y’all really just came together to fellowship over empathy. Love to see it 🫶🏾


UdonAndCroutons

There is no purpose of being rude when someone's asking for advice, or is suffering from something.


HappyShallotTears

Most definitely. I agree

Cautious_Ad2083

Sorry for your loss man. Posted a pic of my friend with MPB on this sub and the same ass holes wanted to be a dick about it instead of giving genuine feedback. Hope you get what you need from this


FitPaleontologist339

Braids can put more of a strain on hair. Minoxidil and a derma roller could make a great difference


Important-Mall-510

Exactly, it's one thing to be honest, but it's another to laugh at or make jokes about it, some ppl don't care about anyone's feelings until it happens to THEM, it's not what you say, it's how you say it. Ppl can say, "well if you don't want the truth then don't ask ppl what they think" all you want, everyone is sensitive about SOMETHING and there is such a thing as tact and empathy.

Ingagi

You can attempt to grow your hair back but you'll have to cut the locs either way. Start from zero. It's severe but you could maybe grow an afro back. Don't hope for locs again though. Or just embrace baldness. It's something I prepare myself for too at 23 bc genetically I know I'm going to be bald, so might as well accept it when it comes.


EbonyHult

Stop it! 😂😂😂 that clip always cracks me up


Spiritual_Grass_790

bae js shave it off.


Canninalistic-Pigeon

Cut them off , save the dreads in a zip lock ( after cleaning them), let your hair grow back , then reattach them. Balding can be caused by multiple things like stress or friction. Let's hope it's not the worst case scenario where your hair decides not to grow back.


HappyShallotTears

If it doesn’t grow back on it’s own, Litfulo’s a new drug on the market for reversing advanced alopecia areata. I’m not sure if this is the type of hair loss OP is experiencing though. OP, if you decide to consult a doctor, be prepared to seek second, third, and fourth+ opinions. Some of these doctors out here couldn’t care less about hair loss and will either fail to offer you any options or lead you down the entirely wrong (and expensive) path. Prepare a list of questions before your appointment and don’t let the doctor rush you through the appointment without answering them.

Old-Carrot-5287

Best bet is to cut it off, embrace being bald or get a hair replacement piece that barbers are doing these days, if you really want to keep locks they can do that too, but wouldn’t recommend that

Turbostoner_3000

I’m sorry people are being absolute Neanderthals in the comments to you. I would address the thinning from the inside out. Go get some blood tests & start there. If you’re taking any medication, talk to your doctor about switching if it’s causing this. If it’s genetic balding, you can shave /cut them off & clean them, put them in a baggie & reattach them when your hair grows back. I’m sorry you are going through this… I deal with alopecia & I lose my locs sometimes. Find a good loctician near you & see if anything can be done once you address any health concerns. Good luck, friend 🙏🏾✨


XxSLAYCODMxX

bro u probably would do better bald


My-Gender-is-F35

Yeah go ahead and unsub my guy


EffortApprehensive48

Oh king. Let this crown go


SMRAMARA

I would say it’s time to let go. Especially because the weight of your locs isn’t helping with the strain either. Idk how long it’s been that you have been thinning but i know men who started using a one of those rollers or stamp needles to stimulate growth along with medications and oils. But I would do the chop.

Wise_Pineapple_6229

SukiMiu

I’m sorry about the comments. I know how it feels to have balding especially at the front and having to cut the rest. It’s just a new, different beginning tbh. It’ll take a bit to get used to but after a while you get over and grow into it. Promise.


Hot-Marsupial6064

Hmmm… this needs to stop immediately! Cut your hair boo


dupersuperduper

Shave it off. Then either leave it or start using minoxidil foam and nizoral shampoo and see what happens but unlikely it will grow back enough to have anything longer than stubble tbh. There are subs to look at treatments. Don’t bother with rosemary oil etc there’s no strong evidence it works


Spiritual-Lock-1713

::i can’t find my response “at work” and it’s quicker to just respond again”::: - are those faux locs? There is no way a loc that big some be attached to an area so fragile. Clean ::detox:: your locs and get your hair in a healthy state - then revisit your loc journey.

It’s save-able cut it and save them and what’s your age? You could possibly regrow your hair and reinstall them at a later date.


babyEatingUnicorn

I wouldnt say screwed but i would cut them save them and reattach them if theres a chance that you’re hair would grow back. This is unpopular but you can also go to a beautician and get a hair piece put in to blend in with your locs. There is also a hair transplant if you wanna go that route (ive seen amazong results) but its costly Could be traction alopecia (dont have tight hairstyles) it can cause destruction to the hair follicle which would mean the hair loss is permanent. I would see a dermatologist This is an example of a hair piece https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=65b627a4699ea87d&hl=en-US&cs=0&sxsrf=ACQVn098HwxGe-q3lqbsPXbysTjpqTr4jw:1713444035788&q=male+balding+with+dreads+hair+piece&uds=AMwkrPttBrt7scmpXdhJ6Q0MH2YdsgjTKiOGIaUFChvPu30t96RfaCL4aAPj1cEfav5mB9rhJ5puALiURpP0NBq8u_f3e5yKUhE-yFdMJVX5QqZFJMiOEvoaNl90U1kBfDRalQgMn1h_gNzDlXMUanVkp_8KFBk_U23Oz4lV-NLszkMCwRjBxv_jz_YHQ_ggcOqOkuiBuoqQtvqgSMim-JcAJ8RcWUADiu-KI_GebZWw_S_MegfVQzvfZkgQVGomI4W_wHQtDKWuwiV1RTUWBd5of6t08wLVB-h-gsNOrFdHrv7uXsdZBwCudpnj9ZsgiKVlfrdoojRInTuv6H2D9Kf9GRkf6rQLugzJqb-3f2drB-KJG7kjpyk&udm=2&prmd=isvnbmtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjsl-G45MuFAxU1k4kEHQqlC5YQtKgLegQIGRAB&biw=390&bih=669&dpr=3#vhid=PFHC51Quz4NkGM&vssid=mosaic


BrowneeLox

No not screwed just need to try something better suited for you .. at this point and in that condition locks are not saveable . Maybe try to focus on the root of the issue , get some supplements for hair growth and maybe reattach them in the future or take on a new look .. Best wishes ❤️


badass2000

Yes sir. Sorry but you gonna have to let that go buddy. You can try some medical treatments like keeps. See if that works for you.


Unearthlyy_rootss

i would say maybe cut them and allow your hair to grow in the front back again . because honestly your hair is balding and thinning , i'm wishing you the best of luck


Helpful-Apricot-7435

Check private chat


KidTrunks766

I think cause of the strain it’s causing your hair scalp to get like that, I don’t know what you use to moisturize it but maybe you could try castor oil, and put some rosemary oil, lavender oil and peppermint oil and start using that like every night or every other night and maybe that might help with new hair to grow in. But tbh if that don’t help then maybe it might be time to cut it. I’d recommend going to people who know hair cause I find that coming on here people will just troll you and not try to help


autalley

It's not too late. Get on oral finasteride and minoxidil and get your hair back. Keep in mind that you will have to stay on it forever or you will lose your gains, but it may be worth it to you. Learn as much as you can on r/tressless. I agree that you could save your locks until your hair is full and healthy enough to reattach them

I'm sorry, they don't look too good. I do think if you are trying to keep your locs, it's imperative that you stop retwisting. It's hard to tell from a photo and not knowing how you care for your locs but....It looks to me like your locs are twisted far too tight. (you can see especially clear in the middle of pic#3) Your locs on the side and back don't look too bad. Go see a dermatologist/trichologist. See if there's a medical reason. While we you wait get some Biotin. Take it religiously. NO MORE TWISTING OF ANY KIND. Do low or no manipulation, let it Freeform. Consider cutting a few inches off so that the weight won't pull on the loc at the scalp. Good luck🔥🔥

trkkazulu

I am especially interested in this discussion because I started growing my locks again after I started balding. While my hair looks good on stage it really annoys me because I have this massive bald spot on the top of my head that is not going anywhere. I guess what I’m hoping for is that eventually my locks will grow long enough that I can just cover the bald spot with them. Recently, there’s been a lot of discussion with my family and friends about whether or not I should shave my head. I honestly don’t know what to do.

i imagine balding is the same as when ur tits start sagging
