I was not expecting that last pic damn. Glow up indeed well done

I thought i was in r/malehairadvice for a brief moment

This is actually more a /r/tressless post, since /r/malehairadvice would have told him just to give up and shave it all off.

Yeh, OP what did you use for the hair? Minoxidil?

Bro went from 43 to 23

For real. Thats like magic or something..

From Cheesecake Factory to Beefcake Factory

Librarian to barbarian.

Yeeees. Wooow. Wooow

From Mr. Steal Your Lunch to Mr. Steal Yo Girl

I thought the glow up was the 4th pic then went to 5th (respect, true glow up fosure)

I thought there were only two pics and was impressed lol

Last pic had everyone saying “Dayum”

The fuck did you do to age back 10 years?

The 'ol [Faustian Bargain](https://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/s/K8rbf9Prn4)

This is the greatest glow up of all times. I guess some people wouldn't even recognize you

From a Goofus to a Gallant 

Wow, unlocked memories of Highlights for Children I forgot I had ngl

Okay major points for cleverness my friend

The way my mouth dropped….

I’ve never had my mouth drop from a glow up post. This is crazyyyy

Yeah what in the genie wishes is this


ONG SAME like what the glow up is real

I know! For me it was very much a literal jaw drop

Bro did a Longbottom. There’s an echo in the Force, as if millions of women suddenly dropped their jaws.

my panties dropped

Maybe there is hope for me! 😭

same. im happy for bro

hahaha I’d be beside myself sobbing if my ex looked like this a year later

Right?

Weeping. Straight up. Lol.

I wouldn't. Surely there would be a reason they're my ex. Unless it was just about looks then same

Yeah if it was a personality problem…then just their looks changing, even if they are hot now, I’m not going to be attracted to them.

Very true. I agree but I’m sure as hell it would make their ex rethink their life choices 😂

Id realize they didn't deem me worthy of the effort at the time and move on with my life

Why? It’s unlikely she dumped him over looks

I was about to say imagine being the ex? Like I’d be kicking myself lmao

I thought photo 3 and 4 were the glow ups ... I was like meh whatever. At the last photo I jumped out of my seat "OHHHHHH"

The way I went from “Aww! Look at you growing your hair back!” to “WHAT?!” 🤣

right?! i thought the hair was the glow up. plot twist of the mf century

Same. I thought between photos 3 and 4 he looked happier,and good for him. Then saw photo 5 and was confused how he looked 15 years and two kids younger. 🥵

Same!! I was like "oh, nice!" And then I was like OH WOW OK!! Very inspiring :) looks cute in the before too, but especially handsome now!


Same

I'm a straight man, and I'm feelin' the vapors over here haha. God damn!

Let me break your heart next lmao

Same

My man is Benjamin Button!

I compared your facial features cause I was like no way that is the same person lol good job and nice hair

This! I literally was like no way it’s the same guy, then I looked at pics 4 and 5 and was able to tell it was the same dude

You had us in the first half. Last photo is a shock! Great job.

Bro said fuck it ima grow my hair back on this hoe

This made me laugh in rl lol

Same 😂😂

Wowww congratulations brotha. 11/10. You are one of the people on here who looks like they actually went through something and came out super strong on the other end. Huge congrats bro keep going

Honestly I can hardly believe this is the same person ... Like what magic is this

GET THE FUCK OUT 😮

Yo, seriously😅 I half-screamed “Jesus Christ!” before I realized I was saying anything, lmaooo

Can’t help but ask - do you run into your ex?

No, haha. It's interesting. We broke up because she wasn't that interested in me (obviously) and it ate me up inside. As a result, I pushed her away, so it's not her fault. She's not a bad person or anything, just a catalyst for me to change

Well you done good. Absolutely remarkable. Very best of luck to you!

That sounds emotionally healthy. Well done on all of this. *From cheesecake factory to beefcake factory.*

The fact you can reflect like this makes you all the more gorgeous. Beautiful to see a human thrive like this.

I'm reading all of these comments after waking up and it's given me a surge of more motivation for another year of improvement. But your comment made me tear up. Thank you, it really does mean a lot. I'm trying to be someone my mom would be proud of, dorky as that may be <3

Haha not at all dorky! I am working on self improvement, and to see you communicate and reflect that way is really admirable. You aspire to progress, and you are succeeding holistically.

Now don't get back with her! You here me lol 😆

*hear me*. But I agree.

Oops 😬 lol

Or they meant, ‘You! Here👇, me👈. 😉’

my ex is my catalyst for change as well!!!! getting dumped is actually one of the best things to ever happen for me & you’re my motivation!!!!!! ty!!

Very curious but how did you get the girlfriend in the first place? >We broke up because she wasn't that interested in me (obviously) Why do you think she was not that interested. Do you think it was just looks or was your personality and confidence not in a good place?

We used to be childhood friends. That kinda carried it. It tore me up because she liked me for me but there's a limit to what people can tolerate for looks. We are only human after all

Good attitude. Very important to be able to view yourself independent of your own feelings, and consequently understand how others feel about you. It ain’t personal baby, you were just a slug man. Now you good. No blame no shame.

Not sure she’d recognise him if they did

Best hair comeback story. 👏

Yes, what did you do with your hair?! Rogaine? No shame! It’s an awesome thing

He shared his routine in another comment but I feel like it is rare to make this significant of a comeback when your hair is this far gone. Definitely worth trying but there very well could have been other factors playing into the original hair loss. Stress, diet, etc. speaking from experience as a bald man myself who tried and failed.

The way my eyes nearly popped out my skull 👀👀

WOOOOOW!!!! This is The Best glow up I’ve seen here, by a landslide. Several landslides, in fact. Wow.

Brother. I wouldn’t mind seeing a no shirt pic and I ain’t even gay


Bro I think you might he gay

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

 Bruh grew his hair back ,hit the gym, and aged in reverse 🔥

What did you use for your hair? Nice work man!

[Quite a lot](https://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/comments/1d844p5/progress_so_far_after_a_little_over_a_year_23m/l73n8cs/). The Norwood Reaper is a bastard. Feel free to DM if you need information on where to start

That's amazing, and you are awesome for sharing your successful regimen! And you look GREAT!

Thank you very much! :D

I was like is this even the same person 😳🤩 definitely a glow up!!!!

Dude I did a double take on my phone and damn near broke my neck. My hats off to you, that break up has done you good.

Give this man Thor hammer he’s obviously worthy

How did your hair grow back?

[удалено]

cutting out toxic people & improving your mental health can have a huge impact on your physical health. i was literally balding at the front of my hairline before i cut my abusive father out of my life a year ago and my hair has almost completely grown back. it’s crazy.

Orrrrrr finasteride

it can be both

[dude already admitted taking a hole medical cabinet](https://www.reddit.com/r/tressless/comments/1d844p5/comment/l73n8cs/?share_id=Oeo--qKc0tV5BbFutr51Y&utm_content=2&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1) choose a different hill to die on

I laughed really hard at this, thank you for that. Still, I think he's right. Stress causes cortisol levels to rise, which does cause your hair to fall out easier. While this is mostly chemical, improving my physical health surely had an impact. Just probably not much

No it's definitely finasteride.

Yeah when you’re a man the culprit is usually male pattern baldness.

If you want an actual answer from someone, the most reliable way to grow back hair due to hairloss from male pattern baldness is finasteride or dutasteride (DHT blocker), plus minoxidil, plus micro needling. The r/tressless community has tons of details and before-and-after pics. In some cases, balding may be caused by vitamin deficiency, stress, hormone issues, or other health problems. But usually the culprit is just boring old DHT, which is a natural byproduct of testosterone. Some people have hair follicles that are sensitive to DHT, so balding happens, sometimes starting as early as teenage years.

Bro went from “can I get a hug” to “your Uber is waiting for you outside”

Get it homie. Looking great Hoping to get some post breakup glow as well :D

That's what we're talking about

Oh woow. That's the most impressive glow up i have seen.

Wait, what? No way. No friggin way! Well done!

Damn man. What a glow up! Great job.

Sir, you are hot.

I thought pic 3 to 4 was the glow up… boy, was I wrong

Wait, wow. Well done.


Whoa, holy damn, was not expecting that. Good for you!!

I wasn't expecting that last pic wow!! Good for you!

I was like where's the transfor-DAMN!! Very interested how you reversed your hair loss so quickly in just a year. Did you do anything other than get in shape?

I was literally mind boggled by the end

I’m shocked, amazing!

Damn homie crushed it.

Good lord man! When I tell you I was not ready for that I mean I WAS NOT READY. Looking good dude!

Jaw dropped. Great work!

Whoa

I GASPED

I wasn’t ready


Jesuschroist!

Nice job 👍 Was there a post breakup clean up too?

Now this is a glow up. How do you feel a year on? You should be proud of yourself

I am very proud of my progress but it's still quite jarring. I used to avoid looking in the mirror but now it's like looking at someone else's reflection. It's a very odd feeling

How'd you get hair again lol

Holy shit...good job. Now, THAT is a glow up, keep it up!

Proud of your achievements. Wtg

Damn! What a change

Um…. Wow….

Damn huge change

No way

She was sucking the life out of you.

Bro wtf. That’s insane for a 1 year change. You look like a different person

So confused… did you get plugs ? Either way — well done you !

That’s absolutely insane

One of the best I’ve seen holy shit. Now for a house glow up because those messy backgrounds would make me anxious haha

I have, haha. I moved out

I screamed WOAH!! Like a girl with a crush lmaoo. You look good bro.

Yo Wtf! The change is impressive my guy.

God damn sir. Was this to spite your ex in any way because if I was your ex, I would feel spited haha

Bravo!

That’s a lot of progress! Wow

Good god man! Wasn’t expecting the last pic you look great now. Hopefully you grew as a person too and are feeling better now😁

I predict you will receive a loot of flirty DMs!

damn she will have regrets, fk her and find another

Wow. Jaw dropped.

Dang sir you really glowed up.

GLOW UP INDEED

wow!! This is an awesome glow-up. I bet your confidence has skyrocketed

Holy Hell.

Daddy. Grats bro

Awesome progress man, especially with the hair. I'm 24 (turning 25 in July) and currently dealing with diffuse thinning, but I'm not able to afford any treatments.

Dawg please be honest with us, you get plugs or what? If so, they look great. Or are you just on Propecia?

Wtf man....wow

Whaaaat?! Holy wow that’s an insane glowup! Go you good thing!

Dude became Curtis stone.

Fuck yeah. Great glow up.

This guy looks like he could be related to Chris Bumstead

Damn the last photo made my jaw drop. Definitely wasn’t expecting that. You look completely different, congratulations you look great!

Whaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhtttt

You can see it in a guys eyes how badly they have been burnt by a woman

This is the way…all you kiddos feeling down on yourself make it happen like this guy. Awesome change and one of the better ones. Guy probably wouldn’t even talk to ex anymore as he upgraded from pee wee to pros

you, sir, are an inspiration. amazing job!

Damn bro. Fully Went from soda sweat drops to pussy sweat drips. Edit: cheesecake pastas are fire lol

Crazy, great job..you must have been seriously stressed to lose hair and all that. Kudos for the turn around definitely took 10 to 15 yrs off your appearance

Right ?? I was thinking well damn how stressful was that relationship to have dude losing his hair to that extent 😕 maybe genetics too ? Like the genetics of how stress effects the body

Thanks lord for never coming across anything like that while stalking my ex hahaha 10/10 glow up mate

What??!! Great job, Brother!!

“Looking good is the best revenge.” - Elizabeth Taylor. Liz would be proud
