Today, it's been three weeks since I started using a hair-growth shampoo in the hopes of combating my balding. All it's done so far is make the hair I do have monstrously bushy, both upstairs and down. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after taking hair growth pills and using hair growth medicated shampoos, I have not seen any different in my thinning hair. Can't say the same about the hair sprouting on my knuckles, chin, and toes. My pubes are very thick, silky, and luscious thanks to the treatment. I'm a woman. FML
Today, after weeks of dealing with a bad hair cut, my hair finally grew back to my preferred length. Today is also the day my roommate replaced my shampoo with hair remover as a prank. FML
Today, it's been almost two months that I've been taking hair, skin and nails vitamins. The only thing growing noticeably longer, faster, stronger, and healthier are my pubes. I've never sheared a sheep before, but I imagine the maintenance I just did was comparable. FML
Today, I was finally confident enough to buzz half my hair off into the style I've wanted since I was young. Turns out that I have a particularly large and angry-looking skin problem across my scalp that may well have been there for years. It'll take months to grow back. FML
Today, I have really big insecurities, and the ONLY thing I like about myself is my hair. I got it permed yesterday, and just now I used shampoo on it, and my hair is falling out. All 12” of it. FML
Today, I have alopecia areata and I constantly have reappearing bald spots all over my head. I cannot properly grow a beard, and one of my eyes has no eyelashes. However, my nose hair seems to grow at the rate of an old man on biotin. FML
Today, I discovered that I bought two shampoos instead of a shampoo and conditioner. So for the past three months, I’ve been washing my hair twice. FML
Today, I discovered that the vitamin I've been taking for hair growth actually works really well. Unfortunately, it only works on my leg hair. FML
Today, I’ve been growing dreads for two years after I lost my hair to chemo. After visiting my boyfriend’s family, we all contracted lice from the kids. Even though I did the shampoo and treatment, my locks are too coiled to effectively comb out all the nits. I have to shave my head again. FML
Today, my wife is angry with me because after she'd convinced me to grow out my hair, it exposed my receding hairline. I shaved my head to the same appearance as when she married me, so I could feel more comfortable with my own body. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Or he could just shave everything altogether and say he has alopecia. And by everything, I mean EVERYTHING.

Yeah, and he shampoos his hair downstairs. All the more shrubbish.
onlychildFTW 34
Who shampoos their downstairs hair? I sure don't. Don't need "extra volume" there. Guy "yeah look at me, I'm not balding" Girl "I got some hair in my teeth" Haha. I'm so bored...

beggers can't be choosers, just go with it

Are you using the product "downstairs" as well? If not, you should probably discontinue usage altogether. Any topical product applied to your head but *works* on your pelvic area cannot be good for you.
reddudeover 2
You apply it to your head and then rinse it off where it get all over your body.

^ wouldnt that mean he would get hair all over his body?

52. - God forbid he gets some in his eyes.

62) he did say it didn't work, and that it just made his hair that he does have bushy.

What about eyebrows and eyelashes? Would they get bushy too?

66, thank you. Made my night.

Maybe I've been doing it wrong, #28, but I can't quite picture how you rinse shampoo out of your hair and have it run over your pelvic region. My hair is on the back of my head so I rinse with my back to the water. It does not run down the front.
taytym 6
why would you put hair growth shampoo 'downstairs'?
maninthebox11 8
Maybe the op was balding there too... And felt bad about themselves?
ColdplaySucks 18
I would assume that when using shampoo in the shower, it would reach there while washing.

Maybe it was a pill..?
KrazieKleo 13
48- seriously? Wow some people....
2ophiia 22
48- Yes, because some companies sell shampoo in pill-form.
geko911 22
Well I didn't know they made shampoo pills! What we can do with technology!
ConesOfDeath 0
I see no 48. Do comments sometimes get completely deleted instead of simply moderated sometimes? ...and is being stupid a ground for moderation? Just curious because you said something about 48 saying shampoo is a pill. ......If stupidity is grounds for moderation I'm totally screwed xD Waffles!

5- that is exactly what I was thinking:D

48- Except OP clearly states that it was a hair- growth shampoo?

At least you don't have to worry about getting bald downstairs
xavier21_fml 6
I didn't know that was a legitimate worry for males and females? haha I can't say I've ever worried about it.
AliceeH 5
Yeah... now you know you shouldn't use that shampoo..
maninthebox11 8
they're getting hair, so it is perfectly fine to use that shampoo. If it wasnt working, then they shouldn't use it.
AliceeH 5
Oh, then he should just wash it in the sink so he won't get hairy.. down there..
maninthebox11 8
That would be extremely difficult to do.... Why not just lather it everywhere EXCEPT ... Down there? That sounds smart
AliceeH 5
True, but it would help the shampoo not getting there if he washed it in a laundry sink, those are big enough. :)
maninthebox11 8
Maybe the op has a really big head and it doesn't fit... Or he is a normal person and showers and just cleans in there...
Awsumuzzie 12
16, it doesn't take skills to use the sink to wash your head, and it's not that crazy of an idea... It's a really good idea. If that's all op has to do to avoid having it rinse down the body, then by all means do it! You're making it sound like only batman can wash his head in the sink.
Narttu 20
16 - OP didn't say it was working, he said it was making his hair "bushy", which most likely means it is drying his hair out too much and making it super frizzy. Also, it is actually quite easy to wash ones hair in a sink, given a little practice and common sense. Just because your brain obviously struggles with the concept, it doesn't mean everybody else's will.
maninthebox11 8
The batman can do everything. Just saying.
AliceeH 5
People who dye their hair wash it in there... so they won't get the dye on their bodies...
maninthebox11 8
And sometimes in the tub
hecallsmedarlin 7
65- no shit?!
AliceeH 5
109 - 26 said it would be extremely difficult for people to wash their hair in sinks.. so I'm saying that it's not because people who dye their hair wash it in sinks...........

I must be Batman then.... Can't tell if poster is serious or just dumb as a box of rocks...
niallswifr 7
Lemme get this straight... You use hair growth shampoo... Down there?? What? Does anyone else find this disturbing?
Michaelsgirl04 9
I think it was probably a hair growth supplement that is taken my mouth and is only supposed to work on the head (gotta read those side effects ;) )
maninthebox11 8
Maybe they felt sad they couldn't grow hair anymore.. As long as you have hair SOMEWHERE it's okay!

18, it clearly says SHAMPOO.
