At what threshold do you go full bald at? I’ve been struggling with this for years as my hair thins out. I’ve got the balding dome on my crown in the back, which of course I never see unless I look with 2 mirrors.

Anyways this is a query I just constantly ask people to get their opinion. What say you, internet stranger?

If you have a big balding spot that's visible, I say either get a hair transplant or embrace it (it will probably progress until you may want to eventually shave it all off). You can go either way. But you will need to go on drugs as well if you want to keep the effect of the hair transplant (unless you get repeated transplants). Hope this helped

Thanks for your input. I’m going to accept my level baldness regardless most likely. I just don’t know if/when I wanna go full shaved head bald. I tried it for about a year and the look just didn’t seem to fit for me.

Also it's possible drugs can fix it without a transplant

One more option: hair fibres, but this is a temporary solution and your balding will still progress most likely

Sadly I don't have a good answer. I'm almost at the point of having a bald spot on the back of my head, but I think I'm hiding it well enough for now. I guess the sad reality is the 2 mirror angle is not something you yourself normally see but other people around you do.
