It’s Papuwa. I’m not sure if this is really related to dating clubs, but I’d mainly like to ask the male members something.

To put it bluntly: how do you deal with thinning hair?
My hair has always been fine—probably naturally—and is what you’d call “baby-fine.”
What’s especially noticeable, though, is how thin my bangs are.
Since around the latter years of elementary school, friends have said things like, “Papuwa, isn’t your hairline kind of bald??”
There have even been two occasions when children I didn’t know passed by and said, “Doesn’t that girl look like she’s balding?” (；∀；)
From around the time I started high school, I began wearing my hair in styles that make my thin bangs less noticeable, so people stopped bluntly pointing it out. Still, hairstylists occasionally mention it.
If I cut my bangs, they naturally turn into see-through bangs, and I’m more afraid than anything of other people seeing me with wet hair in the rain (´･ω･｀)
When my hair is behaving, it comes together nicely, but sometimes it genuinely has no volume or body at all. When that happens, I feel like I’ve suddenly aged by 20 or 30 years.
My scalp also gets inflamed quite often, so I’m seriously starting to think I may need proper treatment at the root of the problem… Men, are any of you undergoing treatment or taking measures to deal with hair loss?
If you’re thinking, “I have a full head of hair, so I’ve never had to deal with anything like that,” please just quietly hit the back button, haha.
I’m Gaku, a male member with thinning hair.
My family sometimes tells me, “Dad, your hair’s gotten even thinner lately,” but I personally don’t really worry about it. I just figure there are plenty of actors who look great with thinning hair.
That said, women may be more concerned about it than men are. These days, there are even clinics specializing in hair loss.
It might be a good idea to consult an “AGA” or “FAGA” clinic, or a dermatologist that has a hair-loss clinic.
When I think of my own father, who spent decades trying various things on his own to no avail, I don’t have a very favorable impression of home remedies or self-directed treatments.

I think it’s good that you’re being careful not to damage your hair or scalp. It’s also a good idea to have a specialist take a look and determine whether treatment is necessary.
That said, I don’t think you should worry about it too much.
If anything, I feel it’s better to live thinking, “I’m me, no matter what anyone else says.”
Que sera sera…
There was a recent drama where Fist of the North Star made occasional appearances.
“I have no regrets in my life.”
I think that line became famous precisely because living that way is so difficult. But it would be amazing if you could actually do it.
Most people are more like:
“I have led a life filled with shame.”

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member whose daughter teases him, saying, “You’re getting balder every time you go to the salon.”
You may have already seen this on TV, where a comedian’s thinning hair appeared to improve after living on canned sardines, but if you search for it, you’ll find:
“This was previously discussed on TV, but there is a theory that ‘continuously eating canned sardines can improve thinning hair.’ A TV program investigated this after noting that fishermen who regularly eat oily fish seem less likely to suffer from hair loss. After one test subject—a comedian—continued eating canned sardines for two and a half months, his thinning hair improved to a certain extent.
This may be of interest to men whose hair is starting to thin and women who are beginning to notice a loss of volume.”
That comedian’s hair did indeed look thicker, so it seems like it might work.
Also, the “former Imperial hairdresser” explained the subject in detail on TV. If you search for it, you’ll find a detailed article titled:
“How to Shampoo and Blow-Dry Correctly to Prevent Hair Loss and Gray Hair, According to a Scalp-Care Expert (the Imperial Hairdresser).”
A lot of it is fairly easy to put into practice in everyday life.

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member.
This may not seem directly related to the dating club, but it’s something relevant to the men who belong to one（笑）
In my case, when viewed from directly above, my hairline is shaped like an M. I think it’s hereditary.
When I was around high-school age, I already felt that the hair on both sides of my forehead was fine and weak—almost like cat hair. Around my forties, I started wondering if the sides of my forehead were receding. In my fifties, they had receded quite a bit, and now that I’m in my sixties, I feel they may have receded even further.
I don’t think women’s hairlines recede quite as much, but they may gradually recede with age.
I’ve tried scalp massages because I heard they were good, but as for whether they worked… I’m not sure. At this point, I’ve given up（笑）
These days, there are also hair-growth products, so even if your hair is only starting to thin, it might be worth trying them before it’s gone completely.
That said, if you end up with thick, unruly hair, it’s at your own risk（笑）
