There aer treatments for hair loss that can slow but not reverse progression of baldness. "Don't go bald" is actionable.

Treatments that can have seriously adverse side effects for some individuals or simply not work at all for others. Furthermore, most of the treatments do exactly what you said: they slow the progression, not halt it. It's not so black and white, unfortunately.

"Don't care about going bald" is even better.

Or "don't tie your self worth or happiness to your appearance," to be more general.

Yes, and I’m trying to call China now, but apparently the Chinese food delivery guy found a friend...

Maybe the advice should have been posted for 20 year olds and not 34 year olds. It’s still not helpful as is.

There are also surgical robots (Restoration Robotics) that do hair transplants without leaving ugly scars.
