A '''baldcel''' or '''norwoodcel''' is a man who experiences [[norwooding]], or male-pattern baldness. His baldness contributes to his inceldom. Baldcels often try to cope with various shampoos, but the most desperate ones get hair transplants. | A '''baldcel''' or '''norwoodcel''' is a man who experiences [[norwooding]], or male-pattern baldness.

Sometimes, hair transplants fail and baldcels become transplantcels because of the permanent scars left by the botched surgery. | ||
For the prevention of hair loss, 5-α-reductase inhibitors such as Finasteride or Dutasteride are commonly prescribed to balding men. These substances lower DHT, a potentiated version of the male sex hormone, [[Testosterone|testosterone]], which is generally considered to be the main cause of male pattern baldness among men who are genetically sensitive to it. On the other hand, these drugs also can increase [[estrogen]] levels and may have side effects, most generally the lowering of libido, in rare instances. As DHT is important in maintaining several physiological functions, some have claimed these drugs can have more insidious effects over time, though they are generally considered reasonably safe. | For the prevention of hair loss, 5-α-reductase inhibitors such as Finasteride or Dutasteride are commonly prescribed to balding men.
