Balding is only an issue if you make it one. Don't be insecure about something like that. Embrace it and go with it. If you constantly try to hide it, it'll show.

It's better to be secure with someone you're not happy about than it is to be insecure about it.

Haters gonna hate.

Agreed. You make yourself feel like shit. I did that since highschool. Thanks Dad! Its cool, I never really wanted a full head of hair. I decided to transfer some of it to my back and ass. for a little more overall coverage. On a more serious note, you will pay out a LOT of money and stress a LOT if it's working, do people like it? How do I look? etc etc etc. It's a big mind fuck. Side step it and choose a hairstyle that works for you imo. I'm not the cutest and I'm certainly on my way to balding. I still manage to scrap up decent women somehow someway. I have all confidence you can too (if that's what you're worried about).

Early balding is linked to prostate cancer - not only are you bald, but you should get your butt fingered every year, starting now. Sucks to be you!!

Apparently scientists in UCLA made the fur grow again on mice which was bald. I don't think they've tried it on humans yet though.. Might be interesting?

Other than that, I think keeping the hair short is the proper solution. Don't make a big deal out of it, and don't try to hide it! Its not a problem unless you make it one-.-

i know this isn't what you want to hear but...just go bald gracefully.

i'm 20 and my hairline has been receding since i was 16/17. no scalp showing or anything like that yet but i think it's best to just accept it instead of spend loads on something which probably could look ridiculous (implants etc).

and to the guy who pasted that pic i doubt he looks like jason statham

BoT, I remember reading somewhere online that propecia is 99% the same as some other drug that is 99% cheaper and easier to get (but it's prescribed for some other ailment). Look into that?

I'm 23; think I started to lose hair from the top of my scalp two years ago. Kinda sucks but you know that's life - gotta embrace it for all it's worth. At least it's the perfect excuse to get buff and shave your head.

I've been balding since I was maybe 16. I'm 23 now and well into it. I shave my head with a buzzer with no extension. The #1 setting is still too long haha. I do it every 2-3 days or so (takes literally 2 minutes) before I shower in the morning. My father is well into balding, but I already have less hair than him. But you know what makes it great? Not caring at all. People won't notice it if you don't.

To be honest, when I was maybe 20 or so, it bothered me a bit. I thought one day I would hair transplant it or what not eventually. However, people look at you as more mature, and it's not like the girl attention changed either. It took time, but eventually I came to embrace it. The biggest barrier is standing in front of that mirror for the first time with the buzzer in hand, knowing it has to be done eventually to not look ridiculous, haha.

Do I still visit clubs and bars? Absolutely. Do I cover it up? Absolutely not. It doesn't have to come with a lifestyle change. I know many people that are growing bald approaching mid twenties and it's just eating them up like no tomorrow... I feel bad for them. I wish they could have my mentality. It's all about what you make of it. Compliments will come if you wear it with confidence.

Tip:
If you ever shave it razor bald and not buzzer bald (I did it for a few months), don't wash the scalp. Just use shaving cream and don't shave more than twice in the same area, it irritates the skin. Washing will make your head very shiny from the oil the skin will create to compensate that was lost in the washing. Personally, I love the buzzer bald look, but both look good if you can pull them off well.

i've been losing hair since i was a teenager, and i started shaving my head at 22. For years I would leave more on top and trim the sides to "cover it up", but I realized I was getting a bit insecure.

Shaving, or cutting your hair really short, is the way to go. Try shaving your head for a halloween party to be Mr. Clean or Ghandi or something, or for a bar bet. It will take the pressure off you

I think the advice I can give is:

As you get balder, get angrier. The snarl will make up for the hair.

So you and I don't share the same sense of humor, get over it. Why even bother posting, you just expressed a negative feeling. How about next time, go punch your pillow.

Just because I am factious doesn't mean what I say isn't true. A lot of people are so boring on this site.

You should, balding at such an early age doubles your chance for prostate cancer.

Well, I mean, if it's true, it's worth looking into to at least be aware and somewhat knowledgeable about it. The way he presented it was comic relief anyway.

I feel your pain OP, im only 21 and im balding already. Nothing really glaring yet but noticeable.


+1 here! Turning 21 in 2 weeks and my hair is really thinning out. I usually gel my hair, so you really can't see it when it's fixed up, but you can definitely see my scalp when my hair is dry and not gelled up. It sucks.

I completely blame Accutane for this though. My balding started right when I started taking the drug. It was totally worth it to get rid of my acne though. I'll go bald if I have too . Coming from a family where all men started balding by 22 doesn't really help though.

Edit- And a little fun fact. Ejaculating releases DHT into your blood stream and DHT is the reason for most male pattern baldness. So if you're whacking it or fucking twice a day, you might want to take it easy if you actually care about losing hair .
