Balding is caused by DHT, and finasteride inhibits the enzyme (or whatever) that converts testosterone into DHT. That bit about ejaculating releasing DHT is ignorant bullshit. Taking finasteride will reduce the level of DHT in your body (via inhibiting the conversion) thus allowing you to keep and thicken the hair that you currently have. Very high success rate, but a small percentage (1% or so) have side effects, but they go away when you stop taking the drug. This is the only FDA approved "bald drug," and the FDA study is very comprehensive (take a look). There are horror stories about the side effects, but if you're young and exercise regularly you'll be fine, look at the study not what a couple chumps say on the internet. But remember that finasteride simply slows down the process. It might thicken the hair you currently have, but it won't reactivate follicles that are gone. Rogaine does nothing more accelerate the cycle of your hair to when it is the thickest. It does nothing to really stop hairloss, it just makes the hair you have currently looks its best. But it's a pain in the ass to use and is pretty costly. ... Or just shave it. Edit: I'm sure you researched for bald remedies like every other balding guy out there and you probably stumbled across a bunch of "wonder solutions." These are all speculative and have no studies backing them. Only finasteriade (Propecia) or Rogaine have empirical evidence in support. Don't drain your money on products that prey on balding men. Do the research before you buy anything. | ||

You can go for meds propecia/rogaine, get a hair transplant, but all this stuff is really expensive and you are trapped having to pay that stuff for life (or until you're content with not having hair) Don't get a wig, that's just the equivalent of wearing a hat 24/7 lol. Besides that, you will always spend time worrying about your wig and if anybody can tell if it's real or not. If you really do get a HT then go to a reputable doctor. Better to shell out the big bucks then pay cheap and get ripped off... | ||

As much as I can't stand his music, he made a cool thing by putting the hair on eBay and donating the price to charity (of course with all the money he has, he could just donate some of it instead, but w/e). eBay auction You won't find any better. | ||

ive definitely told myself that if i do get a bad roll of dice and start balding, that i wouldnt try any of that bullshit comb-your-remaining-hairs-over-your-bald-patch cuz that just makes it look like you care way too much and it obviously doesn't work  after thinking what i'd personally do if i went bald, i remember coming to the decision that the best and most permanent solution for myself is to just face it straight in the eye and don't even try to hide it. otherwise i know id always be really self conscious of it and it would always bother me, but if i can embrace it for what it is and not be afraid of it, that wont be an issue. probably much easier said than done, but i really do think thats the option that would be the most rewarding to me in the long run. | ||

I have already shaved my head right down to the scalp a few times. I think it works for me, but that's obviously an individual choice. I don't really see any better option. I would suggest shaving your head right now and seeing how you like it. It's only hair, right? I'm pretty sure that the hair would grow back fine if you didn't like the look. Receding hairlines aren't nearly as bad as having a bald spot on the top of your head. This is where I would always suggest a shave. Unless you're 7 feet tall it will be noticeable. Balding is the curse of the manly, testosterone raging man. Just like us it cannot be tamed. | ||
