the less you care the more baller you are. Being bald is awesome I shaved my head and got more chicks than when I had a full set of hair and when I entered a room People were afraid of me. Chicks dig bald guys Its manly its cause you have so much testosterone you are getting bald so take it as a sign that you are FUCKING MANLY. MAN UP AND BE PROUD.

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 .


Hmm, I might actually need to cut back some of my "extra curricular activities".

Only thing you can really do at this point (as a preventative measure) is either go with Propecia (or generic finasteride) or Rogaine.

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.

I love my hair. Too bad I have a family history of male pattern baldness that goes back to the goddamn middle ages. I don't know what the hell I'll do if/when I start losing my hair, so I keep it long while I have it.

I'd just shave it bro.

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...

For at least $6700, you can get a Justin Beiber's front hair transplantation :

Yes, it's true. 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).

though i myself am not bald, my dad, my gramps, and all my uncles are bald. which leaves a fair chance that i too will be one day.

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.

this isn't really a solution, but a thing to cheer you up: my mom's always said that 9/10 balding men are wealthy. i think it's a chinese saying, haha -- but it seems to be pretty true for the people around me. so, yeah, there's a chance you'll be extremely rich!

I'm starting to have my hairline recede much more in the past year or so. Also, my hair has just been growing much more unevenly than in the past. It does not grow as much in the front as it does on the sides and the back.

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.
