It is with great sorrow that I have to announce the end of my youth.

I'm 28 years old, and half a year ago, I thought I would be young forever.

Coming to this capitalist hellhole, however, showering with largely untreated, chlorine infested water, showed me the errors of my thinking. Not only did my hair thin out significantly, not only turned my skin red and gross, not only do my teeth hurt from water that not even Rick Snyder would consider acceptable... now my hairline is receding.

This is the first blog-post in a series a of a man dealing with baldness, stay tuned for more.

Have you tried boiling the water? At least the water you use for non-bathing stuff.

Are you referring to the small widow's peak that you have? It's hard to say whether your hairline is receding when you don't have a before-and-after picture. Your hair looks fine to me honestly.

Doesn't seem that bad. Most males around 30 slowly recede their hair to a certain point, even if they are not balding. it's natural

Rogaine works for me. My DR says Rogaine is most effective when you've just started losing your hair. I got tired of using it and so my hair is falling out again. I'm too lazy to have hair I guess.

if its a big issue for you try Rogaine.

I don't think that's available in Europe, but there's something called Regain in the UK. Maybe I'll give it a go.

Anyway, this blog will be more about how I deal with the aging process and how I compensate for my fading looks.

for every inch your hair goes back, the girls you attract will be on average two inches thicker in the waist.

rule of 3 yo

rule of 2 is that if there are more than 2 baldies in the room, you must fight to the death

the active ingredient in Rogaine is Minoxidil. make damn sure the product has Minoxidil in it.. if it doesn't then its prolly useless... i think its 5% minoxidil that is given to men.

Rogaine has been tested and approved by the FDA to stop hair loss and create hair regrowth.

most guys are just too lazy to use it. LOL.

My dad uses it and it works for him, but he has a legit bald spot. I don't think it's necessary for something as minor as this, from my limited knowledge.

How do you know the water has anything to do with it? I think it's just popular nowadays to come to a conclusion like that, because everyone is an expert health. Losing hair is normal and it's completely irrelevant to anything. The idea that you are supposed to look in a specific way exists only in your head and it's a pretty stupid one, so you might one to show it the way out.

Hahaha, you should've seen my face when I first saw an actual bold spot on top of my head. And that was when I was 25, man. Chill out and enjoy your awesome hair.

Here's some of the steps I've taken to curb the loss:

- buy a water filter for my shower head
- buy Regaine (still hasn't arrived)
- buy vitamin supplements that are supposed to prevent hair loss
- do more sports, cut out sugar. I read that even if you don't have diabetes, you can develop too high an insulin tolerance which can make your hair fall out.
