I shave my head pretty close, and I carry a big stick ;) Good women will see past the balding to your personality. :)

Balding remedies are like diets--there's always the latest and greatest and "THIS ONE REALLY WORKS!".
Just accept it. Why people think they can comment to someone about theirr losing hair or being bald is beyond me....

BYW, all you bald or will-be bald folx: do us all a favor and do not comb over. It looks like hell and doesn't fool anyone except you.
Basically, the longer your hair is when bald, the worse it looks. Get a short haircut or shave it.

Nioxin doesn't work. I was on the stuff for a bout 6-7 months. I used ALL their products and I spent alot using it. I think it actually accelerated my hair loss.

Has anybody ever wondered why we only go bald in the places we don't want to go bald?

Why do we only go bald on our head? Why don't we go bald on our underarms, chest, back, or butt? I wouldn't even mind going bald in the naughty region.

But noooooooo! We only go bald on the one place we don't want to go bald.

Is God angry at us?!?!

I see that there are dozens and dozens of "treatments" for balding out there but I'm sure some are "old wives
tales" and some are from swindlers and some are probably dangerous....


Has anyone found anything that helps or works for them?

Take care.

Keep your hair short. Having short hair creates that 'less is more' look. No woman can resist a delusional, balding guy.:confused:

well, the only way to stop balding for sure is to get castrated.

Guessing that is not a viable option, i would, again reccomend 5% minox and finasteride.

This works, I sh1t you not. I've been using this for about a month, and though I didn't have a bad problem to begin with, the areas that were thinning are now growing some new hair. Much better results than what I had with Rogaine, and without the flaking or irritation. Too early to tell just how much it's going to fill in, but it is definitely helping. Not using the HGH that's listed there, just the Zinc/B6 with some lemon juice [about 1 ounce per batch] added for vitamin C.
 

Wow! Speak of the devil and the devil appears. This came at the right time. Thanks for the input folks. Someone I know might need this. :Q

Personally, I love the Patrick Stewart types. I don't mind seeing someone like that. I always thought he was good looking.

On the other hand, those desperate men that are going bald and lose at least half but won't shave everything just turn me off. Ugh!

"Do like i did, Just shave your head and get it over with. Besides, when you have a shaved head, women always want to touch it. Specially at the boobie bars."

Sure! I love it all shaved. :D

Hey Gonad. Do you spend a lot of time rubbing the solution into your scalp? I must be using too much or something because I go through a 4 oz. bottle in a week.

Where are you noticing regrowth? On your crown area or front hairline?

Take it easy.

I was diagnosed with Male Pattern Baldness about a year ago. I noticed a sorta slow but constant hair loss during the previous year or two.

My doctor put me on PROPECIA and It works!

Insignificant hair loss over the last year.

Propecia works? Okay, what about the side effects?

How much $$$ does Propecia cost?

Side effect is sexual dysfuntion in some... :D

I think a 30 pill package is $50 or something like that... 180 pill package is over $300... i believe you have to take them twice a day.

Just check the website...

Propecia and Rogaine combined works even better. Not that i'd know... but i'm getting ready. :)
