My hairline has been receeding for a few years now, the top of my head is noticably thinned. I just turned 23 yesterday.

Get over it and you'll do better.

Do you really want to spend 10-20 bucks a week on rogaine just to keep your hair?

Balding is not a sign of weakness, it's not ugly, it's not bad, it's just the human body doing what it will.

Buy some clippers from walmart or target and cut your hair down to about 1/4 inch every few weeks. It doesn't look bad and it feels pretty good.

Actually, no. I never had to shave more than once a week until I was 18 and a half.

there's always rogain.

I kinda wish I had that option. I used to have pretty thick blond hair but lost a patch of it in a bleaching disaster. so it's either look like a total freak or keep my head shaved.

My forehead is increasing every year. Oh well, at least I don't have a bald spot or a bad combover...:cool:

I know how you feel. For years I was growing my hair out. I had a ponytail the day my daughter was born, but got it cut shortly after because I looked like a 14 year old father. I noticed then when I got my hair cut that my hairline had receeded over the years and I'm forming a wonderful widows peak. :( I'm about the same age.

A widows peak isn't bad at all...it give a cool look.

The bald spot that I'm getting on the top of my f'n head is not cool.

Doesn't anyone use propecia?

My hair started going thin in my teens. I'm 28 now and it's definitely thin enough to be considered bald, basically. I get my hair cut at least once a month now with a number 1 guard all around. I've gotten a few compliments though on the look so it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

I am glad that I already have a girl though.... ;)

I'm 23 and I'm starting to get grey hairs...

Had my first when I was 16. But I'm glad that my hair is just changing color as opposed to losing it. Men in my family tend not to start going bald til their late 50s. None ever have gotten fully bald but that's because most of them smoked and die before they can.

I'm 21 now and I just began dying my hair.

It's not hard. Just follow the instructions carefully and you can get your natural color. It's like $6 at walmart for Garnier hair color.

And yes all the products looked geared for women. But they work for men too.

Well, to be honest I dont know if I am going bald anymore. I lost some hair earlier this year, and towards the beginning of September it stopped. In fact I am growing it long now. My GF does not seem to think I am going bald either, maybe I was just crazy?
