I am 23 and always had the feeling that i was going to go bald... since i was 17 years old i kept saying that i'm going bald, so now everyone thinks i'm joking.. Recently i've been loosing a ton of hair in the shower and all everywhere else.. So i decided to take 2 mirrors to check out the status on the top of my head.. and i will not forget what i saw for the rest of my life.. Scalp.. :( Any balding men out there?? what did you do when u first figured out you were balding? Should i go see a dermo?? Please help... i'm to young.. my life is just beginning.. :(

I'm 21 and I have my share of gray hairs. And I've had a crappy, receding-looking hair line since I was born, and thin hair. I hate my head.

How does balndess work again? You inherit it from your mother's side but it skips a generation? So if your mom's dad had a full head of hair, you will too? 'Cause all my mom's brothers are bald.

start taking some propecia, that stuff works and hold out and hope that in a few years someone will come up with a better method,
either that or keep taking it until you find a hot chick to marry you then once married just go bald and get fat like most americans.

I have a big dilemma then.. I'm way to young to walk around bald.... and i can't really afford propetia and rogaine for the rest of my life.. and I can't shave my head cause if you saw the shape of it.. You'd understand.. its shaped kinda like an egg... Have you seen the movie cone heads.. i would look like that.. what do you guys think i should do?? i think i have a nother year or 2.. before i go completely bald.. Lets get this straight.. My mom's dad is bald, and her brother is bald.. my dad has a full head of hair, all his brothers do too, so does his dad, and his dad.. He never had any men go bald in his family.. I heard that baldness from the mom's side was just a myth.. or is that just wishful thinking??

not much you can do about going bald. propecia gives a lot of men "man boobs" and rogaine you'll have to use forever.

For any of you balding men out there.. u know its hard.. if not impossiblie to just let it go.. I heard that going bald was the most traumatizing experience of a healthy man. Sigh... So do you have to take propetia forever? since i still have a lot of hair left.. can't i just take it till the falling stops then stop?? And if it will give me boobs.. man.. thats a tough one.. man boobs or a bald head.. what would u pick?? boobs or no hair?

Trim it short, so it'll be less noticeable.

Or you could be be bold, be beautiful, be yourself, be bald. And I don't mean that in a teasing or derogatory manner. :)

Shave it baby. Looks cool and eliminates one more thing to pack when going on trips.


In my t-bag I keep soap, razor, deorderant, shower slippers, toothbrush and paste and asprin. Thats it.


Being a guy is cool sometimes.:)

Seriously, if hairs are leaving, you are either very stressed out, its hereditary, or you aren't being romantic enough...




And would it kill you to tell them you love them.... ?

Not for me I always hated hair and shaved it off several times in HS and college. Now though I have an excuse. I wish I was asian and had no leg and arm hair.

No hair of course.

The thought just makes me quiver

Oh stop worrying about it. I'm 30 and I'm pretty much bald. I don't even think about it anymore. If it's such a big deal get a hair implant or wear a wig or something.
Oh and mine started about 22 or 23 also. You may end up being pretty bald by 30 also.

No, it's not a myth. I learned about it in Biology last year. Sorry :(

I've had people telling me that i was going bald since middle school (grade 7 i think) so i know i am, especially since my mom's side is bald
