I think I am. It concerns me.


Anyone else going thru a trial and tribulation?

Am literally Rogaining the **** out of my scalp...

I thought I was the other day, when I looked at my hairline in the mirror.. But I think, looking back, that my hairline has always just been thin around my temples. I hope, anyway.

Those medications that combat balding have some scary, potentially permanent side effects and I don't want to take them unless I know I'm balding. I'm just afraid I won't notice until it's too far gone to recover and then my only other available option will be suicide.

Scarier than balding in your twenties?

oh dear save up for implants

I think my hairline receded a biT from wearing my hair in a ponytail too much
I don't want to be bald

Well some of the potential side effects include permanent loss of sexual function and drive, so...maybe.

One former user reported he started developing a female body shape after he stopped taking the med, too. There are whole web forums dedicated to discussing the various negative effects guys have had from taking it.

I had a small bald spot at the top of my head and Rogaine foam brought it back within 2 months. Also eating or taking cayenne pepper supplements stimulates blood flow which is good for it.

my dad is 65 and has a full head of hair

and my grandpa is 80 and has all his hair as well

so I think i'm good

I'm scared beacuse one of my uncles is bald in his 50's

Are you talking about propecia?

I feel the same way

girl this is never an option!

As far as I know, the topical ointments ain't so bad (Rogaine/ minoxidil); It's the pharmaceuticals that can't be trusted (propecia/ finasteride).

Then again, society is cruel, so no pain no gain?

Caffeine shampoo is supposed to slow/help the loss.

I thought my hairline was receding until I looked at a photo of myself from high school and it was in the same place

I'm blessedT

no my hairline has always been ****ed up though so i just always wear hats

Yeah. I realize millions of guys take the stuff and it's only a small subset that those side effects affect, but the few effects are severe enough to be deterring.

I'll get a hair transplant.

I've been in a stressful situation 7 years ago and I started losing my hair afterward

The gays don't like the bald.

I might as well monk it up. Here I come, Taiwan. Or India. Or something.

Just take a razor and shave it clean.

I have good hair genes but a big forehead
