Are you going bald?

My Dad has had long wavy hair when he was younger, but now hes a lot older it seems to be thinning at the back with a bald patch, and i think this might be happening to my Older brother as well. No doubt it will eventually get me, but i have a long way to go (Hopefully).
 
Mine started thinning at about 22, hairline started receding a bit as well, and yes, it did bother me. Not to the point that I started complaining to it to my friends or strangers, but to the point where friends or work colleague's would start to comment on it.

But I did something about it.

Started taking generic propecia and also using regaine, for the outlay of maybe 30 quid a month. Now I'm 28, I have manged to keep my hairline intact and stop my hair thinning completely and regrow a lot of what I lost, to the point now you would have to really look for it to see any thinning at all.

Is it worth it? Hell yeah, I know some people think it's vain, but I was able to do something about it so I did.

If you dont mind me asking, any side effects with the propecia?
 
I started going bald when I was in my mid-20s. At first I didn't want to believe it and kind of brushed my hair in a way to cover it up (not quite a comb-over :p). Then I started shaving it shorter and shorter until I just attacked it with a razor.

I actually prefer being bald now. My hair was completely unmanageable anyway, and it frustrated the hell out of me, and I think I look better without it.
 
Yes, started years ago, it's been one of the worst things that happened me thus far, I've never got over it as my hair meant a lot to me in terms of my identity, I used to have long sandy blond hair, I remember my boss dragged me into the local hair dressers and paid to have my hair cut, even the girl in the shop said she felt guilty cutting my hair, ever since then I have worn a hat/cap EVERYDAY in public for around the last 8 years of my life in, I'm actually welling up just thinking about it tbh, not fair at all.
 
I started receding at the temples in my mid 20s, but it went a bit and now looks to have just about stopped going back any further. Hopefully I won't go properly bald as I'm one of those guys with an odd shaped head.
Tried shaving my head when I was at uni and people commented that I looked like an alien!!
If I'd does happen it's just one of those things though and I won't let it bother me too much.

32 now and next to no grey hairs though

They're not ugly by any means but they're hardly male models either - most of their `gifts` were earned through good diet and hard work in the gym, not by chance of birth.

Thats kinda the point I was making about the earlier post.

If an ugly has hair and doesnt look after himself he's no better off really than a bald guy with the same other features - so its not the baldness part thats the crux of the perceived problem.

Im sure if Jason Statham or the others mentioned didnt look after themselves then they wouldnt get the same attention - like Danny devito (exaggerated example) :D

None at all, sex life is all good, no issues down below which seems to be the main complaint.

I use generic propecia as the brand name stuff is really expensive.

Mind trusting me a link? If not to pricey may give that a go, really dont want to lose any more of the fuzz!

I know how you feel. Ever since I lost it I've felt stripped of my identity.

Everyone says I look better now but it's not about how they feel, it's about how I feel. I'm so upset about it, I just don't feel like myself.
 
I started going grey when I was 20+ and I'm only noticing a receding hairline now at 27.

To be completely honest... I am worried. I used to say when I was younger that it wouldn't bother me and that when it started happening to me, I'd just shave it off (like so many in this thread have said.) However I've tried shaving it really low and I look completely ridiculous, it doesn't suite me at all.

I don't really consider myself to be vain though, its more of a self confidence issue I think.
