Hopefully I am not heading towards a horseshoe of hair left on my head. Even the Statham look requires more than a NW5 I think.... I will begin Rogaine / Nioxin and keep everyone on here updated. Also will be looking in to the forums here to see specifically what vitamins might be beneficial. Propecia unfortunately has some side effects that this 23 year old doesn't want to live with. Who wants to be balding with ED....? Try and keep what I have until a hair transplant is a feasible option and than make a decision weather I want to start down the path of HT's every half a decade or so (seems pretty common for people with good looking hair on here to have multiple sessions with their HT Doc) or if I want to just make peace with it and maybe science will amaze us all one day. Concealers...aka rugs or hair sprays that..spray hair? Probably not going to fly with the lifestyle I live (beach town, boating, skiing, you name it). I will be researching more about what these concealers are. Also here is my self esteem booster.... http://www.celebritywonder.com...Wallpaper_2_1280.jpg My wallpaper...a bald guy who is looking great. Honestly, we're all going bald. My girlfriend said an average human head (as per her cosmetology school teacher) loses 100 hairs per day. I think instead of pulling my hair out trying to save my hair...I am going to just do what I can within reason, but not stress, and embrace the beautiful life of baldness that awaits me. Also off topic, and completely irrelevant. You guys should run folding@home. Google it, its disease research. We don't have a disease, but still. It uses your computer to try and find out how proteins fold, etc. I have high hopes for science, and with the computer power we have...the money to be made...and the scientific experiments taking place in labs all over the world. As balding men I think we have a hairier future ahead of us. I got 99 problems, but my hair ain't one of them....

Mothers side of the family kind of fell apart. She passed away a year ago also. So kind of hard to see them all today. But my moms side of the family had better hair than my dads side of the family. Except my moms nephew who is a year older than me. We both have pretty identical looking heads I think when it comes to hairloss. I believe I have taken most of my dads genetics because everyone says I resemble my dad. If I end up with my dads hairline, which I think...I will. I will be chasing my hairline until it finally stops where his is now. My dad would need a good amount of donor grafts to get a conservative hairline I believe. I am wondering if I should make peace and go for the Jason Statham look (already pretty lean). I have 6-7 years until I am 30. And it sounds ridiculous to be going to a hair transplant doctor and getting anything done before you are 30. I read that hairloss is rapid at first, but then slows down. If this is the case I hope I went through the rapid phase here, and now its the slow down period. I wish I would have started taking meds at the first signs of a receeding hairline though. Maybe I could have a few more hairs up top...

and another shot.

Well I've been reading the forum and I think I am ready to post. I am 23 and have something like a 2A moving in to the 3's eventually hairline. I have my camera battery charging now so by the end of this conversation hopefully I should be able to snap a few pictures. My girlfriend is a hairstylist and she suggested I get this stuff called Nioxin. She got this whole kit. A shampoo, conditioner, and after shower comb in foam. Just got on this, before this I was just using a Redken "Density" formula shampoo and conditioner. I noticed a receeding hairline when I was about 19 or 20 though. It has gotten to the point where I can't keep my hair quite as long as I like to and continue to spike it. I'm doing all the kind of tricks you guys probably know about in terms of styling my hair to try and make it look as full as possible. Also dying my hair lighter colors. From the sounds of it to slow this hair loss I need to get on rogaine, propecia, and some vitamins. Hopefully this will slow things down and buy me some time for technology and better hair transplant surgery. Surgery photos...I'll be honest, scare the shit out of me. They look straight up nasty. I couldn't imagine having that kind of scaring for a few months, and then the chance of having a nasty scar that will eventually show from say a bad transplant or something. This also looks expensive, but what the heck...all these chemicals are going to be costing me a few hundred a year. Some of the HT results look amazing though. They look fake even. Like some photoshop work almost, or a different head entirely. Looking at my dads hairline...he is pretty bald. Not a complete loss of hair on his top, but it starts at basically maybe his ears? With that being said I would love your guys input. Also really, how much science is going on with hairloss?
