Hey all, thank you for the replies. I thought I'd try to snap a few different pics so here they are. The original ones I had a 'wet head' and perhaps made it look worse than it did. They were also taken with a webcam. On the same token, I know I'm definitely balding and I want to do something about it.
My back and sides grow and remain relatively thick. However, being I'm in the military, I can't grow it too long.
I'm not sure what my father's/grandfather's pattern was (They are both deceased) but I know they both had plenty of growth in the back and on the sides. The tops were both pretty thin in their later years.
As far as shaving my head, I can't really go that route. I'm 6 ft 3 and weigh about 195 lb. I'd look even MORE funny completely bald than I do now!
The main thing I want to start with is the forehead area, if that's an option. If the docs say use Propecia, I'll start that. I'll keep reading information and keep you all posted.
Anyway here are some pics fresh out of bed. Be warned.
