I'm a 22 year old male and I'm starting to bald!!!

[Angelus]

:cry:

The top of my head is starting to thin out...and I'm only 22!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

What can I do to prevent anymore hair from falling out and/or getting thinner?

[Lucky Luciano]

1. Your problem will be solved if b*sh loses the election.

[sundog]

2. live with it, we'll love you anyway...

I thinned too, bro... I used to have dreads for god's sake...

[Angelus]

3. When did you start to thin?

I don't want to live with it. I wanna keep my full head of hair. :(

[sundog]

6. 25...

33 now, but I'm not bald-- just thinner... I used to have a massive mane of curly locks...

just chill out... fuck rogaine

if other people are more concerned about your thinning hair than your inner self, then they're not worth a rat's ass anyway...

4. Saw Palmetto supplements

I've seen quite a few studies that Saw Palmetto works as good as Propecia for hair loss. YOu can get it at a health food store.

If you do a search for saw palmetto and hair loss in google, you'll find some good sites with info.

[Angelus]

7. Hey...I'll check it out.

Thanks. :hi:

[NightTrain]

5. I started going bald at 20.

It sucks, but I'm not about to waste thousands of dollars on some bullshit "cure." I've got much better things to do with my limited resources!

[proud patriot]

8. My husband starting balding at 21

:hi: He's sexy as all get out :hi:

He's 35 now and keeps it real short ...the buzz cut

[Doosh]

9. if this was 15 years ago, you'd have a problem

but now we have rogain, hair weaves, hair replacement surgery. You don't have to be bald for long.

trust me, putting things into perspective this is the LEAST of your problems in life!

Sometimes baldness stops, you may only lose 15-20% of your hair and that's it for the rest of your life.

how is your genetics? is your father bald? grandfathers?

my dad still has all his hair at 46, and his father kept all his hair into old age. My grandfather on my mothers side lost about 30-40% of his hair in his late 20's/early 30's but kept about 60% of his hair into his 70's, though it was thin it covered a good portion of his scalp.

I'm 25 and still have all my hair, but who knows what lurks around the corner.

[Angelus]

11. Is there anything I can take to slow down or stop it?

Anything over-the-counter and/or cheap?

[Doosh]

14. the only sure fire

solution would be hair replacement like the one's done by Bosley, very expensive but they look great, they give you your real hair back.

other than that, propecia and rogain is the best you can do, but there is no natural cure for baldness.

you know it's common for men to sort of shed some hair, have there hair thin out a little in there early 20's, usually around 21. That's not only the hair on the scalp, but all over the body. My hair was thicker during my teen years and thinned a little into my 20's, for a while I thought I was losing my hair, but it was just a natural process. Maybe that's what's happening to you.

[Angelus]

15. Yeah, probably.

All the older males in my family are bald on the top of their head or have thin hair.

:cry:

[Doosh]

16. re

when did they start losing it? does anybody in your family have naturally thick hair (not necessarily super curly, it could be wavy or straight but thick) or do you all have straight, thin hair when you were younger?

how noticeable is your hair loss? maybe it has something to do with stress or taking a certain type of medication?

[Angelus]

18. It's not very noticeable.

It's just thinning on the top of my head.

No, no male in my family has thick hair. It's all either thin or bald on top.

I am under a lot of stress as of late, so that could be it. I'm also on an antidepressant, but I don't think that would do it. :shrug:

[PartyPooper]

10. So, now can we call you Loss Angelus?

Sorry, I just couldn't resist!

:evilgrin:

[Angelus]

12. Haha.

No. :(

[Philosophy]

13. I new a guy who was bald before he graduated high school

He was still really popular - he was the quarterback of our football team and played on the basketball team too.

[TheWizardOfMudd]

17. Don't take this as an insult

Be sure to wash your hair thoroughly, including massaging your scalp very well. That way, no pores get clogged.

I'm not saying you're not a clean person. :)

Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be totally wrong!

[Angelus]

19. I take two showers a day...

once when I get up in the morning and another one after i'm done working out.

[TheWizardOfMudd]

21. Yes, but do you take time to massage the scalp well with shampoo?

I told you I'm not saying that you are not a clean person. :)

A hair dresser of mine, years ago, told me to massage the scalp well to help keep from losing hair due to "clogging." Of course, she may have been full of shit. I have no idea.

Just passing it along!

[coloradodem2005]

20. You are going to hate me for this.

I am 24 and my hair still grows like a weed.

[pansypoo53219]

23. you should see my brother

a woman would kill for hi hair. we al got the good genes on hair. my grandfather who passes away at 84 was only a tad bald at the back of his head, my great uncle who died in his ninties still had nice wavy hair. his 3 sons are a mixed bag. 2 have uncle clarences hair and poor jeryl has his mom's-usualy you get your mom's genes.
sorry if that makes you feel bad. my bro may have great hair, but he is an idiot dittohead.
i have a thing for grey hair. i bet their are women who like bald.

[pansypoo53219]

22. best solution

don't care.
it probably means you have a lot of testosterone.it isn't the end of the world.

[PittPoliSci]

24. I'm 19 and mine is.

So don't worry...it happens to the best of us.

[Angelus]

25. .

:kick:

[LastKnight]

26. shave your head if it gets too thin.

plenty of dignified people have had shaved heads...

that and it will look better than male pattern baldness.

-LK

[Angelus]

27. Yes...I would have to agree.

Hey, are feeling better today?

[LastKnight]

37. feelin a bit better, thanks for asking...

and just think, you could have that whole Maynard James Keenan thing goin on... and anyone who looks like the lead singer to not one but two great bands(yea, i think both APC and tool are great, so sue me lol) has to be cool.

[baldguy]

28. I've got a pic of me on the day I graduated from high school.

The classic reverse u-shape hairline was already in evidence. Since then, its been in full retreat.

[BBradley]

29. I'm 17 and I can already see my hair line receding. Screw you mom and dad.

[SmokingJacket]

30. Male pattern baldness is sexy.

My 34-yr old husband now has a bald-spot the size of a tea saucer, rapidly taking over his hairline, and I think he's never looked more masculine, mature, and sexy. Other male friends have gone really short (to hide the thinness) and I think that looks great too.

Men never believe it, but women either don't care about thinning hair or they think it's hot.

[Burma Jones]

31. It's Clinton's Fault (n/t)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

32. Been bald since 19 or so. Live with it. Embrace it. Don't worry a

bit, you are still who you are.



Hairless and proud since, oh about 1972.

[CJCRANE]

33. Toughen up and get a crew cut n/t

.

[elperromagico]

34. I'm in the same boat, man. 22 year old balding male checking in.

Copious teasing with a comb has made it possible for me to give the hair on top the appearance of thickness - when I tell people I'm going bald, they generally say, "No you aren't."

I also have the barber/hairstylist cut the hair on the back and sides about an inch shorter than the hair on top. When even that isn't working, I just shave the whole damned head, as I recently did. It's not the easiest solution (particularly shaving the back of the head), but at least it's consistent and saves on the cost of shampoo. ;)

[Teddy_Salad]

35. Avacor

My father-in-law swears by the stuff.

Here's a pic of him before he used Avacor.


And here's him afterwards, even back playing soccer!
I swear, the stuff is amazing!!


;)

[Hand]

36. What can you do?...

Nothing. You're doomed. Doomed.

Doomed...

:evilgrin:

[Taverner]

38. Rogaine KINDA works

It works better for some than others

If anything, it will prevent hairloss.

If you try it, get the generic brands, go full strength and use it twice a day religiously.
