    There's some kind of advertising for scalp micropigmantation.

    Just accept that it is part of aging. It is what it is.

    Your best bet is to move to a community which has a mass quantity of bald people where you would feel normal, or better yet a community which has generally unattractive people all around like an industrial town or Cleveland so you can be above the norm.

    Nothing unfortunately. I don't use finasteride simply because it can cause impotency problems and at 30 I'd rather having a receding hairline. B-Vitamins, Nizoral Shampoo, and generic rogaine keeps my treading water with my hair loss and hopefully a huge medical breakthrough will happen in the next decade.

    For me, my hair loss is much less noticeable when I grow my hair out a bit and have a clean cut, not much gel/product type of hair cut. Less hair product means the thinning is less noticeable. I feel for ya, but everyone is right that the more you "accept it" the better off.

    I'm 28 years old. I don't have any baldness on the crown of my head but my hairline has been receding pretty bad over the last couple of years.

    At first, it wasn't that bad, if I grew out my hair but now its been getting worse that I can't really pull it off anymore lol.

    I've shaved my head down to a 1. I don't really have the head shape to pull it off the bald look but at least I work out.

    I may be bald, but I'm the biggest, baldest, strongest bald guy you know.:)

    Please note that I do note claim to be a poet by any means... but I am a bald man
    A poem, by ChievousFTFace:

    Through denial and shame,
    I thought I was going insane.
    Seeing that the follicles per square inch
    were steadily decreasing on my mane.

    Many a fortnight I cried and worried,
    my sex appeal and youth are dead.
    The cruel force of mother nature
    is taking its brutal course on my head.

    Hair products into differing styles
    To cover the shame and the facts.
    Shampoos, conditioners, creams, and pills
    To stop this madness in its tracks.

    Staring at the mirror and my thinning crop,
    One day I was blessed the thought.
    I am not the first nor will I be the last
    to fighting this insidious onslaught.

    Jason Statham, Sean Connery, Bruce Willis
    even The Rock can teach you a lesson.
    Without much on their scalp,
    the women still desire a bedding session.

    Here is the secret for you can't fight
    the fact that the tide only goes way.
    Clean and confident from head to toe,
    Is the look real men portray.

    It's time to make the only purchases
    to heal your pride's contusion.
    Four, Three, Two, One on the clippers
    or simply a razor blade is the solution.

    I looked in the mirror today
    My eyes just didn't seem so bright
    I've lost a few more hairs
    I think I'm going bald

    I think I'm going bald

    Seems like only yesterday
    We would sit and talk of dreams all night
    Dreams of youth
    And simple truths
    Now we're so involved
    So involved with life

    Walk down vanity fair
    Memory lane everywhere
    Wall Street shuffles there
    Dressed in flowing hair

    Once we loved the flowers
    Now we ask the price of the land
    Once we would take water
    But now it must be wine
    Now we've been
    And now we've seen
    What price peace of mind

    Take a piece of my mind

    My life is slipping away
    I'm aging every day
    But even when I'm grey
    I'll still be grey my way

    Permanent solution? Get a hair transplant like LeBron did. It's pricey but if you can afford it do it.

    Try changing your shampoo. Try Nizoral. It might help you keep more of what you have for longer.

    The only concern you should have is to check your thyroid hormones level . TSH,T3&4.

    There is a good sale on fedoras this July 4th weekend if you are interested. These are always fashionable.

    thanks for all the constructive feedback

    I am actually getting the moles looked at for potential removal soon. Hopefully they can be removed fairly easily and cheaply.

    Still doesnt help the ears/shape and pale skin situation.

    People with chest hair or back hair go bald easily

    The bald look is in and if you have thinning hair shaving it all off will probably make you look 5-10yrs younger. That was the first thing people told me when I finally surrendered to father time and shaved it off.

    Aussie Rocket, I have a friend who has had hair transplantation, which definitely works. The most natural looking method, and the most expensive, is follicular unit transplantation. Also, you've probably heard of Rogaine, but it doesn't do a great job of preventing male pattern baldness, in my experience, slowing hair loss more than preventing it. Better than doing nothing if you want to hang on to the hair you have, but not much, in my opinion. You might have a better result, or you might not. You could also accept your fate, as I have. As the Stones put it, what a drag it is getting old. Good luck!
