    My hair looks like this guy below, just not painfully as obvious, lol. Where he's got the two obvious missing patches of hair, I actually have hair, but it's obvious that in those two areas that my hair is 50 times thinner than the other areas of my head.

    Is there anything that actually works aside from $1000 hair transplants which I could never afford anyway? I haven't been keeping up to date with what works on the market in terms of propecia, rogaine, etc.

    I subject myself to the hair loss hecklers.

    I looked into transplants. I'm not receeding badly, but I'd rather get it started before people can tell I've done anything.

    Looking at celebs like McCaughney, Affleck and Piven tell me this is the best way to go. I'd start saving now.

    Basically to get it done well, expect to pay at least $4/hair.

    When I was at UH, I used to play basketball against a guy that was 19 or 20 and half bald. The guy looked like he was 45.

    Mine started falling out when I was about 20 or 21. I started noticing hair everywhere (especially filling up my cap) before I noticed anything else. Now, it's pretty thin. But I don't worry about it. I keep it relatively short and haven't had any problems. I'll cut it even shorter when it gets worse, but while I have a little to comb, I'll keep it.

    Buncha vain beetches. Cut it short and deal. Be a man.

    If you go the "surgical" route, everyone will know. You're not a movie star, therefore you don't get movie star transplant surgeons. We will know, and we will laugh.

    Unless your head is shaped like Herman Munster, I'd just shave it really short.

    Isn't bald in anyway?

    LOL I'm sure that will make the OP feel a LOT better. Get on Propecia. It is the most effective FDA approved hair loss drug. Rogaine isn't very effective from what I have heard.

    i'm thinning like crazy and my hair recede. I cut it really short. Saves me money on getting hair cuts.

    But i'm good looking so i have that to fall back on. ;)

    Good advice. Better yet, buy Proscar and cut it in four pieces and one piece per day. :cool:

    dude, you most likely just have a widow's peak. it's not that big of a deal. i have one. my hair isn't thinning. it's just shaped like that. i don't think it's receded much since.
