aw, hec
I am finally admitting it to myself. I am going bald.

My father was bald as were both of my grandparents so it was inevitable. I always knew the day would come but I was never really prepared for it.

Friends and family have commented on it too.

I would appreciate any advice on how to cope, GBS.

Thank you.

Bald is sexy these days. See above.

At least quickly.

Shave it close to at least give your scalp some time to get used to the air and sunlight so you don't look like an escaped mental patient.

You know I would try to think of something funny to put here but ill just pass on that and threaten people with a + 2 board with a nail in it.
Embrace the bald, it'll be less painful that way. I'm rocking the male pattern baldness myself at the moment. Got what amounts to a widows mountain.

Don't do a comb-over. That poo poo doesn't fool anyone. Shave your head and rock it like Patrick Stewart or work out and get brawny as gently caress.

You already do then. BUT ok fine. I've got a friend that takes something to keep his hair from falling out. If you nip it in the bud you can keep your hair and perhaps get even hairier. I forget what it's called but he still has a full and thick head of hair so I guess it works. I'll ask him what it's called tomorrow and post it here. If I recall it's not cheap though and requires a prescription.

I tried this around 2006 when I first started and used it for several months but didn't see anything positive happen, so I quit. More hair is falling out every day but I still have a pretty thick head of hair (unless wet :cry:)

It takes a minimum of 6 months to work, you'll see full results after 1 year

It was somewhere around 8-9 months when I quit/couldn't afford it anymore. I may give it another go but I'll probably just shave it in the next year or two.

There, OP, try the Propecia.
