    Hairline receding... what do I do??

    So what would you suggest I do? Obviously, as someone with early hair loss, having facial hair is pretty important to me. I wouldn't really wanna risk it. But I also really don't want to be a sitting duck and regret not saving my hairline when I had the chance. We all know regrowth is much, much...

    Starting finasteride as an 18 year old

    Both brother and dad could grow a full beard by 22-24. Buy they also both have a lot more body hair than me to begin with. And it's early-ish I would say, but I wouldn't really call it an NW1. Waiting until 24 would probably be too long. I don't know what to do. Do you think minoxidil has the...

    Hairline receding... what do I do??

    Have you started finasteride and experienced side effects? Or are you just worried of starting and getting them? Because, if the latter, I think people are too worried about side effects. They really only affect about 2% or less of the population, and most will go away with continued use or, in extreme...

    Starting finasteride as an 18 year old

    Well my issue is that I can't really even grow a beard yet... only really some slight stubble underneath my chin and a little bit of sideburns, so I don't think I'm fully done with puberty yet. What do you have to say about that? Am I risking never being able to grow a beard? As someone...

    Starting finasteride as an 18 year old

    Would starting finasteride as an 18 year old be a smart decision? I know that there are always risks... decreased libido, erectile dusfunction, etc., and I'm aware of those and would consider them before committing to taking. But would there be any more adverse effects for taking it at 18? I can't grow...

    Is shaving it all really that bad?

    I don't know if I would call Tim Howard black. After looking it up I found that he did have a black mother but I've always considered him to be white and I think most other people would as well. He definitely looks like a (tan) white guy to me. And as far as being bald looking better on...

    Hairline receding... what do I do??

    Hey everyone, I'm really looking for help here. I'm 90% sure my hairline is receding and, although I caught it relatively early, I'm still worried. What should my first steps be? See a doctor? Buy minoxidil? Get a propecia subscription? I'm only 18 if that makes a difference, but I need to do...

    18 year old male, considering Dutasteride -- opinions?? (Pics)

    Okay, so my whole story is on my two other started threads (with tons of pics on those threads). I just turned 18 years old in May and am unsure if my hair is receding (look at my other thread for info on that; any opinions would really be appreciated!), but it seems like it is. My hair has...

    Is shaving it all really that bad?

    Hahaha I'm an Arsenal fan too my man. Not a fan of Everton... just a fan of Americans (big Timmy). If we get Big Benz we will be unstoppable this season. And I'm from Columbia, SC just to be clear lol

    Is shaving it all really that bad?

    No not me lol. It's a soccer player named Tim Howard. He's the goalkeeper for the US national team (and Everton, if you're a footy fan).

    Again, never said it wasn't a big deal. But I see where you're coming from.

    Is shaving it all really that bad?

    Would you mind uploading or linking me to a pic of your hair now? I really don't want to argue -- we just have different viewpoints. Granted, mine is based on less experience, bit I'd like to see where you're coming from. And no reason to be douchey about it, really. Like I've said, we're in...

    Is shaving it all really that bad?

    Nice quote, I agree. - - - Updated - - - Seriously? One thing I absolutely cannot stand is people taking personal shots at me for offering my opinion. I asbsolutely NEVER said it wasn't a big deal. I'm self-conscious about my hair, yes, that's why I'm on my site. I wouldn't enjoy losing it...

    Is shaving it all really that bad?

    Exactly. Totally agree. It sucks, but it's not the end of the world or of your chances of happiness. And it's frustrating to be referred to as a pessimistic simpleton who has no idea what he's talking about when you're rapidly losing hair and know what you'll be facing soon, don't you think...

    Is shaving it all really that bad?

    I understand and respect that you have personal experience in this issue, and I don't, but still, I respectfully disagree. I think that losing your hair only equals losing your identity if you let it. I personally don't think all bald guys look like they were produced in the same factory. They...
