Did you give up on pursuing a career because of your hair loss ? No. It hasn't gotten that bad. Have you removed yourself from the dating scene since you started losing hair ? Yes, but not really because of my hair loss. Have you accepted the fact that you're likely going to be alone unless you...

I feel in very similar ways to a lot of what you said. At my heart I am also young, free-spirited, and lighthearted, and my receding hairline definitely does NOT congrue with that at all. Luckily my widow's peak is far enough down and the treatment that I've been using has thickened up my hair...

Haha. But I doubt it was a hairpiece because he had it combed back and his hairline was completely visible :I Also, I would like to respond to the several posts about how some men don't ever go bald and how I shouldn't have used the word "all," with the following things. I don't know if you...

If you have receding temples but a widow's peak, growing your hair out and parting it in the middle can mask the recession pretty well. The lowest point of my widow's peak is at the level of a normal to low hairline, and since my hair is shoulder length, parting in the middle hides most of the...

Oddish is my favorite Pokemon. Anyway, I have not noticed this supposed "trend" of gay men shaving their heads. Shaved pubes, on the other hand, is a trend which I question. Trimming the bush is great, but shaving is gross.

I have been diagnosed with depression and I have been experiencing suicidal thoughts once every 1 or 2 weeks for the past couple months. I am on three mood regulating medications and I'm in the process of getting regular psychotherapy. My depression and suicidal thoughts stem from many things...

Yeah, if you are not a troll then you need to see somebody. You have body dysmorphic disorder or something.

So I've read that "brain fog" is a symptom of finasteride that some people are reporting. I have actually felt this brain fog before I went on finasteride, and the solution I've found that works for me is to spend 30 minutes or more outside. This sensation for me began just this year, and I had...

I think it looks fine. And so is it attached to your head somehow? I got confused when you said you woke up and didn't style it or anything, haha. All in all, I'm just glad you're happy with it! I think people on here are being too critical. It looks within the bounds of normal human features...

My hair is more important than my sexual function. This is for several reasons, including but not limited to: expressing myself creatively is more important than the release that sex provides; I already know I am going to adopt if I decide to be a parent; I have anxiety about sex because i have...

I would be surprised if you see results from the minoxidil since your hairline is already so low. But, if you got a prescription to the finasteride, I supposed your doctor thinks you have some hairloss. I'm pretty sure you'll be fine.

Of course it's progress! And if they are dark and/or the same color as your head hair color, they are probably not vellus hairs. Vellus hairs are the whiter/colorless hairs that grow all over your body. I have been putting minoxidil on the hairless parts of my temples for a year and I can tell the...

This is kind of a PSA for people who think just rogaine is enough (like I did for a while). Finasteride is the best weapon we have right now :\

It looks like you caught it pretty early. See if the minoxidil does the job, then look into finasteride. Also, try eating pumpkin seeds every day. Pumpkin seed oil was shown to thicken hair of men with male pattern baldness in one study.

Yesterday I saw a 50 or so year old guy with the hairline I had in 8th grade with no thinning. Some people just have it made.
