When I was 20 I had a full, thick head of hair. See pic below:

7 years later and my hair has been reduced to what is best described as an "unmanageable group of weeds". They look ugly, affect my overall appearance which has knocked my confidence hugely (see below links):

I know that life goes on, people grow older and we must accept that we're not going to be young forever BUT is it really that much to ask to have a full head of hair at 28 years old??
I am trying to find a style that will suit what is left of my hair. I thought a buzz cut would be a good idea but someone said it would emphasise my frontal balding (I once had it cut reasonably short and it looked awful, see following link: http://tinypic.com/r/11bsnlz/6).
A completely bald head seems rather drastic. I have heard that transplants are overpriced and dodgy. I am in my second month of using minoxodil and have seen no improvements (as yet!) but will give the medication at least 6 months. I will not use Finasteride as I believe the risk of impotence is just too high. Silicia Complex and Biovitamin tablets didn't do anything for my hair.
Please can someone offer comforting words of advice to help me through this living hell that my life has become.
(Oh, and if you're going to write offensive comments don't bother.. I've heard them all before!).
