Hey folks, I'm a early twenties male with hair loss history on my mom's side (the dreaded mom's side! ah!)
My hair loss has been slow, but as I've been in college I've noticed my hairline gradually recede, slowly enough that my friends are like "nothing's happening" or my parents are like "you have your father's hair". My hair is still thick, I tell them, but it is receding!
I shaved my head for awhile freshman year, so I've seen myself bald and it's okay, I could rock the shaved head, but losing hair is nonetheless something that hits the ego and sense of self image!
I've been on Rogaine for a couple months now but have started to experience some side effects I don't like, which I'm going to post about and hope to get some answers for in the Side Effects forum.
So greetings, thanks for providing this space to talk about this stuff.
