hey man, if you want to try, and have some money to burn, i'd say get on propecia ($70/month with prescription) and rogaine foam ($30 or so/month) - you might go through more than 1 can a month of foam (the recommended dosage) because you'll want to rub it all over your head.
these treatments take time - 5+ months - so it's a hefty commitment and very well might not be worth the time and money seeing as you do sport the hairless look well, keeping it buzzed short.
at the same time it might be an interesting experiment just to see.. you never know.. you might be one of those freakish responders who regrows a ton of hair.
i wouldn't go the hair transplant route... it's some pretty serious surgery (look up FUE surgery - follicular unit extraction - on youtube), won't do much for you, and very costly.
hope this helps!
this guy is right on the money.....`find out the best proven current treatments and give it your best shot...don't ask if you should try or is it worth it...just do it and see what happens.
I have not read this entire thread but just up to this guy that I'm quoting it may have been mentioned, maybe not, but the big three is a must try.
finasteride...I cut proscar into 1/4's then take 1/4 a day.
minoxidil foam..the foam is the best..do not substitute it, I buy from amazon or ebay in bulk
nizoral 2% <= in your case use it every day! also from ebay..us requires prescription, canada does not
things that help out:
t-sal improves scalp conditions and helps keep it healthy...only use it 2/week
take hair growth nutrients such as a multivitamin and silica
use the treatments for at least 2 years...your follicles have a lot of phases to go through just don't stop the treatments even though you don't see any growth because the action is taking place at the root. and if still nothing at least you gave it your best shot and never have to look back and wonder what if.
stay away from transplants unless you do some intensive research on it and especially reading other people's nightmare procedures that left them worse off. be realistic on the results I think that's where a lot of people go wrong.
tip:
join a gym and get buffed you'll feel a lot better about your appearance...also look into the headblade...shaving your whole head skin smooth..certainly better than a transplant gone wrong. don't forget that you can still use the treatments with a shaved head!
most importantly do it for yourself and no one else.
I'm going on 34 and have had my best results this year since adding the foam.
