Default Should I just shave it??

Hi. Im 26 and been losing my hair since maybe 21. It really bothers me as when I wass young I had the thickest of thickest hair. I'm not sure about propecia because of the side effects. I somehow think if i do shave my head everyone would think i was hideous. Any ideas what i should do??

You still have plenty of hair, if I was you, I would get on rogaine within the next year. Also a little bit of concealment would do wonders. I was at your point 2 years ago ( about to be 28 now ) and it nose dived. Luckily I caught it fast enough and started using rogaine, and it is slowly coming back.

Dude, get on propecia. I don't know why people are so scared of sides when they havent tried it. Seriously, try it... You might be one of the 90% that benefits. If you arent, then get sides you go back to square one.

Propecia can even thicken up that mane.

No don't shave. Buzz it with no guard if it bothers you that much, but I'm sure there are many users that would love to have that hair.
