    I'm 32, and have just returned from a second 'small' bulk up HT with Dr Feller, which I'm hoping should sort me out for a long, long time. I started receding when I was 18 as well. I've now - all being well - got a lovely thick new hairline to look forward to!

    hope it goes well for you mate!

      I guess i am the odd man out on this one. I had a ridiculously thick maine up until year and a half ago. Started receding at 21, then last year i noticed my crown get thin. I felt like crap for about a week. Now i am 24...

      Then i pulled out the buzzer and put it all behind me. I got over it real quick. This seems more than just a HAIR issue, seems like a mental one.

      Kind of like when females get breast augmentations because they are mentally unstable. I'd suggest seeing someone in person and getting some stuff off your chest. I mean people are born with lot more serious stuff and deal with things that make gradual hair loss seem like an utter joke, and people pull through no problem.

        Give it a few years and you either accept it or be depressed by it, you'll notice life changes for you in funny ways. Of course there more serious stuff out there, but then why are you on here if you dont seem to care about your hair?

          I agree with you, but how did you end up here if hair is a non-issue for you?

                I already gave it a few years, i started receding at 21, in the past 3 years i went from a perfect straight beautifully thick hairline to a receded DOME on each side, LOL. I thought that was the only worry, then about last year my friends noticed that my crown was much thinner than the rest of my head.... been about a year since then... and i'm over it. Went from having shoulder length hair to shaving this baby bald. Unfortunate, but my choices were to drain my wallet on meds that may or may not grow it back while making my dick limp, get surgery which i cannot afford, or suck it up and shave it off and move on like a man while keeping a rock hard member... Lol... obviously you know which one i chose.

                Well if you paid attention to my post above, i said that i felt like shit for the first couple of weeks and months after i seen how rapidly my perfect hairline.... became... well not so perfect... hence why i came here. I haven't been on here for like a whole year. This site just randomly came to my mind while browsing the net and decided to check whats going on here after 1 year.

                You can search my name in the search bar, i made some posts last year with pictures of my hair when it was long and perfect and what it was at the time.... now i'm a baldie and my mental state is a complete 180 since then.

                its really not that hard, especially when you realize the fact that no one really cares that your bald headed, shit i have been getting more women being bald then i ever have when i had hair.

                  Can I ask you guys a qustion? If I shave my head completely with a blade, can people still easily tell where my hairline ends??
                  Thanks!

                    To be honest, whenever I see someone who has wet shaved the top of their head, I assume they're a Norwood VI or VII. Why would anyone else do that?

                      I would say I'm pretty close to a vi.

                        In that case, surely you don't have a hairline? I think you can just about make out the difference between baldness and hair on a shaved head, but so what? Apparently its trendy, although I don't like it myself. If it really bothers you, get one of those micro tattoo things.

Every night i dream and hope that the cure will be around the corner dreaming that histogen and folica will release their product in the UK soon, i try and aviod the sun, i just hate my life really, sometimes i wonder why was i bless with such bad luck all i want is to have hair like beckham or brad pitt.
                          I'm having one of those weeks now

                          I probbaly sleep two or three hrs a night and then wake up at 4 am and then toss and turn until 8 am

                          I'm exhausted when I get into work and can't wait for the day to end so I can go home and pass out due to being so f'n tired

                          I look forward to the week end when I don't have to get up and face the world

                          I think I need to visit the shrink again so he can put me on depression pills or something

                          Like you, I hate what my hair loss has done to me mentally and I wish I could be like other people an dnot give a rat's *ss .

Everybody else looks at me in horror and says "Jack, why did you do that?" my family included. When even your parents are appalled by your appearance and suggest that you do something to hide it what the hell are your chances of making peace with it? 1 person in is my corner and the rest of the world is telling me to "Please put a hat on" or "just go to hair club". Its been 1 week of work with my shaved head and it is really, really miserable but I am positive that after enough time has passed people will get used to it. I tried this before and only lasted a couple of weeks. This is going to take months if not a year. I throw a hat on every chance I get so its fine away from work but I spend 9 hours a day 5 or 6 days a week at work. The hazing that I had to endure in the army when I was moved to a veteran rifle company was horrible. Combat was terrifying and I would be lying if I said that it doesn't still screw with my emotions. But this, the disdain shown to a man b/c he is now ugly and used to be good looking - I just can't understand it. It is the worst I have ever felt in my life. I just want to go back into the army but with my injuries I'd be sitting behind a desk which is the one thing that is worse than death - worse even than this. At least I still have my honor even if my hair is gone.

                            This was then.



                            This is now. It is tough to look at the two next to each other.

                            dude, seriously? I can barely tell the difference. your hairline may have receded a TINY bit, but you honestly look good in the second pic. Shaved head suits u man. I'm not just shitting you to make you feel better haha

                            Its all about confidence and how you present yourself to other people. Girls (or guys if ur into that) LOVE confidence in a man
