Remember that prevention is better than cure, and if someone is noticing hairloss then I think we should advise with that in mind.

Please take the time to read what I have written for him.

Hey Powka, where in the UK are you? I'm 28 and going through this too, but my problem is recession at the temples

Just so you know you aren't alone. Get in touch if you like. Be good to have some hair loss brethren to support and help each other

...but my problem is recession at the temples

It is important for you to know that it is normal and natural for males to lose their temple hair. This is called the "mature male hairline". This is one of the physical traits that differ between males and females. Most males lose their temple hair, though some males do not. Most females do not lose their temple hair, though some females do. Temple recession in males is not an indication that you will be bald. Your pattern may stay that way for many years without any kind of medical intervention.

I realise this, yes. I had a high temple for many years and was cool with it, however now it's receding so much that it's difficult to style my hair. I don't mind a mature hairline so long as it does not force me into cropped haircuts. I'm definitely suffering from progressive MPB.

My advice? Stop wearing a hair style that leaves your hair long.

Your "transition" will be a lot smoother and easier to bear on your self-image if you cut it tight and short. You're young, work out gain some size, develop a new self image.

Your own perception of yourself and self confidence and attitude you have will capture peoples attention more then your hair. And if they *still* are fascinated by your hair, screw um.

As a side - poor bastard kids wearing Justin Bieber'esque hair styles are in for a world of hurt if they start thinning.
