Fed up of having to cover up

[MrJangles]

Dude, if you think you have the dome to shave it off go for it. That's the best solution IMO. Many of us just can't pull off that look so we look to the big 3. IMO you would respond extremely well. Your hair is miniaturized in the front, it's not dead. At 23, I bet you could fill most that frontal area in completely. It might not be exactly how it was before, but I bet you could get pretty darn close.

Since you are willing, I say shave your head and see if you like the look. If not then I would say jump on the big 3 asap. I respect your GF for being supportive, but one thing to keep in mind is that relationships don't always last forever. What if a few years down the line you are single again and on the dating scene as a balding guy? My point is in the battle of hair loss, time is everything. You are young now and like MrJangles said are at a good age to respond well. I just would hate for you to be single at 30, bald, thinking "damn, I should have done something about this years ago."

DUDE use the BIG3, we have like 5 years MAX until the next gen treatments(cb, replicel, histogen, bim..). If you shave your head, your mpb will continu till NW7 and even all the new treatments in combination will not be efficients for your NW stade.

"Bro shave your head and let it go" --------> DO NOT DO THIS!
20 years or 10 years ago maybe, but not today, hang on and fight this disease for the next years you will not regret your choice!

I am unaware of any sources that claim cradle cap can cause baldness later in life. You are suffering from mpb and your options are to shave down or get on treatment, period. I started losing my hair right after puberty, somewhere around 12 years old, and I was in denial for a long time because I didn't think it was possible to lose your hair at such a young age.

Ok thanks for all the replies. What is the big 3 you all talk about?

I just don't want to spend loads of money and have more stress of being on severe meds for years.

What are my options then? I'm presuming that any medication i get would need to be prescribed.

Sorry to sound clueless but i'm new to all this.

Thanks again for all the advice.

Minoxidil - I´m using the cheaper brand "Kirkland", saves you alot of money

Finasteride - Same here, generic finasteride 5mg pills are way cheaper than propecia 1mg

Nizoral - Got it from my local pharmacy (No need for prescription here in Sweden)

I think a buzz cut would suit you well mate!
