    You don't look like you are going bald.

    I've never heard of such a thing.

    If you want folks to take a serious look at your hair and try to help you, you need to offer good quality photos. The photos you have offered are not good quality photos.

    Hey - on the subject of wrinkle-face and dark circles from Minoxidil. Unfortunately it's a real side effect, and I was affected with it as well. My breathing was off as well. It was a damn shame - it was working quite well for me beforehand.

    I can tell you that if Minoxidil had a known side effect of causing wrinkles, women would never touch the stuff... A lot of women use Minoxidil.

    I am wondering if you thought to try the 2% women's Minoxidil. The reason I mention that is because maybe this is something you can build up a tolerance. Years ago when I first tried Minoxidil, I got chest pains from it and had to stop. A decade or so later I tried again but only used it once per day instead of twice per day. I didn't have any trouble with using 2% women's Minoxidil once per day. After a while I tried twice per day again and I had no trouble with it then. It seems as though I built up a tolerance to it. So now I can use Rogaine foam in the mornings, which is 5% Minoxidil, and I still use 2% women's Minoxidil in the evenings.

    The 5% men's Monixidil is more effective than the 2% women's Minoxidil, but you are less likely to have negative side effects with lower percentage. You might be one of those folks who cannot use the higher percentage, but be fine with the lower percentage. Something to think about.

    Hi man, I can relate, I too have curly hair and it looks horrible because it is also dry, so I have a double issue going on on my head. I follow the Manly Curls blog and Rogelio today posted about a few hairstyles for balding dudes. He recommends the faux mohawk (or whoever it spells) which gauging by your pics would look good on you, me thinks.

    I personally shave it all but I gave up long time ago LOL

    You don't look like you have much of a hairloss problem if any (photos aren't the best for judging) but curly hair is usually better than straight hair for hiding or minimising the appearance of hairloss. I think you might have some minor frontal recession, and I think it would probably be more obvious if your hair was straight.
