I have been losing hair since i was 18, and for the last week my crown area hair has reached its end. With in a week, anyone would be able to see my crown area bald, from far away. I am sick and tired of depression, and crying at nights over my hairless. At this age i should be out partying, and worrying about school not hairloss. I don't feel like going to clubs, or even see my friends for that matter. I am a very shy guy, and going bald is killing me. I spent 2000$ on light laser therapy, and that was a complete waste of money.
Sometimes i feel like moving away from my town; somewhere i don't know anyone. I can't do that until my university ends, and my university is close to home.
I also think that me being so young and losing hair will also affect my professional life.

I went to a dermatologist and he told me about propecia about 1.5 years ago, but he said that it has many side effects, plus its expensive. So 6 months back i refereed to this website and went to a hair specialist listed in this website. The doctor told me not to take propecia because it also causes breast cancer, apart from all the other problems. They told me to do light laser therapy, and they gave me a laser comb with it. That costed me 2 grands. Money i am still paying to my credit card. This was an act of desperation. The fact that it dint work made me cry for days.

I don't want to shave my head because i know my head shape is weird. I am tall and skinny, which will look it really bad. While all my friends are out partying with full hair; ill be home making excuses not to come.
I know this is my future. I know there is no point in being jealous, but it is what it is. I am just telling you all how I'm feeling lately.
I don't know what to do. Should i start wearing baseball caps for a while? so that at least i can get out sometimes with my buddies for drinks.
Get a hairpiece? I don't know where to get a good hairpiece from. If anyone could tell me where to find a good one, then that would be really helpful.


IF anyone could please help me out, and give me some kind of emotional support; it would be really helpful.

Feel very sorry for your bro, your story is similar to mine. Although i am a bit worse due to other conditions i must suffer other than my baldness.

Most of what you described is what I went through however I almost done with college....and im 23 so in that regard i guess i am lucky to have made it through college with nobody noticing my baldness....and being healthy for the most part.

However my bro, one thing many would envy you is that you are young and started balding recently. There are people whove been through this hell for 40 years with no hope whatsoever etc....

I say this because there are many cures coming down the pipe...im sure you will benefit from them. Check ARI/REPLICEL the two most promising imo.

Let that give you some hope my bro, excel at university no matter what, get paid so you can use these treatments.

Wear a hat or w/e you do, try to deal with your baldness for 4/5 years until a cure comes.

I suggest you watch the baldtruth show live...I never manage it to see it LIVE...but it will help you deal with it better ...with spencer giving you advice and latest news on hair loss treatments.


Hang in there brutah !

I agree With Maradona, Do what you have to do man. I'm going down the same road as you and at 19. But like Maradona said, there are treatments on the way so do your best in school.. kill that shit and get a good job. Stay healthy. Maybe give Rogaine and Nizoral a try, I'm doing it myself right now. And again like Maradona said, you should try to watch the bald truth whenever you can. If you can watch it live there's a chat room as well, it's a good place for advice and to vent whatever you're feeling. (Not that this isn't)
