    Post Parting Ways: A Brief Look Into Male-Pattern Baldness

    Although my pseudo-coifed crop of hair currently remains intact, I come from a strong line of follicly-challenged hair loss survivors. I know that in the next few years, I too will likely don the family emblem of my forefathers: a shiny and sunburn-prone hairless dome.

    Rationally, I comprehend that there is a limited amount of time I have with the hair on my head, and I cherish every moment of it. Emotionally, I am devastatingly unprepared to part ways.

    "Hair transplantation is also a treatment option; however, I'd prefer to limit my transplant surgeries to only those organs that I need to survive"... Great line!

    Whether you have clicked on the http://www.americanhairloss.org link at the right side of the home page here is unknown, but you will find a wealth of information available from reliable sources.

    I would strongly recommend seeing a doctor so you can at least put the brakes on the loss-shedding for a while.

    I take 10mg Fin-(Propecia), apply Minox-(Rogaine) daily with no side effects I know of. One or the other, or the combination of both has stopped shedding to what is considered normal.

    If you could stop hair loss for a few years, hopefully science will come up with some better alternatives to solve our problem.

    Yes, it's pretty clear MPB does not come from a single, sex-linked gene. How much each parent genetically contributes to the end result is currently unknown.
