Is your hair starting to thin?

[wnxmaximus]

So I am 21, and my hair is starting to thin on top, and on the crown, while the sides and back are thicker than most peoples hair. IF I let it get to long the top stays kind of flat and the sides poof out, I look ridiculous. Anyone else have this problem at a young age? My doctor reccomended propecia, but I read about it, its horrible sides, lowered test levels, possible gyno, yada yada. I think i will just deal with it, when it gets bad enough, just shave it all off.

shave it now dude!

I just cut it with a #4 guard, 1/2 inch, so its pretty short, the thinning parts are a little noticeable, and on top of that, my head is kind of round, so i look fatter.

just let the sides grow out when the top gets bald and you can look like Gallagher........

I'm in the same situation, doctor recommended propecia, went on and on about how 100% safe it was. I'm not risking it though. It looks worse the longer my hair is, I'll just keep my hair short and deal with it I guess. Fvcking sucks though.

Same problem her. Usualy keep it as short as possible.

That's life. It's all in the genes too! There are a lot of products out there that may help a little, but nothing is really guaranteed!

Nioxin is a great product to check out!

Shave it now, you're still young.

PS. they always say check out the males on your mothers side of the family, as that is where you inherit the genes from. ;-)

Ya, I know about the gene, and my moms father is as bald as can be. My dads side have full hair, my granfather is 89 and has almost a full head of hair, but unluckily, that does not matter.

[CraigC]

Both of my grandfathers were/are bald... so I knew it was coming. It just sucks cause there is nothing we can do about it.

That sucks dude.

Im 18 and because of my crappy genes my hair is already greying and its getting pretty noticable. Started way back when I was like 14 with a few hairs now its more and more everyday. Thank god its not thinning though

[Jamiel]

Mine is not thinning at all yet, but I did shave my head a few years ago just to see what it would look like. If its thin just shave it, bald is beautifull baby.

[hrpiii]

I just checked, mine might be starting to thin.
