I have the receding hair line...it sucks!

I really don't want it to fall out! I need to try something.

Hey man just keep shaving it. There is no use going through all those pills and creams and whatever else you may find for hair loss. The men of today are lucky since the "shaved/bald" look is in and even people with full heads of hair go for these looks. It's the new style!

Last year. I thought I was losing hair, though I must've been overreacting (since I had just cut my long long hair!) and I went to doctors, visited hair loss sites and so on. Hair loss is in fact due to genes, though an unhealthy lifestyle, stress, not taking care of your hair and many other things will speed up this process. I also heard that high testosterone levels may cause hair loss (porn stars have hair? don't they?), and this makes sense as many creams and pills for hair loss play around with your libido. In the end, would you rather have hair on your head, and someone who comes "up" to play once in a blue moon, or less hair, and someone who doesn't sleep at all!

I made the mistake by going bonkers when I thought I was losing hair; I was near depression. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who felt that way. To inspire those who are gong for that bald look, I'll give you two badass "baldies!" :

Depending on what age you are, a receding hair line is normal. If you are under 25 (and some cases it can go up to 30's) this receding hairline is known as a "maturing hairline." I you look at pictures when you were a child, you'll probably notice that you have a perfectly straight hairline(like Bill Clinton!), and as you get older it moves back a bit. It is nothing to worry about. Now I could also be wrong (it would be easier if I saw the hairline), but you should check yourself out on this chart:

Type II-III

Yea my hair isn't falling out...it's just I hate the "maturing" process!

Re: Hair loss questions/advice

I'm somewhere between I and II

And yeah, I'll offer my medical knowledge- hair loss is associated with (among other things) elevated levels of DHT in the body, a derivative of testosterone. Propecia blocks the formation of DHT. The funny thing is, I barely have any facial hair or body hair which is also dependent on DHT LOL
