SC008Y

the more people in your car the slower, I rather drive around bald in a subaru at a speed where I cannot be seen

Yes but your Mum could be a carrier - it's not called "MALE" pattern baldness for nothing you know

Thats not going to help at all Well he wont go bald by natural causes, he'll b epulling it out in clumps!

Sorry not true unfortunately, genetics are far more complicated than that. the more bald people closely related to you the worse your chances are i am sorry to say

If you are going bald you only really have 2 choices, spend lots of money on stuff that may slow it down or spend a bit of money on razors and go bald a little bit quicker!

Everytime it falls out, stick it back in

SC008Y

So is your mother bald?

depends how much you care, you can get tablets off your doctor called propecia, but I think they are expensive and they mess with your hormone levels somehow, not sure if i would fancy that long term, best bet is talk to the quack if its a serious issue

Ive already tried that but it just doesn't like my head

SC008Y

not at all and comparing my hair type with both of my parents, my hair type (not style) is definately like my mothers

lpski1

my grandad was bald, so is my dad and so is two of his brothers, i knew i wasnt going to miss out.

SC008Y

what about your grandma

lpski1

she's dead

StickyMicky

just get it over and done with and shave it

no gaurd on the clippers works for me, saves a small fortune on haircuts as well

jfrf

u may be lucky

a mates dad is bald
one of the sons is bald, the other isnt.

i believe that castration can help stop you going bald

less drastic measure include sprays such as minoxidil or pills (propecia) that you take each day on prescription.

I started to loose my hair at 15 Unfortunatly there isnt much you can do really, apart from get a #1 all over.

I know how bad it can feel but eventually you get used to it and a lot of women like it Just dont do the combover thing.

There is a special treatment available on prescription that will help slow it down and in 20% of cases will help it regrow. However in most cases it just slows the inevitable, and is expensive. It also has some nasty side effects.

Hi,
Take Propecia to slow it down- basically stop it falling out. Also try using minoxidil to keep it thicker. Also try not to get stressed.

All the best

Hello

I used Regaine (minoxidil) and that worked (get someone in America to buy it in Walmart as the non-branded version was only £8 a bottle!). I also used Propecia for a while and that didn't really work. I'm now 36 and can't really be bothered with either, so my hair is falling out.

If all else fails:
