One of my best friends thinks he's going bald. It doesn't look too bad but his hair is much thinner on top than it used to be... His dad is bald and so are his grandparents on his father's side but no from his mother's family is. Just wondering if anyone here had any advice.. He's taking it really hard. Could it be stress-related or some sort of temporary thing? Anyone know any sort of treatment that has actually had genuine results?
p.s. Cylob

well, its happening to me and my father is 50 y.o. and still got his hair my grandfather is 73 and still got hair other grandfather is 91 and has hair im 27 and my hair is getting tinner on top i think is because of all the bad food i consume-and perhaps because of non healthy life style
my hairdresser adviced me to use ampoules-for stopping my hair to fall out, but i stopped using that after a while
anyways it might seem silly to "normal hair" people because we make a big deal out of this, but its really anoying

It's gonna happen to me to. My father lost his hair when he was 25,and my brother, who is 23 has already lost a lot of his.
that means I still have...3/4 years with hair. I'll miss it when it's gone ...

A receding hair line isn't bad.. It's when you start losing it in the back of your head. It's an inconsistency that could understandably make a young male very insecure.

my father has a horrible comb-over... really really bad comb-over, and he doesnt wash his hair so he can make his dirty hair sick across his head and try to loop it around his ear.... and he has a big pot belly... he is a salesman who schtick is to make everybody feel sorry for him, he whines like a pathetic bitch........ sort of like Homer Simpson except he is not funny at all... no wonder i grew up so full of shame...
.........so if i go bald, im goona shave my head everyday.... does anybody know if you can get anti-reflextive coating for your head, cause i don't want it to be too shiny.

the balding gene is passed from ze mothers side of the family ONLY, tis genetic's!
rogaine works (i heard) if you start using it before you have MEGA hair loss, so in other words when you first notice the problem. like any other medication you have to use it diligently!
tell him to continue to brush/comb his hair cos this makes hair grow. some men are under the impression if they don't they won't lose as much, but your scalp needs to be stimulated to grow hair.
also tell him not to stress out, cos that could be contributing.
lastly.....tell him MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN shaves his head.....and he hasn't done too badly in life! in other words baldness is in....the COMB over is SNOT! =0)
hope that helps

I have seen some truly fantastic comb overs this month. Dunno why, they've all been popping out with their skillfully crafted deception. I find them fascinating =oD

rogaine is a prescription medicine. i dunno if you'll find it sold 'over the counter' in europe. it may be. if you don't ask your doctor for a sample/and or prescription!
and good luck

the silliest combover i ever saw was this guy at saw at the grocery store, he had his hair meticulously combed from the back forward over his totally bald top, and he looked like Ralph Wiggum, the hair all spread out into bangs!!! i guess this could always be an option.

There are lots of bald people on my mom's side. But my dad is 50 and still has all his hair. I hope I don't go bald too young, that would suck.

this may be an urban legend.....but don't wear too many TIGHT ball caps like the one in your avatar.....that stunts hair growth and so if you have the GENE that could be contributing! =0)

my mate has just started taking some prescribed drug for hair loss. not too sure what its called, but it was actually made for prostate cancer and one of the side effects is rapid hair groath. it also fucks up your labeado, but hey....he wasnt gettin any anyway.
i think you gotta get onto it pretty quickly though, and the stuffs real exspensive. i'll find out what it is and post when i get home.

Hahahahaha! I'll never be bald, my grandfather has long wavy hair, and I have too much. If I DID go bald, I'd look totally ridiculous, I just don't have the head and face shape to look good with a big shiny orb skull.
