In your twenties? Hell, you had a long run, be grateful. Mine started going in high school. You can't stop it but here's how to handle it:
Keep everything short. Go with very short buzz or shave it. Then, be confident. Don't do hats, people will talk about you. Good luck.

Propecia. You can buy the generic version, finpecia, online. You won't grow it back but it will stop the loss. Been on it since I was 23. 35 now and still have most of my hair. Would have a horseshoe otherwise

Ha. They say it's a side effect in a very small percentage. No issues on my side ever with any side effects.

This is the point when teenagers begin referring to you as "sir."

Keep it short as was said above. Looks 100x better than when it's grown out.

Seventh grade. Fought it for a while, but shaving it was the best decision I ever made.

Mine started receding at 30. It still grows at 80%, but I simply shave it. I also have a beard. I usually keep the 5 o'clock shadow on the ole skull. I have been told I have a nice dome.

I know many who had receding hairline in high school. I never made fun of any of them because I had a grandfather and two uncles who had lost their hair completely in their thirties. I understand my day was likely coming sooner than later!

Well you could throw money at minoxidil products that probably won't have much of an impact. You could have surgical procedures that are expensive, temporarily help, make you look creepier as the rest of your hair recedes leaving you with that wispy, child molester look, and scar your scalp so that you can never shave or buzz your hair without the world knowing about your failure at staving off a deep-seated insecurity. Or you could just man up and accept the normal aging process while not appearing like a narcissistic, low self esteem pussy


FUE hair transplant, Dr Cole in Atlanta, no strips, no scars. Usually have to do more than one. Took me 3 but I have a full mane.

45 and still have a full head of hair. It's now all white but i still have it all. I started graying at around 18. It stopped for a few years and then came back on strong at 30 and by 35 it was solid white. Wife doesn't want me to color it.

Nothing.

Fwiw there are tons females out there that love short haired, buzzed, bald headed dudes.
I'm living proof.

I know you won't but I would love to see before and after pictures.

ETA: His before and after pictures on the website are remarkable.

The prostate medication that propecia was discovered by is still out there and readily available. Find a doc to write the Rx, insurance pays, cut the pills in 4ths to get the right dose, then profit.

30 day script lasts 4 months.

Happened to me, and I fought/hid it for a long time. Had a hard time dealing with it, but then I just said screw it and took the clippers to it. Best decision ever - to just accept it. Haven't worn a hat in years. Just gotta roll with it.

If you don't let it bother you, it won't bother anyone else either.
