I'm not to the point where I should shave but it's getting bad. Turning 31 next month and really debating FUE transplants or just dealing with it.

There are really no options for haircuts if you have a receding hairline. Am I wrong?

Regretfully, the combover is the only real option.

Just embrace it and move on.

Shave it and grow a beard. You'll look like a badass and pull tons of puss

Just dwi. I've had one since 20 and have been fine. frick, rocking adult braces and a receding hairline and no one cares. Literally, just come to the realization that no one cares about you at all and you'll be fine.

It just started falling out over night. About 1 yr ago. But nothing seems to wrong.

I'm embracing it but need help coming to terms. The new transplant methods look real, but as a conservative it's hard to spend 5K on them.

That is a default look. I'm also a few years away from shaving.

Give us an idea of where you hair is and we'll tell you if you need to shave it. Find a pic of someone with a hairline like yours

Shave it and embrace it.


I'm lucky I have a pretty awesome head of hair, but if for some reason it started to go, I'd shave it. Be confident and rock it.

It's embarrassing seeing guys trying to do every silly thing to cover up a losing battle.

Yeah the implants might look great at first, but think long term. What happens when your real hair keeps falling out and you just have this weird island of implants in the front? You going to keep getting implants throughout your whole adult life? Just embrace the middle aged white man receding hairline look.

I tried growing it out to mixed results. I do an almost buzz cut, with it a little longer in the middle kind of like a fohawk. Like a 2 on the side of the top and 3 or 4 in the middle with a 1 on the side.

No pattern male baldness in my family. Nonetheless I have had considerable time thinking about what I would do in the event I did start losing hair up there. I settled on getting a tattoo artist to artistically craft an age of exploration style map on my head and label the bald spot as the Pacific Ocean, chock full with sea monsters, mermaids with big titties, and phallic sea serpents.

People will tell you to just move on and deal with it. But it is a shock to the system. I started just going shorter and shorter. It looks worse if you keep it long. You will get used to it.

The worst part will be when people with a full head of hair tells you to shave it. Do it when you are ready. If you what to go transplant route I would wait as long as possible. The rest of your hair will continue to fall out over the next several years.

Scona does pump that anti aging clinic or whatever on his show a bunch.

I'm 32 and still have a full head of hair, though it's quickly turning gray. Much rather gray than nothing. I'd look like a dick if I had to shave my head.

Literally, nobody GAF about your hairline. Women will *definitely* notice if you're trying to hide it though. Just rock what God gave you and don't worry about it.
