If you think it's the gray hair they love, she lied to you.

It's normally the money that comes along with the gray hair.

I'm pretty sure most girls would dislike a 25 year old guy with gray hair. Or, at least, think he's weird.

Yes O.P. Go to a dermatologist and get a prescription for generic finasteride. The actual hair loss medication is called propecia I believe, but drug in it's larger form 5mg is used to treat colon cancer. What you do is get 30 count, 5mg, and split the pill 4 ways and take 1/4 per day. Generally I go to the DR once a year for refill. That's the cheapest way. a 4 month supply is like 21$

It has stopped or slowed majorly the hairloss process for me over the course of about 10 years now.

As a man who went bald in his early twenties I do recommend that you make your choice and stick with it. if you want to keep your hair find something that works and stick with it, Rogaine or Propecia are the two best options so hopefully they are effective for you. Otherwise, be bald and proud. Buy yourself a set of clippers and shear it once a week or go ahead and shave it smooth but don't be a clown, these are your only two choices for the rest of your life. And never, never, never wear a piece on your head. You will be a joke to everyone who knows you

Shave your head and forget about it.

Rogaine doesn't work great with male pattern baldness, and it is known to raise blood pressure and cause weight gain.

Yeah I've always been worried about the side effects of rogaine etc.

To OP, I've heard and read that taking biotin daily, along with regular use of head and shoulders (or anything else with its active ingredient) stems the tide. Those are some simple things to get in the habit of.

Gray is easy. Clairol or Just for Men are like 5 minutes to use. I've wondered if they don't cause minimal hair loss due to the harsh chemicals.

Biotin helps with certain types of baldness. It will make the hair a bit thicker, which helps hide the bald.

However, get a good set of nail clippers because your nails will grow faster and stronger.

My friend takes some kind of pill. Don't know if it's prescription, but it has helped him a lot.
