When I started loosing mine some, I researched the supposed remedies. None seem to do much, except minoxidil, which is a PITA. Shaved the head and haven't looked back. I think they'll have a cure/treatment one day soon. I'm surprised they haven't yet.

I used to work for a Dermatologist and I was told that Propecia works. Unfortunately, it occasionally creates the side effect of impotence or some variation of ED:-/
Kinda ironic that this cure for baldness, which some might think would make you more appealing to the ladies, kinda makes you useless to said ladies...

I would shave it all off or just buzz what I had down really close. I'm not balding but I am greying a little at 25 
Clippers with no guard for me. Not shaved bald, but close. Shaved it off about 5 years ago; i'm 28.

Inspired by me? how sad
I've started to come to terms with my receding line.. I think what bothers me most is that it doesn't run in the family, at all... and 90% of it dropped off when I was under a huge amount of stress, just never grew back, and in the last 10 years, it really hasn't gotten much worse.
I think I could handle it better if it was a more natural thing.
Haven't met one person that said my newly shaven noggin looked worse then my previous hair, so maybe a blessing in disguise, and upkeep? sooo much better, I'd almost consider doing it if I had hair to spare.
almost...if there was a cure, I'd take it

Hair loss has many contributing factors. The most prominent factor is genetics; other factors include: life styles, such as stress and nutritions, and so on.
Mindcore, if you hair fell out under stress and never grew back, that means the DHT is blocking those follicles from regrowing hair. Otherwise, healthy follicles will regrow hair even if hair loss was due to stress or medical treatment, such as chemotherapy.
No one has thought about hair transplant, such as Bosley? But the commercials sound so good and promising.

Yeah - I have debated about propecia or Bosley. But Bosley is $10-15k. So in my crazy head I am thinking hair or spec miata, hair or spec miata. Guess what I ended up with.
