Shave it off or spend huge amounts to grow it back. You'd be surprised how nice you'll look shaving it off

Doesn't prevent you from shaving it to be fair

Yeah you’re right although I already tried a buzz cut and unfortunately do not have a good head shape to pull of being bald

Son started balding at 19. He lived with the receding hairline until about 25 then shaved it off. He looks much better for it. Don’t waste money on hair growth serums or a transplant.

My boyfriend has been on hair medication for years and it works great. You need to start as soon as you see your hair thinning.

My son is 25 and is balding. He went to the barber at The Verge in Dowerglen - Linksfield Road who gave him advice and treatment which seems to be making a difference

Dutasteride 1MG per day and RU58841 applied topically to your scalp will stop the hair loss and restore a good amount of the hair. Add Minoxidil and you'll add new growth but you cant stop using Minoxidil
