Just wondering if anyone has ever tried these. I'm 25 and have a receeding hairline and I'd like to try and stop it while I can!

Does anyone know of any pills etc. that work?

yes there are steroidal treatments that you can take. I don't know anything about their licencing here as the person I know is based in the US. There was also a case of an winter olympian who was drug tested and found to have them in his system. Incidently, he decided that sport was more important to him than hair and came off the pills. Another option is transplants but my friend who is currently 22 is too young. Not sure if 25 is the same. Sorry this information is so vague. I'll ask him next time he is online.

nothing works except some injections you can get from dermatologist - everything else is a temporary expensive ripoff (imo!) I know someone with alopcia and this is what dermatologist told them, but the injections need to be given before a certain time as in before most of your hair is gone so id go speak to one. Its not the worst thing in the world, providing you are a bloke, some men actually look better bald, ask your girl mates see if they think the bald look would be a goer!

I'm taking Nourkrin and it has helped..a balding patch has partially regrown...enough for it to be just thin and not bald...which is good enough for me..but not sure what what will happen when I reduce my frequency....but I have no recession at the front...just at the back....and apparently that's where it works best....

Talk to your doctor about propeica. Its one of the only two FDA approved drugs to fight male pattern baldness. Its been proven to work in up to 80% of people. Use it with minox (rogaine), (the 2nd FDA approved) and your doing the best possible thing to keep your hair

Forget everything else, herbal remedies or any of that crap. These two drugs are scientificly proven! Research them on the web first then make an appointment with your doctor. (rogaine is over the counter but if you have MPB its almost pointless without propecia)

Rogaine isn't meant for people with alopcia. It clearly states that if there is a medical reason for your hair loss then it will not be effective. I know several people who have had hair regrowth using rogaine.

You might be wiser to embrace the baldness to be honest. These things happen and short of expensive transplanting little will make a true difference.

Try Propecia. People who post saying 'nothing will make a difference' or 'embrace the baldness' obviously don't know about new medicinal treatments for baldness.

The other thing to remember is your ongoing outlay and possible side-effects regarding sex-drive and related matters.

This is not a medical board. Please go to your GP for advice on this.

Has anyone know of someone who got a hair transplant, just for an opinion or someone with the experience.

also my hair is leaving me at an alarming rate, i know is like not much can be done, but regaine, rogaine, propecia, i dont know if i could keep this up on a daily basis, plus side effects.

I have a head like a american football, so not looking forward to the baldness, plus a hair transplant, do they work??? at all or is it all bulls**t
