My hairline is thinning :(

If sudden hair loss wasn't a concern for a lot of men then the shampoos, mad you tube videos and fraudsters wouldn't exist.

You seem to have had no issues in dealing with it, however asking us all to "man up" and get on with it in a macho sense isn't necessarily the approach.

Magic potions ain't going to cut it either. I'm not saying it doesn't bother people, it certainly bothered me when it was my turn, I'm just saying don't let it get to you - it's just part of growing up and/or old. Rearguard actions are as pointless as anti-wrinkle cream and facelifts. Concentrate on healthy and happy, not your inconsequential hairline.

Hi there. I am 30 years old and over the past year I've noticed that my hair is becoming very thin at the front.

I went to my doctor and he just laughed and said there's no cure. It's not too noticeable to others yet but it is to me and I don;t want it to get worse.

I've just done a quick Google search and see that there is Regaine and a type of medication too. Does anyone know if it's easy to get a prescription for this or if I can buy Regaine from abroad (it seems cheaper on foreign websites)?

Thanks

The only advice I have to offer is this - have a blade shaven head makes me feel better than even letting short stubble grow out.

I look at pics now of myself before I started shaving close and cringe. I didn't realise I was going as bald on top as I was!

Shave it, incorporate it into your routine and don't worry about it. If you are worried then focus that energy into getting yourself fitter. If you do want to spend money on cosmetic treatments do it on stuff with substantive results like getting perfect white teeth or having the skin of a Greek god.

Fit, good complexion man with great teeth and shaven head > man spending large amounts of money clinging onto departing hair.

a mate of mine bought a hair piece on ali express - he said it was the best €10.99 he ever spent!

A-Men brother!

I have a comb over by choice - have had it for 15 years. cant help it if the youngsters are trying to copy me

Honestly though it's all genetics, I'm extremely lucky to still have hair, I look like my mothers side, they are all under 5'8 and they were all bald by 22, my dads side all have good thick hair and I was lucky to get that and make it to 5"10!
2 of my 3 brothers are thinning out fairly quickly but both started using some cream which has had amazing effects, il check its name at weekend! I am lucky but you guys need to take it in your stride, don't let it affect your confidence and plough on

I've been going bald since I was 19 was never very bad until last year when it started to disappear very fast. Decided to just shave it all off this year should have done it ages ago looks grand, I'm a man **** happens

I'm 24 at the moment, still have a mop of hair, my hairline is receding but very very slowly.
I reckon once I hit the 30 mark it will start going fast.

But its natures course I guess, a very small percentage of old people I see who actually have a head full of hair.
Thats if their not wearing a wig.

OP just go with it, its what I will be doing.
Judging from my dad in anyway who is just gone 50, I would not like my hair the way his is.
Its receded really far back, I don't know why he just doesnt shave it off all together.
But then again he is over 50 and most likely doesn't give to ****es about it.

If your really desperate, But I heard its alot of cash, is go for one of them hair transplant things.

Personally though, If I thought I could pull off the pure bald look with no hair at all I would do it in a heartbeat alot of girls find that more attractive plus no need for shampoo xD

OP is looking for answers.

You can create an account there and apply through an online form for finasteride, they will post you a prescription. It will be a 5mg pill, you will need a pill cutter, can get one in any pharmacy. Even cut in four pieces it's 1.25 mg, which is more than the 1mg hairloss pill.
My advise is to cut that into 8 pieces or even more. Don't take it at 1.25 mg. Seems to me you need a very small amount as it's a powerful drug. Some people take 0.20 mg, a 1mg cut into 5 pieces and have results. Will take 6 months to see it work, so don't increase does, just stick with a tiny amount, can't stress that enough.
I've not taken it myself, always threatened to do so but have not as of yet. I've been taking Dr Best Saw Palmetto for 3 years, does it work, hmmm it must help. Without it I'd have to get up during night to use bathroom, with it I could sleep in on a Saturday until 1pm and not need to get up. That is what finasteride was made for , that was its actual use.
Lately I've see side effect same as finasteride, so maybe Saw Palmetto can also give side effects.
I use to take two a day, 320 mg each. It's a natural supplement though, like taking an Omega 3 capsule, which are 900 mg. I've cut it down to one every 2 days or so and still sleep.

This Shampoo is great, stops hair fall within a week, I know it works. Can help a great deal, I use it with Nizarol Shampoo. It's amazing. Again won't regrow, but stops hair fall.

Massaging scalp can help too. Something I do randomly most nights, basically just make claw type action with my hands and stick nails in and move scalp , massaging it. All that type of stuff can simulate the crown.

Then you have places like this
https://www.clinicana.com/hair-transplant-turkey-pricing . They are really good it seems. Can give you a full head of hair if you want to avoid all medication. And it's cheap compared to UK or Ireland, and they do a much better job. They are very skilled in what they do.
