New Guy here
« on: December 29, 2009, 05:53:09 PM »
Hi, I'm 20 and have been losing my hair since I tuned 18. I shaved my head on a whim a year ago and have been alternating between shaving and using clippers with no guard since. Doing so has improved my confidence a bit, but I still feel really self conscious about my hairline and tend to wear hats all the time. I've been using Rogaine since May but it doesn't really seem to have done anything. My hair loss isn't huge yet but its steadily progressing. The picture is what a bad day looked like a year ago.

Welcome.  Personally, you're headed genetically to be a bald guy.  You can hang on until it's obvious or you canget in front  lead the parade and be sly, shaved.  But the drugs, no way, our, that is to say SBG, mantra is "No Drugs, No Rugs, No Plugs."  That mantra will save your money and may very well save your health.  Stop the drugs whatever you do, they're bad for your health and your wallet. Emphasis on health.

Welcome to SBG!  I Think the best thing that's going to help relieve your worries about your hairline is by shaving with a blade everyday.  If you haven't shaved for a solid 30 days in a row, give it a shot.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

I think the bald pic looks cool, is that at no guard buzzing? The bald really suits you well. Just embrace the baldness and shave with a blade. I am only 23 and mostly people don't realise that I shave my head because I am balding because they can't tell. So at the moment it doesn't matter how much it progresses any further because nobody can see how bad it is, even I am struggling to figure out quite how much I have left now.

Welcome to SBG.
Taking drugs is not only dangerous for your health but it also tightens the feeling that there is something wrong with you that has to be cured. But it is just that your body is changing its appearance according to your genetics so it is completely natural.
It is just a cosmetic issue.

Since you've already shaved, I would also suggest that you try to shave for 30 days straight, avoid wearing the hat as much as possible and see what happens. It has worked for many others to overcome their doubts and fears that's why we recommend it here. Good luck!

Welcome to Sly Bald Guys.  Looks like you can grow quite a beard.  Try the bald head with the full beard look.  It might suit you.
