Hi, im Mike from sunny england, thought i should introduce myself. Thought i should post as i have alot to thank this site for! Apologies for a long post in advance.
I started losing my hair when i was pretty young, started to get very noticable when i was about 18/19. To start off with i wasnt too bothered about it, it still looked ok. Im now 25 and the last 2 years of my life have probably been my worst. My hair started to get very thin and i have been using products suck as toppik to cover up my head. sometimes i manged to make my hair look ok with it but my confidence was at an all time low. Honest to god everytime i looked in the mirror i felt sick. My hair line was high and my hair so thin. It sounds a bit pathetic but there were nights when i was crying myself to sleep about it. I was definately on the verge/ if not already depressed about it.
I maybe the same as a few guys on here, i was avoiding a few social things with my friends and flinched anytime someone came near my hair or took a photo of me. Im sorry but that is just not living. But losing your hair so young is the hardest thing ive ever faced.
Then, i luckily stumbled across this site and it changed everything for me. I started thinking just f**cking man up and do the only thing that can beat it.... just get rid of it. So i bought myself a pair of Wahl clippers and buzzed down to a number 4.. didnt like it. So then i stuck the number one on and went to that length. Its taking some getting used to but i kinda like it. It looks no where near as bad as i thought. I just have to thank this site aqs it really helped me. It honestly feels like a new chapter in my life.
I know im not sly, but im not sure i'll ever do that as my skin is ultra sensitive whenever i shave any part of my body so i'll stick to clippers.
Will stick around because i know there are more young guys out there like me that feel like its the end of the world and i definately want to give any advice i can to help.
Cheers guys!

Welcome Mike from yet another Mike! Nice intro..... and it doesn't matter if you are totally shaved.... it matters that you fixed the problem to your satisfaction and that you still have all your money in your pockets (no drugs, rugs, plugs).
