Join the club, I started at 18. Get rogaine (it helps a little) if you want to hold on to it for a bit, or hope you have a well formed head and get a baldie or a #1 shave. I got lucky in the head shape dept and my wife shaves my head once a week. A baldie feels too weird to me. Good luck!

Oh yea.... sunscreen for your dome is a must. You'll never forget the first scalp sunburn!

Damn man that sucks. How did you usually "wear" your hair? Like long, short, what? That sucks though dude, guess you're just going to have to learn to sport the bald look proudly. :D (Just like that bald smiley face there).

You could always put your faith in modern hair growth technology, it's pretty advanced these days. (If you care THAT much...)

As long as you have your games, who cares if you have hair?

Plus, I'm sure there are upsides, like not having to wear a swim cap for your competitive swimming career.

I decided that if I were ever to go bald (god forbid), I'd just shave my hair. There's nothing worse than being that guy with a comb-over that fools no one.

You know, baldness can be caused by excessive testosterone.

And he'll be more aerodynamic for other things as well. Forget driving, with your new bald head you'll run up to 6 times as fast!

Right now it isn't terrible, but my hairline is reallllly far back, and the hair on the back of my head is starting to be noticeably thin, but I figure I dont have too much time left, my hair is pretty short as it is, I might just stick with the beanie or hat look for a bit, the only thing is that I grow a beard pretty fast, so I have a ton of hair except on my head, does anyone know ways to make this look work ha

Also, what kind of baldness is it?

There's male pattern baldness, where the baldness begins at your temples, then they crawl towards each other and leave a shock of hair at the center of your head. That's the sneakiest kind of baldness because it's like the bald spots are conspiring against you.

Then there's the tonsure pattern, where your hair thins out at the top of your head, leaving you with this bald patch kind of like a monk's. If that happened to me, I'd just convert to Judaism so I could wear a yarmulke on my bald spot all the time.

Last but not least, there's what I like to call French-pattern baldness. That's when your entire hairline recedes from your forehead simultaneously, like the French army in any given military confrontation.

EDIT: I just saw your last post. It's French-pattern and tonsure.

Yeah, not too keen on this, oh well, I figure its just part of getting older, except I'm not even twenty yet
