Best course of action for my hair?

I always say this. You can look at my history and see I've commented a million times over about this.

Now a days, no one has to lose their hair. You're 18, and in the perfect spot to retain your hair forever.

1) Get propecia (finesteride). Don't listen to any of the hype about the super negative side effects: they are not clinically proven.

2) Get regenepure 1%: use its daily. Leave it on for 5 minutes in your shower.

3) Get rosemary oil. No more conditioner. Use a little bit of this instead (I get now foods rosemary oil). Massage it into your scalp and hair during your shower, wait for it to soak up into your scalp. Then, wash some of it out with your hands. Makes your hair nice and soft.

4) Use Rogaine 5% until you are happy with the results. Then you only have to do maintenence (2-3 times a week) to ensure the results stay. I only use it at night, and don't even use it all the time. I use 1ml. Get the liquid; its better than the foam. Make sure you wet your head, and massage before you put it in. Dampen your hair with water, rub your scalp, dry it off, then use the rogain. It absorbs almost completely this way.

4a) I also tried an experimental androgen receptor competitor called ru58841. You can get it online. Its a little pricey, but it works like a charm with all of the above. I use it right after the rogaine. After you get the results that you like, you can just use it as maintenance, or just stop using it all together.

5) Massage your head when you're just laying on the couch at the end of the day. Be vigorous. Move the blood around. If your scalp has pain or soreness, you need to be doing this.

6) If you take creatine, stop. Very likely that it causes MPB to advance at a faster rate. I can explain this if you'd like, but there is only 1 trial study done on it, but it seems that it does raise DHT levels by 40 percent or so.

I have all my hair back. My dermatologist is amazed and says he never sees results like this. I can explain why all of the above works if you'd like, but it'd be very lengthy.

From one bald bro to another, just shave it off. Never let it get bigger than an 1/8 of an inch.

My brother in law did Bosley and he hates it.

Hopefully you're lifting as well.

DONT. DONT, try and fix it/cover it.

Shave it off. It's scary as fuck. But accepting it is just awesome. Grow a beard if you can, but please, just don't try and cover it up.

I'm telling you, just telling someone "I'm bald. I don't care" is infinitely better than other options and knowing you don't give a fuck will make you instantly more attractive.

I've been through it all over the last few years. I'm a skinny dude, and now am bald with a beard and have never looked back.

It's gonna be the hardest thing to do, but it will be the most rewarding thing ever.

Shave it and own that shit.

Everyone's posted solutions for fixing the balding, but if all else fails, the following three apply:

Shave it all off
Become jacked AS FUCK
Grow a beard (bald & beard looks fantastic imo)

To look good bald you must be jacked, low BF%, and some tan, bonus points for a beard. You're 18, so, maybe you still got a baby face. Just keep lifting and cutting and it will go away.

Shave it off. Start working out a lot and be one of those bald, jacked guys. Mmm.

I've been bald (shaved head) for 10 years. Certain girls dig it.. But let me tell you, I've done "hair for men" program which entails getting wigs every other months and it's super expensive and it still looks fake.. Plugs too have to be redone every so often and I would imagine the price is a lot more than what it was 10 years ago.
