My hair started falling out at 17. Now I'm 26 and it's just started to become noticeable. I'm somewhat lucky because it's the entire top of my head thinning at the same time, and not a receding hairline or circle pattern, so it is easier to hide....I should add that i have big ears, the weirdest shaped oblong head (i look terrible shaved), and I have an attractive face, but not enough to pull off the bald look. I don't have a bruce willis square head to pull off the look. Also i'm pale..i guess i can tan. Also, I took finasteride (propecia) for a year when i was 18, but had to quit because the drug gave me a MYRIAD of long lasting, absolutely terrifying side effects... I also don't have the money for a hair transplant. The SMV loss balding will bring me is something I'm not ready to deal with. What to do? Could you blame me for getting one of those stick on hair pieces that you replace every month?
