My hairline is beginning to recede. This will not do. I can't live in a world where I'm not beautiful.

So, has anyone had any experience, either in use or knowing someone that uses Rogaine?

I wanted to like that post... but it didnt feel right. Awkard like.

In a nutshell, it works, but it's expensive and the hair falls right back out when you stop using it.

I have experience with hats. Hats are pretty cool, and I understand they do a decent job of covering up your head.

But then you can't see my long, beautiful mane!

My brother tried it. It only works on the balding spot on the top of your head, not the receeding hairline in front. It says so on the bottles.

Dammit, I've got hair up there!

It's why I have hair on the palms of my hands. I swear!

Well after recovering from Chemo, it looks like my hair line was actually restored, a little bit. And my beginning bald spot has pretty much disappeared. I don't think many people will sign up for THAT hair cure.

Shave it all or cover it with a hat, my friend. Those are the only realistic choice that I know of. You could try those surgeries I see advertised on tv, but I'm not sure they work and they are definitely expensive.

Friend of mine swears by it. But he says the side effects will happen at some point or another.

There's only one reasonable solution.

Rogaine works in that it makes keeps you from losing all the hair you would lose without it, as long as you use it, but it won't keep all your hair up there and it will fall as soon as you stop using it.

Plastic surgery is useful, but really expensive.

I've done both, and, let me tell you: If I had known I would get thinner (fat pale and shaved didn't look that good) and if my rich parents didn't want me to do the surgery (that is, they will pay for it if I want it because they don't like bald men or something and had actually been suggesting me to get it for a long time before I finally decided I wanted to), I probably wouldn't have done it.

I love having hair, and self transplanted hair is there to stay, for ever, wich is pretty cool.
I don't love having a giant smile shaped scar on the back of my head (there are methods that don't scar now, but not when I did it, at least not is Spain) and I don't love either that the surgery I got was the first one in a line of 3 or more expensive procedures, to compensate for the natural hair loss thet is happening with time.

That's hella informative man. But I'll say it, you're pretty dashing in that middle pic, even without the hair.

thank you!
