    Both my dad and my grandpa went or are going bald. When the time comes I wana take action lol. I figured I'd ask if anyone here ever tried Rogaine or any of those other hair loss prevention or regrow formulas. Never too soon to plan ahead lol.

    Figured I'd ask a message board full of dude's and odds are someone would have some info.

    From what I've read, you get the baldness gene (most common form of it that is) from your mothers side. So you need to look to your mom's brother's and fathers. This article also talks about it Going Bald? Blame Mom, Your Maternal Grandfather May Provide A Clue To Your Hair's Future - CBS News.

    My dad is bald and starting going bald in his mid twenties. Now he prolly got the gene from his mom. I'm not going bald, or showing signs, but my cousin on my dad's side started going bald like my dad in his twenties and the he most likely got the gene from his mom (my aunt). So take what you will from it, never used those products.

    You could be like me, I started going bald at 35 or so. Now, I just shave my head, and don't worry about it. Some people can wear a bald head...anything looks better that a bad combover though, or that bozo the clown look. If you happen to be one of those that go bald, don't lose sleep over it. Thats how God intended you to be, so be proud. Look at it this way, its just a solar panel for a sex machine :lol:

    I'm not going bald, but I shave my head anyway. Nothing to be ashamed of or worried about, just do it and get it over with.

    I tried rogaine, no results. I've also had three implant operations with very disappointing results. The surgeon once called me an anomaly of nature.

    BTW, he denied that there is more influence from either parent.

    I get bored with my hairstyle on a monthly basis so it would suck to have no options one day.

    My smooth, shiny dome is coming up on its tenth anniversary.

    At first I started shaving it because I was wearing my hair so short anyway, it was just the next logical step; plus, I was thinning up top and wanted to be proactive rather than reactive.

    Now, when I go without shaving for a few days it's...alarming.

    I've shaved my head since the 7th grade because it seemed better in the FL heat playing sports. I played a ton of basketball and baseball, hair was just messy and a nuisance to me at the time.

    I started to actually go bald last year :pity:

    My hair was spiteful.

    Nah, you're too self-conscious. If you go around flexing in a pair of spandex then you'll look like a pro wrestler. You'll also probably get a few uncomfortable profile comments from Lucky, but that's beside the point. It's all about confidence and the way you carry yourself, even if you had a mohawk or a conjoined twin on the back of your head, it's all about how you present yourself and whether or not you can pull it off (not literally in the case of the conjoined twin).

    Don't hide behind your hair, let it shine my brotha and the wimmin's will take notice. :up:

    That sucks bro. I grew up here in FLA and kept my hair long. That way when you pour water on your head it keeps you cool. It was perfect for baseball while wearing a hat.

    Can't believe nobody has mentioned Propecia yet. It actually works. I started balding when I was 20. Hair started going fast. Started Propecia and the balding stopped. I also got some of the hair I lost back. It's not a miracle drug. If you're completely bald I don't think all that hair will come back. But if you start taking it at the first sight of hair loss you'll be fine. People who haven't seen me inawhile and who knew me while I was balding are always shocked to see how much hair I have.

    There are reportedly some side affects, but I haven't noticed any.

    Most people say Propecia works but its more expensive and also makes your wood non-existant. Thats 2 bad side effects lol.

    I've been taking it for 7 years and still get hard when the wind blows.

    It is kinda pricey though. Depends on how much you value your hair. I've figured out you don't need to take it every day. I take it 4 times a week, and that makes it more affordable. It's about 60 - 70 $ for 30 pills.

    Is it only a pill?

    I think I might start using this shampoo called Nizoral. Supposed to strengthen your hair and make it a lil thicker.

    Seriously, don't take this lightly at all.

    This stuff has been known, in extreme cases, not only to make erections impossible but to numb all sensation below the waist to the knee. NOT kidding.

    PERMANENTLY.

    Do some research before you mess with this.

    Or call Loraina Bobbett's crazy ***.

    I think the best punishment for them would be having to bang a rotation of Rosie O'Donnell, Rosanne, and Amy Winehouse on a daily basis.

    If thats an option for anyone, I strongly recommend necrophelia as an alternative. It's pretty much the same thing at this point.

    I used to have a guy that worked with me and everyday he would make sick comments on young girls ages 14-17 or so. I told him to him to keep his mouth shut, which done no good. so, one day I went home looked at the megans law website and found his sick ***

    what even makes it worse, it was his own kids he messed with

    I have no sympathy for guys like him

    Got a link to where this has been mentioned? I've never heard of this at all. Not saying I don't believe you. Obviously if this is true I should probably be reading up on it. Like I said, I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever, but you should definitely talk to your doctor about it if you're thinking about it.

    And yes it is just a pill.
