Going bald at 25, HELP!

Pretty old post but I'll bite. I basically started going bald very quickly my Freshman year of College.(19-20) and by 21 it was gone. I went from having Harry Potter amounts of hair to nothing.

At first I was bummed, but I actually liked it. I use a #1 and use a Wahl trimmer and buzz my head. No more barber visits, I grew out a Goatee to look bad ass and never looked back. I wake up, shower, and goto work. No 10-15 minute hair prep, no more gel, hair spray ect, no more flakes from crappy hair products. Now at 30, I actually appreciate the baldness, more aerodynamic, and it rocks in the summer.

Yah I figure it won't be so bad. I was bald for a year or so when I was in the army and I must admit it was pretty badass, just shower, shave and you're ready to go. Even better now that I can grow a cool white power goatee to go along with it


I guess my fear though is just that once it's gone it will never come back. It's a part of me that will be lost forever. On the bright side though my hair is fussy and I can never get it to look good no matter what I do, i've had failed hairstyle after failed hairstyle. So it will probably be a relief to be able to just shave it off lol.

the brutal truth...get your muscles swollen up.
a bald skinny guy-uber faggy (not that there is anything wrong with that)
a fat bald guy-sloppy and never gonna get laid

I started going bald about the same age...i've always been pretty stocky but at that point i really started hitting the weights...now 10 yrs later i'm pretty yoked up and the bald head goes good with the swollen physique.
and shave that shit, the combover is not a good look

Haha dude no shit I was just in the bathroom looking at myself in the mirror and said to myself, "Well, if i'm going to go bald than i'm going to have to hit the gym more. The only bald guys that look good are the cut ass duke-nukem looking mother ****ers."

I just started working out again recently since I have to get my blood pressure down. The irony is that to get my BP down I have to lose some weight, but I also just got put on some beta blockers which pretty much act like a governor on my heart rate, so I can't run or do anythign that gets my heart going without feeling winded.

I was always anticipating going bald. I heard the gene is inherited from your mother's side. My mom has three brothers, all with male pattern baldness. Her father, my grandfather, rocked the comb-over as long as I knew him. I am now 30 and have no issues with hair loss. In fact, the barber always comments that my hair is too thick and I hate it when he goes to town with the thinning-shears because it makes hairs stick straight up. I also wear baseball caps on a regular basis when I am not working and I am pretty sure what WickedKitchen said is an urban legend. If you are balding, do not do what my friend did and get hair transplant surgery. He now has a scar running from ear to ear across the back of his head from the donor region which in my opinion looks worse than the slight thinning he had going on in the forehead area.... Just my 2 cents...

LMFAO...this is the best advice in the thread!! The same goes for those of us that aren't losing hair, but are just getting older. I'm 43 now, and have ALWAYS been in great shape, except for the last three years. I quit training altogether, and I'm not even sure why, lol. Gained 20lbs and lost quite a bit of muscle. Recently, I looked at a pic of myself and finally realized that OMG...I'm getting old, wtf, lol. The very next day, I began my cardio and resistance training again. I might get old...but I'll be damed if I get old in an out of shape body! **** that!
