Receeding Hairline.

[Dirty Harry]

You can 'delay' the inevitable by using Finasteride or Dutasteride, Finasteride is a specific type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It inhibits the enzyme responsible for regulating conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, the drug decreases DHT's effects on the hair follicles, reversing the process of hair loss.

Dutasteride inhibits both type I and type II, is more effective but with a price tag to match.

There's a few studies being done with Equol, a soy isoflavin, which seem promising, but nothing concrete yet.

The first two are the popular ones, with various studies to back them up, my advice though is to come to terms with it, it's a battle you won't win without having the huge funds it takes.

It's called shaving cream and a razor blade mate. Been doing it for donkeys years and women love a bald head (if you got the head for it).

Nothing you can put on your scalp is going to make any dfference other than by synthetically coating your remaining hair.

Don't assume that receeding is necessarily the start of a slaphead future. Male pattern baldness is a loss of hair around the front/temple area and generally progresses to a point then stops.

If you are losing hair from the crown, you are going bald. so get it cut short and learn to love your head - because it's going to shine for you.

Hi Blues,

Starting to get the dreaded receeding hairline and was wondering if anybody had any tips or "know hows" on how to stop it?

I've been using a shampoo called Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo which works great so far as I have found less hairs on my pillows and in the shower etc...

One mate of mine uses Regain Foam and states its a big con, you have to use it for life otherwise if you stop your hair just receeds back at a alarming rate he says.

Please please put me out of misery and offer me any advice if possible.

Thanks.

Try syrup of figs mate. A lot of fellas in my Ceroc class swear by it.

your safest bet is to grow it and comb it towards the more balding areas

just shave it you bald ****

There is a boy in my son's year at school (11) he's turning 16, who is shiny bald on top, with hair on the back and sides. From the back he looks about 60/70. Now that's a terrible shame, as he always looks embarassed when i see him.

I'm not sure I've got any reason to be on this thread.

Hmmm, the only sure-fire way to naturally stop going bald is to chop yer nads off.

Which, on the whole, is a tad drastic.

So learn to live with it chap, mine started going when i was nineteen, am 48 now and its nigh all gone now, and I can honestly say it has never stopped me in anyway! Just do what others have said, cut it short, and get on with your life!
