My hair has always been thin and now that I hit 50 the bird nest in back is very noticeable. Luckily I still don't have grey hair but if I did so be it. My bro is three years younger and his just really went grey.
I did shave it once but the shape of my head did not work well with that look.
The older I get the less the hair on the top of my head grows but my beard grows faster. Go figure.
My advice is just deal with what you get. There is nothing more pathetic than some guy who obviously douses his hair regularly with black black #5.

As long as Willy-The-One-Eyed-Wonder-Worm rises to the occasion, hair is a non-issue.

Agree that Rogaine is of limited use, but couldn't disagree more about Bosley (and the others that perform HT). In my experience there are at least as many disasters as there are successes. And if you are really bald HT is not going to be able to harvest enough donor hairs to really help.

Grow a pair of heavy duty cahones and shave it off every 2 to 5 days max. Eazy peazy!!
Been doing this last 15 years !! No big deal. Hair treatment for loss is equivalent to girls highlights. Getting bald up there who cares???
MAN UP. BECOME A MANLY MAN. NOT A little winnie boy.

I agree on the HT treatments that are available now. You can only harvest so many follicles. PLUS, you leave a gaping line behind your head. There was an experimental procedure that "grew" your own hair follicles in a lab, thus creating an "infinite" supply for you. Of course, this sounded expensive. Not sure what came of it. If I were serious about HT, this would be the route I would go.

Been balding since my late 20s; here are a few lessons & observations since:
- Best decision I ever made was to buzz it all off & own it. It taught me that women who are worth having were more interested in what was in my heart, not on my head. Confidence, respect, integrity, & a sense of humor took me way farther than nice hair ever did. The attitude change of accepting it also removed a massive source of stress from my life.
- Focus on what you can control. For example, you may have to be bald but you don't have to be overweight too. I finally got my act together and lost 50+ pounds over the last couple of years.
- Be cautious about the meds. They’ve been around a while but are there independent, long-term studies on potential side effects resulting from prolonged use?
- About surgical options, seems to me bald guys with tons of cash (celebrities, athletes, et.al.) would be all over it if it worked. Maybe some are and it’s that good. But given the cost & uncertain results, I just keep circling back to my first point above.
- The fact that baldness is fair game for jokes & comments people wouldn’t dream of making about other physical attributes is BS, as is paying most barbers the same for a cut as Clooney-hair dude does (I buzz it myself but like an occasional barber job with the neck shave & hot towel). But hey, those are first-world problems I can live with.

It's genetic.
I have all my hair but I buzz it off since it's too much trouble taking care of it.

the first time i saw the top of my head after it started i immediately shaved it and never looked back. so easy and stress-free. I feel like a lot of guys stress out about it and try to hold on to what they have eventhough its obvious which can look worse. like he said^ Own it
ill say it time and time again
We can send spaceships to the moon but cant cure baldness lol
I'm 36 now and its been a struggle with products for the past 10 years now, ive come to the point where im just like army cut lets go own it.
I could never do the implants or fake rags which we see in LA
