    Anybody have any experience with hair regrowth products like rogaine. My hair is getting thinner on top. Maybe rogaine doesn't work I could get a combover or donald trump wig

    I've been thinking about it but I ain't bald enough for that yet. You can really only tell when I Look down that it thinner in the front. Just trying to find something that hopefully works before it all goes.

    Not enough.
    Try scalp pigmentation. Like you, my uncle started to thin out on top but he had this done and it actually looks legit. Give the illusion that you still have full hair up top lol.

    example.

    I know this may not be much comfort, but just own it. If it is thinning, start getting your hair cuts shorter each time you go. If you use a 4 guard on the sides, next time ask for a 3 and use that for a few months. Then drop down to a 2, etc.

    By the time there is enough loss and you need to do something about it, everyone already is accustomed to you with short hair. Going to a shave or a no guard buzz cut will not be such a large jump in your appearance. This is my approach - no need to fake having hair or load up on hormones/chemicals.

    I'm going through the same thing and I have no issues losing my hair, just that akward stage between when you have and when you don't sort of sucks. When the time comes, I'll buzz it off and not even think twice about it. :cool:

    For the sake of your own integrity, don't do the combover...

    Shave that shit! I've got a full head and buzz it weekly.

    Beside, why add work for your liver & kidneys?

    I started using propecia and minoxidil a little over 6 months ago. My bald spot in the crown filled out, temples grew back and top thickened up. No side effects so far. Also use Nizoral shampoo twice a week.

    My hair is long gone. I was bald at 16. Shave it off. Low maintenance. No need for a barber, hair products, or wasted time trying to style it. On the plus side, cougars love shaved heads! :D

    Rogaine does nothing for a receding hairline. It is only for the moon spot on the crown of your head from what their directions claim. Also, once you start you can't stop from what I have read as well and it ain't cheap. I just decided it is much easier to go bald.

    mine is thinning out too. started using rogaine about a year ago. did not notice any regrowth, but i also have not noticed any additional loss.

    i would shave my head or at least buzz it but my head is lumpy as hell. i don't think it would look good at all...

    Mine is thinning up top. I used to let it grow during the winter and go buzz cuts during the summer. Now I just keep it short year round now that its thinning. Do a #1 myself every few weeks. Bought a clipper for what one trip to the barber used to cost.
