My 18 year old buddy has a receading (sp?) hair line already, and his dad was bald by the time he was 29.

As far as what to do I can't help you, sorry, oh I take that back, you can shave it all off and polish it up real nice. j/p

We had a guy in high school that was well on his way to bald his senior year.

My best friend is bald at 30. He started graying in High School and started losing it around 23 or so.

I had a buddy that was completely slick-headed by the time he was 21.

He!!, I started with the gray hairs when I was 18....Although I still don't have too many at 32.

I had a patch of grey when I was in my teens. Have a receeding hairline and a thin spot in the back, I'm 24.

Don't feel bad I lost It at 21 to I tried rogaine and every out there. So I gave up and shaved my head the best thing I EVER did the girls love it when ever I am out there is some hot chick rubbing my head It's a good icebreaker to just give it up your going to lose it any way.

Yea i do remember a few people in high school thinning out nicely... But nobody in my college was, wierd. HAHA, i though about shaving it all off, id prolly look to mean or to goofy. Wow being bald at 30 and even 21!! thats pretty harsh! I have seen a few young people going gray, like 1 hair at a time, never seen a patch of grey. Was it like a jay leno patch (only inverse ha)? My mom says I have more hair then my dad did at my age so thats good i guess. Funny though, i cant grow a beard yet but my hair is falling out, haha. I bet you soon people wont have any hair at all.

Well, good thing you did the shave-off at your current age than I did at my middle-age. I'm 55. Gave it up. Shaved it off two years ago. Fought the thin hair thang from 25 years of age until then. That is three decades of fighting it.

BUT, the scary part is having middle-aged women rubbing your shaved head. That is positively frightful. I don't even want to go there....

I am 25 now and still love it. I was lucky to have a perfect round head. Just give it a try if you don't like it let it grow back. Then you could try the COMBOVER women love the homer simpson look.
