Going bald is big deal for men
I’m 20 years old, and I’m already balding pretty bad. It’s my hairline and the top of my head. It’s getting worse, and I have a good feeling I’m going to lose a significant amount of hair by the time I’m done with college. I joke with a senior on my team who’s going through something similar, but he’s three years older than me and doesn’t have it as bad. I’m sure I’m not the only guy my age with this problem, but it doesn’t seem anywhere near common. It’s starting to hurt my confidence pretty bad, because it’s an obvious issue and I don’t know that I can do much to stop it. Rogaine is expensive and takes forever to help, plus I would need to use it for the rest of my life. I’m a pretty confident guy, so this struggle is new to me. Let me know if you have any advice.
