    i'm 26 and on the same boat. You worried it's you going bald? Some times we thin out a little when you get older...specially if you have had thick hair all your life. I'm waiting for a clear sign that I'm going balding before i start to worry bout all that.

    Prevention is king. Don't wait for the problem to get worse, attack it early.

    Easy and cheap way to go now: Generic Rogaine (Costco, Sams, etc) & Saw Palmetto.

    If your only showing slight signs of thinning, you probably won't visually notice the shading. What portion of you head is thinning?

    Propecia is working for me its been 5 months since i started and my head is starting to fill out again. I'm taking the prevention route. I noticed I was losing hair, I knew balding was present in my family, so I started propecia as soon as i could.

    So have you used the propecia and steroids? What effects did it have? Test and non-test.
