Baldness is caused by excess male hormone, isn't it? The floppy haired ones amongst us must be too "girly" then ...

Must be influenced by your dad as well I would have thought? Look at our princes for instance. Poor old William is definitely going the way of HIS father!

I have heard that if you shave your head now, your hair will grow back stronger for the future.

Don't forget to post the pictures.



As an alternative, tattoo little rabbits on to your bald spot - from a distance they look like hares.

Four options:

1. Bobby Charlton - the master combover

2. Bruce Forsyth - the staple and weave

3. Terry Wogan - a different wig for every month

4. Stop worrying about it!

Oh and don't forget to apply some factor 15 in the summer so you don't get a bright red shiny one

Its a mixture of both genes but its predominately from your mother.The easiest way to tell is look at your mums brothers (if she has any).If they are slapheads it doesnt look good.
Having said that ,there is also a random element to it.My dad has a complete head of hair at 70,yet his brothers have lost quite a lot of theirs.

Can look sexy on some men and feels lovely when its just been shaved!

Other men look bloody awful tho, you either have the right face shape to pull it off or you dont. If you are going that way it may be worth getting rid of it all now, there is nothing worse than a man losing his hair but trying to cover it up!

Post a pic up so we can all have a look

Going the way of his father?....Uncle Edward more like.

Look at Harry,full head of hair.In 10 years time Wills the slaphead and Harry the hairy one will only add to the speculation about who their dads really are?????

Don't worry about it, I don't. But then again, I'm convinced I'm not actually losing any hair - it's just migrating from my head to other parts of my body
I call it "Migratory Follicle Syndrome"

It may seem like a big issue now, but as you get older you wont give a crap

My dad went bald at 21, my uncle at 17 and their dad/my grandad is also bald (and went early on).

I'm 32 and still have a full head of hair, albeit thinning a little now, but as mine is naturally curly (nightmare) i've had a number 1/2/3 for the past 10 years plus so it wouldnt bother me if I went bald anyway.

I'd wait until the warmer weather before shaving it off, it would be a bit of a shock this time of year, and you'd look a bit better with a bit of a tan on your bonce too.

Rubbish, my maternal grandfather had lots of hair and my Dad was bald at 30. I started going bald in my late 20's.

It you want to stop it, chop yours ***** off or start using Regaine and continue with it for the rest of your life.
