22 years old and my hair is thinning to the point of baldness.

Try using coconut oil and apply it every day. Massage your head [with oil], keep it warm (wear a hat outside), avoid using shampoo with sulfates.

You will be fine :smile:

Pattern baldness is typically caused by your hair follicles being overly susceptible to DHT binding, so most stuff you use on the surface of your hair won't do much, except for maybe minoxidil which can take a very long time to show results. You can of course take tablets to stop this mechanism from occurring by blocking DHT, but they come with some potentially nasty side effects, such as impotence, headaches and generally feeling unwell. They're the sort of thing you'd have to take for the rest of your life as well.

You can get a finasteride prescription either from your GP, or even apparently just from a brief online assessment at a high street druggist. It looks fairly expensive though, and it according to wikipedia it doesn't actually make any long term improvements, once you stop taking it.

While it's probably distressing now, realistically it's not that bad a thing, and there are plenty bald guys that are no worse for it (or for that matter, unattractive).

Onion juice should do the trick, although it does take a couple of months. I think it works by providing vitamins to your hair follicles.
Also, as someone said before, coconut oil
Your diet can also be an issue, so make sure you are drinking plenty of water, and having a balanced diet

On the positive note, baldness can be styled as highly masculine if styled properly, and wearing glasses can be an option as a fashion accessory. This is my plan in the case of going bald.

I do know websites which say that argan oil is good, but the reason why I say onion juice is because there are websites which give statistics showing hair regrowth, and there are lots of people who agree that onion juice works if you look at different websites.
Apply it twice/thrice a week for a couple of weeks.

I'm sorry but it's probably time to give it up and accept this is a losing battle.

Shave it off and grow a beard. It can actually look quite good.
