I'm losing my hair and I don't know what to do about it! My dad is 51 and he basically has all of his hair. I'm not exactly a healthy eater but its not like I just eat crap all the time. It'd be a lot better if I was going grey instead.
I knew a guy in high school who was almost completely bald on top (like, Captain Picard style) by the time he was 18. Be thankful you at least got a few more years than he did!
Perhaps this isn't very helpful, but everyday a billboard on my way to work tells me "Does Hair Restoration Work?? Yes It Does!!" so maybe there's hope yet! The guy on the billboard looked pretty happy about it at least...
Same here, until I got to my 30's and then just said "to hell with it" took a razor to it and never looked back. If it's any consolation, many women don't give a ☺☺☺☺ if you're bald. Believe me of all the inherited traits a man can have, baldness is one of the least troublesome. If it stays an issue, save up your money and get one of those hair transplants when you're older.

Rogain works for some, but most of the men I've known that went for the transplant liked it better. I personally like my shaved head, my wife likes it too because "I'm easy to spot in a crowd."

Its not your dad you need to be looking at, its your mothers dad. Is Grandpa bald? Ask him when he started losing his hair. It isnt really that unusual.
Just grin and bear it. I've been going bald since the age of 17 or so, still got quite a good head of hair though its clear I'm going bald now. Just laugh about it, there's little that can be done about it, and accept it. As soon as you decide to accept it, you'll feel amazing.
EDH, on the other hand, is more like a monster truck rally. It's more about the spectacle than the race, the games go long, and it's not usually clear who's in the lead until there's only one truck left.*
Single player EDH is like two guys smacking each other with pillows... until one of them pulls out a shotgun.

That's an absolute myth. Oh, and another fun fact on human biology, all men's hairlines recede once again between ages 50-60.

Stress is a possible factor in hair loss, but it's most likely just genetics.
If it really bothers you, Rogaine is an option. It works pretty well if you're just starting to lose your hair, so if you want to do it, get on it as soon as possible.
I would say that thinning hair/receding hairline happens to about 90% of men...it's just a side effect of testosterone. Look around for it, you'll see it everywhere. Even famous Hollywood actors.
I started losing hair in my early teens. Nearly every male in my family, both mother's and father's side, was bald. You could see a doctor and see if there is another reason for going bald (my sister, for instance, nearly lost half her hair -- turned out to be stress and she's fine now), but for men...
Rather than trying to hide it (which will only get ridiculed), either get to confidence to not give a s* about what other people think, or shave your head, or both.
There are methods to regain hair, but the effective ones are hideously expensive, painful, and not work for a lot of people. Minoxidi (rogaine), for instance, really does work. for some people, and its expensive. Even the wealthiest balding men still use hairpieces.

Hair plugs is way more permanent, and some of my friends that have gotten it don't complain about the results. The one person I know that uses Rogaine *****es about the cost, but his wife also dyes his hair.. so yea.
Shaving is the cheapest, otherwise go with a very short cut and then let it gradually grow back in if you can't shave it all the way down. I had a "hair plug fund" for a while when I mused about it, until I used it to buy a new car. I dated for a long while with the shaved head, I got more compliments than negative results about it.
If anyone gives me a tough part about being bald, I just say, "At least I'm man enough to even it out than to try and hide it with a ridiculous comb over."

Finasteride as I understand it will definitely protect what you've got left, and might even stimulate regrowth of some areas as long as it's not too late. Basically, it takes a while for the hair to go away permanently, so with proper stimulation, the follicle can be caused to start growing again. Don't expect miracles, but it's not a lost cause if you get to it early enough. If all else fails, something like cyproterone acetate will definitely do it as long as you don't mind osteoporosis later on as well as potential liver problems (edit: since I'm not sure if it was 100% clear or not, me "recommending" Androcur there is just me being facetious, although the rest of my post is serious).
If you think 21 is bad, by best friend since grade school has been so obviously balding that he hasn't gone out in public without a hat since he was 16.
I myself have some gnarly widow's peak, but I can hide it pretty well just by growing my hair a little longer. Of course, I'm more worried about the gray hairs that have started to grow in (which are coming ridiculously early; thanks Dad :mad:).
Little you can do about it. I would recommend shaving all your hair once it thins out enough. Being bald looks better than a comb-over or any attempts to cover it up.
Just cut your hair very short or shave it off, like Captain Morgan suggests. The ONLY thing that would be worse for you that losing your hair is pretending you aren't losing your hair. Accept it, choose a style that works and move on.
I started thinning out a few years back (I'm 29 now), and didn't really care. It happens. I doubt I'll go for the full shave, but that's just me.
Whenever my aunt, who's a beautician, cuts my hair she likes to note that I'm losing hair, but I just tell her I don't mind, because it's not like I'm the one who has to look at it. I've rarely had anyone even comment on it, and those who did are friends.
It's much more common than you think. You get used to it.

I love the fact that you actually said Vegeta style. You mean a widow's peak?
