I've always had thin hair since I was little. I used to have a shaggy hair-do, just let it fly after it dryed after a shower, no styling or anything. Once I got sick of it, I had my buddy buzz my hair and I loved it and haven't stopped since. That was a year and a half ago. Shortly after, just checking out my face and such before bed time, I noticed how thin my hair was; I could see my scalp. I have widow's peaks but I never thought anything of them until then. Well a year and a half has passed, my widows peaks appear to have receded a tad higher on my crown and I feel as though I can see my scalp a little more. My friend commented on how it looked like I was going bald. I was devestated. If anyone has a similiar story and can tell me how they look now, I'd greatly appreciate it. Hell, share any stories about your hair thinning. I just need a confidence boost bad. Thanks!

My story is different from yours, but ends the same.
Up until I was 36 years of age, I had a full head of hair. Wore it spiked for years. Then suddenly, someone commented on my thinning hair. I decided to do something different with my hair anyhow and gave myself a buzz cut. It's then that I discovered the truth about my crown. I was thinning and even came here to this very forum and asked for advice. Someone told me, "that if you think you're going bald, then most likely you are" or something to that extent.
A couple of years later and it no longer bothers me, because I shave my head completely bald. I do this twice a month and I'm very happy with it. I no longer have to waste time with shampoo, gel, or getting haircuts.
I love being bald!
