I grow my hair out every winter, and cut it every spring. I just got it cut, and a few days later realized something amazingly shitty - I am going fucking bald.

At 26.

My hairline has progressed like an inch back. When I got the haircut, I put my hat back on and went on my merry way. Just spent two days skiing and camping (ski tour) on the divide, with no hat. I burned the shit out of the spots that used to actually have hair. That's how I really realized it... I don't look in the mirror very often... I got the worst sunburn ever, because that spot has never seen the sun.

Any advice? Does Rogain actually work? Let it go and hope they solve the problem in the next few years? Shave it all off and say fuck it. Kill my grandpa? Anything...?
