You do have a few options: there is Rogaine which can help (requires a prescription and some careful handling, and will take quite a while to make a visible difference).

Not any longer. Rogaine can be purchased direct or off the shelf at your local drug store. Some hair restoration products still do require a prescription but I believe it's those that contain steroids.

So,im 19 years old and unfortunately have a receding hairline(Thanks Dad).I have recently become of the problem that this could be something that knocks my confidence when attracting girls.

This is the advice i need. Should of shave my head? (My dad rocks a shaven head but he is 49).

..Receding really bad aswell...

If not shave it,what haircut could i possibly have?!

Advice would be REALLY Helpful.

Cheers.

Hey Mo, If you are still hanging out lurking... My 2 ¢ FWIW.

Cut it very short, once a week, using a #2 beard/hair trimmer setting on a rechargeable cordless cutter, such as Philips Norelco T970 Accuvac. The vacuum feature avoids 95% of the mess of trimmings on the sink, floor, or counter.
• You can do it yourself.
• It takes 5 minutes.
• It saves the cost of visits to the barber shop, shampoo, and conditioner.

I prefer close-crop trimming over shaving (which I was doing for several years) because the feeling of just a bit of hair is more comfortable (for me) than a shaved head, and (I think) it looks more acceptable for the mainstream business community. A shaved head may look too odd to some people.
