I'm a 17 year old senior and my hair has started receding. I'm a scrawny cross country/ distance runner with a buzz cut, so it doesn't look too good. It's screwing up my confidence and I'm not sure what to do. Anyone who has been through this care to give some advice?

You gotta cultivate the bald look and go for a 0 buzz cut from here now until the grave.
Just think of the cash saved on haircuts. -
i wish i WERE trolling.

Go with herbs and oils and exercise your scalp daily.

Start growing a huge ass beard and you'll be fine brah.

My first college roommate (age 17) had hair all over his body--except the top of his head. "Hey, Steve, take your coat off when you're in...never mind." -
Happened to me. I went from a long flowing mop to receding and eventually a hairline that rivalrd george constanza. I never looked back and just bic'd it clean.
However, I wasn't scrawny (for a runner) and still got the ladies. So while letsrunners brag about their 14 min 5ks. I'll take my 16:30's and regular lady bumpin'. Embrace the bald man. -
This happened to jamin too, and he turned out totally fine. Do a search for some of his threads. I wouldn't worry at all.

Don't shampoo that often, and if you do use the most organic stuff you can find; no strong chemicals.

That's Great!

Buy yourself a bad toupe to match your grammar.

Haha sucks for you. Enjoy dating your right hand for the rest of your depressed life. -
Any chance you wear the hair in a pony tail or man bun?
Minoxidil might work. -

How does one drag a buzz cut into a ponytail or man bun? -
My hair started receding in high school too. Stabilized in college and now that I'm 30 I actually have more hair than some of my friends. In general, receding hair lines look better if you buzz it rather than keep it long and try to hide it. There are of course exceptions such as the Jude Law picture posted above. To pull that off, what hair you have left has to be pretty thick though. I'm not so lucky, so I just keep it short.

Start Propecia or whatever. I'm in my early 30s and it's amazing how many people my age or younger I see around me are losing their hair or graying. I'm kinda vain and would totally freak out and take whatever measures necessary to prevent it.
