Its good for you anyway.

^^Truth! I do have thicker hair and I totally atribute it to Flax seed oil. HOWEVER.. I have also noticed that after taking alot of flax seed oil over a extended time I also get crazy long eyebrow hairs I have to pluck and the hair in my ears started growing! So not all positives ... ( I take 2000mg of flax oil wich is about 100mg omega-3 )

Ah, so that's what that is. My eyebrow hairs have started going curly and even reaching down into my eyeballs. It looks completely mental if I don't straighten them out (with spit and fingers - I don't have a whole morning routine with hair irons or anything.) I just figured it was crazy old man hair.

As for losing it - if it's going, please learn to let it go. There is nothing more tragic that trying to cover it up with a comb-over, or, even worse, trying to compensate by growing it long in other places. There is no cure for baldness, and every time I see ads for those hair treatment "clinics" on tv, I want to weep for the men who are so pained by their natural hair loss that they have to resort to being robbed by snake oil salesmen.

Wigs, however, I completely approve of. Make sure you get a nice bushy auburn one that doesn't match your side-burns.

Hahaha, excellent! There's your options right there.

(btw - in this thread the OP is worried about losing it, while in another, he's waxing it. Dude, hair: friend or foe? You can't go on all conflicted like this.)

At your next physical, get your thyroid checked. One fo the symptoms of hypothyroidism is hair loss. Might not be your problem, but worth checking out.

There's been some anecdotal evidence that Nizoral shampoo can help with hair-loss. Nizoral used to be a prescription only anti-dandruff shampoo but became an over the counter product a few years ago. If you want to try it use a few days a week and make sure it massage it into the scalp.
