One of my freinds had it and it hit him hard in as he was in his early 20s when it happened.
He wore hat's constantly and wouldn't go anywhere he couldn't wear one, which did put a strain on his social life.
However he eventually shaved it all off and is rocking the nude look with a stunning wife and 3 great kids.
For me i like bald guys, my hubby shaves his head. He looks weird with what hair he has left if he lets it grow.
Don't be disheartened and I know it will be hard but try not to get stressed about it.

My daughter had it from a young age. We tried everything but to no avail. Eventually the ex took her to see Danny Gallagher a 7th son of a 7th son. At first I was raging when I found out. But after 2 visits her hair grew back. True story |

Got it myself about 3 years ago, started as a very small patch and went up to one the size of a 2 euro coin, sought professional help and was told they is no known cure. Just cut my hair back and embraced it, after about 6 months the 3 patches I had grew back and no issues since.

I had it before and I was told it could be stress related. I wouldn't have considered myself as someone who was stressed easily but when I look back on it there was a few things going on. It may not be that but it can definitely cause it |

I had it too, teens, in secondary school. Hard going but when people were told what it actually was, they were fine.
As Hottie says above, coconut oil is great, and I used Argan oil, does the same job.
Mine grew back, it does happen.
I still comb a small bit of Argan oil through it now and then, full of vitamins etc, great for the scalp |

I had a social meet last summer with a guy, during chat he had said he had struggled with alopecia after a stressful time, showed me pics, would never have known he had a decent head of hair when I met him.
I like the bald look on guys and if someone doesn't like you cause of your hair or lack off, off with them. |

Bald is just as sexy as hair (sometimes more so) If there is any chance or reviving those follicles use coconut oil (not in any sun for God's sake or you'll roast) but it was something suggested to me a few years ago by my GP when I was loosing some of my hair due to stress. Not sure if it will help...but if anything youll be nice and smooth and smell good
