There are a few different sprays and foams against hairloss that help some men (minoxidil for example). I had to use one for a while because my hair was falling out from stress years ago and it helped a lot.

There are also pills but they can mess with hormones so you will need to go to a doctor first and have you checked out if thats something you can use.

So go to a doctor or pharmacy they should give you more info

    Pretty sure that would make you go bald faster.

    That would probably make it much worse due to exhaustion.

    Have less testosterone.

    If you don't want to mess around with that then you'll have to get plugs.

    Pretty sure I'd rather have a cue-ball than go on finasteride.

    I'd be fine with plugs. Pretty sure that's what Elon Musk got.

    You don't. You accept that it's genetic, shave and move on. You look fine.

    On r/Tressless they talk about using Finasteride(Propecia) or topical Minoxidil(Rogaine) quite a bit.

    The first blocks the (over)production of the Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which causes thinning hair. It is said to induce lipid accumulation in the liver(leading to fatty liver) though.

    The second is a vasodilator that is speculated to improve blood flow to hair follicles and thus stimulate hair growth. I have heard that the existing hair on treated areas will shed before it regrows in again(thicker) though.

    The second seems to be considerably less risky to use. The cosmetic surgery route is also an option.

    It's genetic.

    Actually those seem like the opposite of the guys I'd want to ask.

    (just a joke)
