    Does anybody know what is the best product or men who are reseeding on top? Does anything work?

    A way for pharmaceutical companies to profit off the insecurities of men by medicalising a natural process.

    Castor oil is good you can look up tutorials on youtube. Hair supplements can be beneficial too, of course your hair follicles might be dead, if thats the case youre out of luck. Ask your GP perhaps?

    Kerastase have a product called "initialiste" that claims to make hair grow...it gets rave reviews, you massage it onto scalp, website called feel unique has it...I know a friend used it and it seemed to speed up her hair growth... its not cheap but feel unique often have sales and you can register for 10% off your favourite brand. also have you seen the alpecin shampoo ad for men. Don't know if it works but might be worth a look.also nourokin tablets shampoo etc supposed to be good.

    None of those treatments work, at least as far as you want them to. You are getting old, deal with it.

    Or get a hair transplant :P

    Mam had this problem recently and hairdresser told her go to peter marks and get shampoo and special type of conditioner. Have to say definitely thickened her hair and new baby hair growing. Would recommend. Don't know the name I can check with her.

    Im 27 and going bald, its in the genes, my dad has no hair and I started thinning young.

    I don't mach 3 my head but I get a zero all over, basically stubble all round.

    OP aside from a hair transplant your sh*t out of look, all those products are gimmicks that will just empty you wallet, you need to embrace it and accept it.

    I have a few friends who are thinning and they do ridiculous comb overs and such to try and hide it and it looks awful, one guy even a quote on a transplant and we are talking ridiculous money and they said they couldn't guarantee it would be a success long term.

    I can sympathize if you genuinely are upset about going bald, must be hard, but the best bet is to accept it and shave it in tight.

    Remember, baldness is nature's way of stopping young fellas getting stupid haircuts.

    Nioxin.

    It's fine, have used it myself as have family members. It must work differently on different people. For me and those I know, it's grand but not life changing. No new hair growth.

    Yeh it autocorrected to Nixon. :P

    I agree, it works for some and not for others.

    I don't know whether you want to try what my Indian girlfriends have been rubbing on their husbands' hair. Fresh ginger, skinned & squeezed to extract the juice & rub on head, if there is a warm feeling apparently that means it is working. It is cheap and easy and who knows, it might help. Leave it on overnight & shampoo in the morning.

    Dutasteride (Avodart 0.5mg) once a day, Nizoral shampoo 4 times a week leave in for 10 mins before wash out. An maybe if you want to throw Regaine into the mix, Varied reviews about it for hairline, but Avodart would stop it within months.

    The tabs might have side effects I've heard that's its not to be used while trying for a child with ur partner.

    :)

    Just looked that up and it seems even more effective than Propecia, but only licenced in South Korea.
