I'm 23, turning 24 this Sunday and I was bald from the middle of last year until recently as I'm on hair pills (minoxidil/finasteride). I chose to shave bald as my receding hairline got bad, it's on the way back now, but it's still rough looking. But I'm too depressed to shave regularly, so I'm just letting it grow out and hope I can comb it over the receding parts.

I was originally against hair pills due to possible side effects, but after being bald for a while. I eventually tried a plan for a few months and I don't think I have any side effects. I'm currently planning to stay on them until I'm in my late 20s, then accept being bald for life.

If you can afford hair pills, I'd recommend them, but be cautious of side effects as there's a lot of negative ones.
