29 and balding. HELP!

Wow. Marrying into a bald family just to mess with your kid's heads.

That's some long range Bad Dad Joke planning there!

Doesn't really matter.. the kid has been wearing his hair 1/4" long since he took a set of dog clippers to his own head when he was 2.

I know from watching it with my own eyes, it can in some cases be fixed.

That put a smile on my face hahahahahaah

Nah. I’m going to figure this shit out and I don’t by the dht theory. Why? If it was dht alone, dht blocking shampoos would work. Neither my dad or brother are thinning as bad as I am. As I have low t, dht levels in theory are low. Dht may be a factor, but I’m guessing there is a relationship between neuropeptides and the hair follicle muscle as well as the little gland that produces wax to help the hair slide.

Stress? I had male pattern baldness start around when I was your age, and high stress times looked like somebody just took an eraser to parts of my hairline.

Making peace with it was helped immensely by remembering a saying from my maternal grandfather, who had even LESS hair when he was my age: "You can't have hair and brains both, son."

I don’t know how to slow down. It’s either work or sleep for me. Can’t stand sitting around and doing nothing.

I've lived like that and it didn't work out well for me in the long run. My advice is worth exactly what you paid for it, but learning to take some time off and get comfortable with it is an important skill.

As to the hair thing, I know some guys that use and swear by Keeps.

Be thankful you're a guy. I knew a girl with alopecia who lost all her hair in her early 20s. If a man's balding, well, that's life. Women can get over that. For a woman to be bald... That's rough.
