I've been talked into all kinds of anti-bald treatments (by my father, who seems obsessed over hairloss), even spent a bunch of money... I didn't really care, much, but when you're told like "omg you can have more hair" one may still jump at the opportunity.

I've also tried shaving, and it's a TON of work, and opinions are varied whether it looks good on me or not. Beards/moustaches don't favor me either (I've tried the fumanchu handle moustache thingy...)

In the end, the only advice I can give is: leave well alone. Seriously. Hair is hair, it's not important, so just keep it short (in my case, because it curls up strangely and ends up looking like Krusty the Klown's) or not, however you want, but forget about whether the "hairline" looks "balding" or not.

it should also be noted that using rogaine usually results in short term INCREASED hair loss, before new growth. It makes your hair look a bit greasy too, and you won't see results, if any, for 2-6 months. Personally I saw some decent improvement(fuzz in areas that were bare/thinning). It helped disguise the fact that I was losing it, but nothing other than surgery will give you actual hair. I stopped using it and most of the improvement went away. Now I just keep it super short on the sides and pretty short on top. It also helps if your hair is lighter colored since it reflects more light and makes hair seem less thin.

You still get to keep your beard? (If you have one.)
If so, a full beard plus baldness is the way to go.  :D

just remmber surgery will have to get hair from somewhere, and in the end it will not give to back your full down your back hair, it will make it look like your armpit thou.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.
