The best thing you can do is just get over it. As somebody who's tried almost everything that seems like it has a chance, it's a genetic problem. It's aggravated by stress and other conditions.

The only "solutions" you consider are wearing a hair system (toupee of real hair), drugs (finasteride, minoxidyl, plus hair transplant if you want), or a care-free attitude. I personally go through phases of caring and not. Life's just better when I don't worry about it.

Also I want to add, I personally think that understanding baldness and "curing" baldness is one of the biggest solvable problems we have as humans today. It can't be that hard to stop the process of hair loss, scientifically. Or at least growing hair in the lab and transplanting it onto the head, which I'm sure most people would be willing to do once every 10 years for a hefty fee. I know I would, if anybody knows anything please let me know!
