I had a very full head of hair not 4 years ago. It is now thin and there is a proper bald crown developing as well as a receding hairline. Not very flattering!

I’ve had a rather nasty health hiccup and a continuing course of medication (thyroxin) that means that hopes for my hair are rather remote.

So, assuming it gets bad enough and I get vain enough (chances are high smile) to do something about it, what are the options out there?

Let’s say money no object, and you’ve got Wayne Rooney moolah (not saying I have!) what are the proper, non-hack, non-con options out there?

So it's Friday and I am bored, so I have turned to wondering: is there any hope for a miracle pill, i.e. a cure any time soon?

Productive suggestions as well as Friday afternoon banter both welcome.

Not many treatments. Better to just shave it off rather than look a tit, likely hood is that I'll be going bald soon, most of the blokes in my family have.

Have you thought about befriending Carlos Tevez? People will be so enamoured with your pet Tazmanian Devil that your shiny barnet will not register.

I've recently taken this step, after following in my fathers genetic footsteps and loosing most of my hair before hitting 24 frown

Comb over, they look fabulous.

I'd have one myself but the mrs said if I stopped shaving my head she'd start cooking my dinners again.

The small print says;

So, is it a cure for baldness? Alas, no. The chemicals need some hair to cling to so, if you’re completely bald, that’s the way you’ll stay.

You can bet your bottom dollar that labs all over the world are frantically trying to find a reliable non-surgical baldness 'cure', for the simple reason that when they do, they could literally write their own cheque. Millions upon millions of men will pay for it without question.

It would make them more money than finding a cure for cancer.

The product coats remaining hairs with thousands of microscopic colour-matched keratin fibres, which volumise hair similarly to the way mascara thickens eyelashes.

confused Did you read the article?
