HAIR LOSS MINOXIDIL: I WOULDNT BE TOO SANGUINE ABOUT IT, BUT IT WONT HURT TO KEEP TRYING FOR ANOTHER FEW MONTHS.

Maybe: At age 23, you're a little bit young to have really-expressed male-pattern baldness. We all lose our hair on our temples; generally the guys who go on to lose more are those blessed with a lot of chest hair. Response to minoxidil etc is unpredictable. The Prince of Wales doesn't seem to mind hair loss, and your key to looking good is physical fitness rather than where you do / don't have hair.
