A guy in his 20's who has naturally fine hair - it's receding and a small bald spot is starting to appear which means that maybe 2-3 years down the line he will be noticeably quite bald. it currently looks a mess in the morning before it's washed which he hates - subesquently it knocks his confidence - the idea of waking up next to a woman looking like this (he is currently single) is one that provokes anxiety.
He has buzzed it short before to resolve this but gets fed up with the nasty comments from people (why have you done that,,,grow it back, men look ugly or like thugs with shaved heads etc etc)
Hair treatments don't work apart from one which is untried (but involved altering hormones and possible sexual side effects). A hair transplant is not an option.
It is getting him depressed, particularly with the comments from people. What would you advise?
Sounds like he has to somehow either come to grips with the situation. Balding is prevalent among men. Or, find a treatment or avenue of doing something about it which works for him. (and if shaving his head works for him, he then should just ignore the haters).
I can totally understand your anxiety about this although in my case it's my eyes. Without a little liner and mascara my eyes cease to exist and that is most definitely not a good look for me at any time of the day, least of all first thing in the morning. (I even briefly considered having permanent eyeliner tattooed on my lids to deal with this but...) Chances are though that if she thought enough of him to sleep with him that the hair thing won't really be a deal-breaker for her.

Dude, you are going bald - so what! Who cares. Deal with it. You don't need drop a ton of $ to mask it. Be a man and embrace it.
What about shaving your head? I find bald men sexy Vin Diesel, Bruce Willis, and Howie Mandel are just a few who come to mind. But completely bald, not comb over.
I agree with the others. Shave it off! My nephew starting going bald in his 20's also. He just shaved his head. My husband embraced thining hair and he shaves it too. There is nothing more unattractive than fake hair that really looks fake or the sad "comb over". Bald is beautiful and I know guys with hair that just shave it down anyway because they like the way it looks on them. It seems that it's becoming a popular thing.
Shave it daily and grow a goatee or mustache! My son:-) has been doing this for years and he doesn't look like a thug. That depends more on tats, clothes, and jewelry.
