The thing about caps making you lose your hair is a myth. It's just that balding guys tend to wear caps so people started making the association. If covering up hair made you lose it, then nobody would have chest hair, leg hair, back hair, or pubes.
After reading this thread of postings, I had all the amunition I needed. I had my fiance' trim me up at 1/8" length. She LOVES it and I'm a lot less self conscious about the way I look. I starting balding at 19 and now, at the ripe age of 25, the hair style I had my whole life was looking like a comb over. I probably thought about my hair 75% of the time. I was depressed. Not to knock anyone else, but if you start losing your hair in your 30's or 40's its readily acceptable. When you are in your early 20's your whole life feels like its crashing down. Now for the real reason for my posting - Thank YOU to everyone who posted. You liberated a youthful soul!

If you have quite fair hair you can bleach it blond and the baldness won't show so much, although this only really works in the early stages.
You can also get a product called Dermatch that is basically makeup that covers your scalp, again, only works in the early stages of baldness.
Don't mess about with wigs or hair transplants, they're way too much trouble.
The only combovers I have seen that work are when you just make a 'bridge' between the narrowest part of the bald spot on the top of the scalp. As soon as you start trying to cover your whole head with long strands or having a parting below the normal height, don't bother.
Best thing once it's too gone to cover up, just trim it short to around 1/4 in and spike it up a bit on top. Don't shave it off completely because you'll look like a cancer victim.
