I'm 26 and my hair line I've noticed has started to do the typical adult male receding a bit, from the top of my forehead to the front of the top of my head, with the sides of the front cutting back a little further (see 1 and 2 below).

I've worn my hair long my whole life (since I was like 6) so this shows, at least in my mind, more prominently than it does on guys with average length hair. The men on my mother's side didn't go bald, but they definitely receded in the front to a 2 or 3 and generally got thinner, equally, all over.
While I've read the BB Megathreads (linked below for reference), I take everything they say with a grain of salt cause the guys on there have talked themselves into believing they have the cure for everything. I trust BG's input in this matter and I figure with how the core group all got involved in FFXI in HS/College we're now collectively a lot of 20-something and 30-something dudes facing this change or chicks who are dating/married to a dude going through this change.
Has anyone tried anything, be it procedures or products, to slow/reverse this change? I asked my PCP and he sorta laughed it off and said at my age with my hair its not worth the cost or the risk of side effects / medical allergic reactions. In lieu of any procedures or products, does anyone have any recommendations for haircuts that work with this receding, especially if you or your man has been a long-hair person prior to giving in to the inevitability of time? I'd rather get a jump on this early rather than wait til I'm halfway through the change before even exploring solutions.
