All my uncles and my grandfather passed away with a full head of hair. I will be 70 in two weeks and my hair is still growing like a teenagers! I've kept my brown colour too, Just a few flecks of grey, here and there. I've even got a Wahl electric trimmer, with which I give myself a quick 'Once over' every week or so.
I get by now by using Toppik, or a woolly hat in winter, and a summer hat in summer.
There are some fabulous wigs from New Zealand that have a suction cap, they can be worn for sport, swimming even sky diving and they don't come off accidentally. You need to be measured for one and it takes about 5 months to make them. I think they are about £1500.
I did try a wig when I first noticed my hair thinning, but I was always afraid it would blow off on a windy day.
There is a new Regaine just for women, it's a foam and you apply it daily, though I haven't checked out the price yet, I may, or may not, I don't know yet.
Good luck, you are not alone.
