receeding hairline

[lanky]

Over the past few months i have noticed my hairline is starting to recede and is thinning out on the top. i dont juice or anything. i have switched to a different shampoo, which does not have any conditioner and was wondering of that could be the cause of my hairloss? any tips or suggestions. BTW.... IM 19 YEARS OLD. Am i screwed?

Juice not the only reason for hair loss. Could be a possible genetics from parents. If your father is bald or even little from your mother then they could have passed the gene to you.

Since your not fully bald. I would consult a Drx. Maybe he could give some advice.

 

[joey10j]

try some nizoral and minoxidil. worked great during my last cycle and i'm 19 too.

 

[GFI]

It could be many reaons for your MPB....At 19, I feel your concern and my best advice for u is to see a MD...especially a dermatologist..Also, not saying you are but if you use rec. drugs like cocaine or speed like substances, these will and can promote hair fall out....

im totally drug free, My dad is completely bald except for the back and sides and the men on my mothers side have very little hair as well. my two older brothers have a receeded hairline and they are 28 and 30 years old. Is nizoral shampoo by prescription or over the counter.

Bro, you are screwed! Just accept it and shave it now so you can say you shave by choice not necessity.

 

[lanky]

OH BOY, IM not the kind of person who would look good with a shaved head because i am 150 lb at 5'10. I'll look like a rat. I think ill grow a mullet and move down south . I guess i have to accept it.

Hey, I've been going bald since I was 17. No big deal. Suck it up and deal with it.

thats not good

Yeah, you should try the nizoral. Maybe propecia also. See a dermatologist, you might have a reversible scalp condition which can be treated. You might have a some of the many forms of alopecia, and some are reversible, and can only be detected by a dermatologist. It has a small part to do with diet and more with genetics. Take vitamins which improve hair health such as niacin and biotin, and some vitamin E for a better skin and scalp condition.

There is a over the counter version you can get at the drug store. There is a prescription version also.

RE:

Dont wear caps or hats, they make your hair fall out, My one friend is 18 and is bald coz he wore a cap every day

Just my advice

 

[bunnymt]

From what I have read and heard, wearing hats and caps have little to nothing to do with hair loss. Hair loss is based upon genetics and such other factors as steroid use, for example.

Good luck and use Nizoral to keep preserve the hair you still have!
Try not to worry about it too much..it is not that big of a deal.

Sincerely,

Bunny

Just so you guys know.. it doesn't matter if your dad is bald or not.. your dad could be bald at 18 and you get to keep all your hair...

The gene responsible for male pattern baldness is carried on the X chromosome. This gene is recessive. Which is why very few women get bald.. they have to have TWO bad X chromosomes to be bald.. which is rare.

For men you have one X and one Y.. you get the Y from you dad and it does not contain the gene for baldness...

To best predict your own fate.. look at your MOM's dad. (your grandpa on your moms side).. that should help.

My mom's dad was bald at 25... completely.. luckily I am 25 and still have a full head of hair.. just slightly receedingon the sides but not much.

Propecia can help if you get bald on the back of your head... but for baldness on the sides you are pretty much screwed..

why do u say that? byt sides you mean receading hairline? why wouldnt propecia help?

 

[Lestat]

Well Propecia and Rogain makers will claim that it helps stop the receeding hair line on the sides.. maybe it does, it won't really help it grow back from what I know.. but those drugs are MOST effective on the bald spot on the back of the head.

i went to the derm a few weeks ago and he said on my next visit he will prescribe me propecia. He told me it will cost roughly $30 a month. Should i "persuede"(sp) him to prescribe proscar and tell him i will split the pills into 1/5. He told me that i have temporal recesion around the sides and diffuse thinning, i showed him a picture from two years ago and he fealt sorry for me. He was very understanding of my condition because he is startng to get a slight bald spot in the back.

i wish i had this much hair

My husband is balding. He shaves his head anyway though. It's very sexy.

I always wondered about the heredity thing. My husband's father is half bald, but his mother's father had tons of hair.

My mother's father was very bald. My brothers are in their late 40's and show no sign of hair loss. My hair is very thick.

 

[Lumbuss]

get a rug you fuck, it will be cheaper in the long run. you wont have to worry about it falling out, and they can be undectectable....all you stupid fucks who say they aren't are morons....people cant tell a rug from real hair to save their ass...get one with actual hair.

it will be cheaper and you will be happier, nothing else really works...if you have nasty hair like me that you cant do anythign with..you will be able to chose your hair now.

im going to get one

rogaine is shit it doesnt work...nizorol and sp are both a joke for hereditary hair loss..period.

?? baldness skips a generation, so his grandpa would have to be bald, anyways if your only 19 and are experiencing this its probably genetic! get over it! try some products that slow it down....

You can get Finasteride 5mg, here for $44.95 for 60 pills. Propecia is 1mg of finasteride, what I do is use a pill splitter and split the 5mg pills to four sections. I take 1.25 mg for four days on, one day off (finasteride has a long half life). Doing it this way you get 300 days of treatment (60 pills x 5 days) for only $44.95. This can't be beat.

And it's the real shit, I've used it for almost one year, and all hairloss forum users will attest to its authenticity.

Also, you can get minoxidal 5% (kirkland brand) at Costco (U.S) for $20.00 for four 2 oz bottles (4 month supply). And yes, it does help the hairline in spite of what the instructions say.

i started using nizoral even though i have no probs! i am scared to death of losing my hair!

 

[PANTS]

ON the Nizoral (2%) packaging it says to use it once a week.
How often do I need to use when "on".
Is it continued after?

If your hair can handle it, use it daily because DHT builds up on the scalp continually. But Nizirol can dry out your hair if you use it too often. Try to use it at least twice a week.

Tip: Leave it in your hair for at least 5 minutes for better absorption.

As far as being "on", I don't know, never have been "on", in that sense.

 

[kamaboko]

shave it all off and call it good. hell, it could be much worse. hell you could have cancer or something. it's just hair.

If you're 19 and seeing signs of genetic hair loss, my advice to you is to free your mind of concern about it, and enjoy what hair you have - while you have it!

I'm 33 now, and I noticed the first signs at 19 also. I thought it was the end of the fucking world. By my mid-20's, it was worse. By my late 20's, worse yet. Now, in retrospect, I realize my hair was really fine from 19-25. I wish I would have not concerned myself about it then.

Right from 19, and along the way, I tried every damn thing - to the fullest extent & religiously. The bottom line is that it is all shit. The best of them had only moderate results THAT DON'T LAST. You have to use the stuff forever, and even if you do, you build up a tolerance so the effectiveness drops way off. And even when they work at their best, they do not give you what you are looking for in your early 20's (hair as full as your good hair). I sure wish it weren't true, but it is all a waste of time & money. If you are gonna use anything in your early 20's, try the cosmetic products (masking/coverups) like couvre or cover-up. (no, I don't work for them). Or even creative use of hair-gel.

As for me, my hair is now 50% gone, so I just shave it. It's a big pain. Plus, I have to make sure my head stays fairly tan so I don't look like cue-ball. The only thing I would consider now other than shaving is a quality hair system. I don't care to blow the cash on it now. Yes, I'm still a little bitter about it. I still feel going bald so early robbed me of my youth, and distanced me (in appearance) from my peer-group. But if you're 19, enjoy now! It's managable now - you'll have plently of time to be pissed about it in your late 20s.

thanks bonapart, im currently using the creative use of hair-gel to cover up the sides , im gonna take your advise on not worrying about it, lifes to short to be concerned about it, but sometimes it gets to me. A girl i havent seen in a year picked it out at a party(upset me) and my friends were making fun of me, but i exercise while they drink beer and the person who laughed at me now has a double chin and a fatty moon face after a year of college.
