hair loss question

i am a 26 year old male and have noticed since i shaved my head my hair in the front of my head, like the male pattern baldness spots have really thinned out. I used to have thick hair a few years back and now it seems to be thinning out on the sides and at the crown. This has happened very quickly so does anyone have any way to help me

Wink Re: hair loss question

hey there,
yes, i have the same issue..mine only seems to show more in the front when I shave my head..i hate it really
anyways, mine started falling out slowly when I was 30. i went to the doctor and he prescribed proscar, which works like propecia but its like half the price. Anyways, i started taking it and it did stop or at least really slowed down the hair loss. however, i noticed some mild side effects and i stopped taking it a month ago...now i am just waiting for it to fall out :0) i heard once you stop taking the medication..your hair loss will go ravid...LOL
Anyways talk to your doctor about medication, not everyone gets side effects and there usually not bad....another thing is buy nioxin shampoo
you need to get both the conditioner and the shampoo..it works.....if that does not do the trick, try rogaine. its another bandaid and will slow it down at least to the point where you dont have to worry about it till your 50 lol
i;m gonna go the surgery way soon.....i'm 36 and single..no bloody way i need to lose my hair....worry about that when i'm weighed down with kids and a wife...then i wont care....surgery is an option, though expensive it does work..though i've heard some horror stories. hopefully it will work for me....it can run around 2 to 4 grand depending on how bad your hair loss is...i figure thats not so bad considering the potential outcome

good luck dude

oh ya, when you wash your hair, don't rinse with hot water, use luke warm to cold.....
