I'm only 21, yet my hairloss occurs at an alarming rate. Now, I have a noticable bald patch, and my hairline is extremely high. I definitely want to say I am used to it, but the truth of the matter is no matter what, I feel extremely self-conscious.

I have tried using hairloss shampoos and lotions before, but have now stopped since I find them to be ineffective. I am a medical student, so I have done enough researches to know all of the predispositions to hair loss- stress, unhealthy diet, etc... And I have tried my best to avoid them all, to no avail. Of course there's another factor I can't beat- Genetics. Since both my Grandfather and Father have baldness too.

I would like to know if there are anyone out there who had the same problem and are on treatment? And wether the treatments are effective or not?

There are no promises, and I don't want you to get your hopes too up, but this worked for me, and very well too.

I was about 21 in college, and started losing it at the corner of my hairline. I grew my hair out a little longer, to cover up those little spots. But I was feeling dread of what was to come, my hairstyle looked sleazy and whack, and any girl I could get to talk too, I felt like I had to lock her down cause I only had a little bit of time left. My confidence was so low man. Sometimes I would wake up and feel like I was in a nightmare as soon as I woke up. I never even thought of looking in a mirror, and in my books that I'd study, hairs would fall out.

One night I went out to a club, and cause of the sweat, it made my hair kind of wiry and thin, and some girl that went out with us said "oh my God, you're going bald", like I didn't know.

I went to my mom depressed and told her. She called the family doctor I had since I was a little kid, and he said come in to see him, he had something.

I thought it couldn't be. I had even looked into hair transplants and propecia. Hair transplants are expensive, don't always work, and don't stop the hair from falling back. Propecia seems to work for some people, but its expensive, takes a while to work, and can cause impotence.

Sooooo, my doctor told me to use minoxidil. This is Rogaine. I had looked at it in the store and the box said it was only for the crown of the head (the back). I told him this, and he said no, it just wasn't tested there, so they can't put it in the box.

So I start using it, and I see my fake hairline combover start to get thicker within a couple of weeks. I looked under and I saw little hairs start to grow back. Not all the way to the old hairline, but still moving forward.

So I used it every day and night, and started seeing more and more hair growin in, and feeling more and more confident and happy. Then about 6 months ago I came on here, and asked if there were hair thickening shampoos. Some girl told me Nioxin. I went online, bought the second treatment system, for thin hair, and this combo has worked amazing. My hairline looks pretty damn good. I get a fade haircut, with what is called a tape (lining up the hairline) and it looks great.

Then the final awesome thing was, Rogaine just came out with a foam version. It absorbs really quick, and seems to have made even more hair grow out.

Try out this combo man, I think its potent, and I hope it works for you. I know what you're going through.

If it don't work, don't sweat it. As humans we adjust to anything, and are happy wherever we end up. With time we always get used to circumstances, no matter what.

And I personally know a couple of dudes that sport the bald cut (cause they have to, not cause they want to) who pimp way more girls than me.

Good luck man

Receding Hairline Treatment

2016-10-03 00:20:03 · answer #4 · answered by ? 4 · 0 0

I have suffered for about 10 years now and I've slowly lost my hair on the top of my head. Now at the age of 51, its looking like its going to be difficult to help it come back, so I've now resulted to a very short cut on the sides so its not as noticeable.

I've tried many different sorts of hair restorer products, and I dont know if you tried it, but I found regain worked a little when I first started losing my hair. It stopped me losing anyway but as I found it quite expensive, and ended up giving it a miss. Now I'm looking for something that dose not cost an arm and a leg.

I came across and a guide called 'How To Stop Losing Your Hair Naturally' so last week I bought it for $39. It was delivered online and split into various segments. What I like about it is the fact that most of the remedies suggested can be found at the shops as everyday items and they dont cost hardly anything. I will include the Youtube link if you want to find out more.

I know its very frustrating and can be a little depressing, but I feel a bit better now Im trying these natural treatments and hopefully find one that is suited to me. We are all different and some things work for some and not for others. Just keep an open mind and don't give up hope. By the way, I think that my mothers side of the family have had the same problem so it may well be hereditary.

Well there are only two "approved" options. Minoxidyl and Propecia. Minoxidyl is a liquid or foam that you put on your scalp. It, generally, works best at the top rear of your head (the crown). Propecia is a pill that inhibits DHT. Propecia might be more effective but it may also have more side effects. And you could try using both together. You will have to use each of these for the rest of your life to maintain any benefits they may bring. Another, new, option is the Laser Comb! It's basically a brush with a couple LED's attached. They are said to stimulate hair follicles back into a growth mode. It was one of the options featured on the Dateline news show that showed significant improvement along with Rogaine and Propecia. It's expensive though. Other then these, everything else is basically a crap shoot of hard marketing and half truths coupled with large price tags.
Good Luck!
