/fit/ all of my hair is falling out, and I'm only 18. I have no clue why it is falling out, either. I shower every day, shampoo and conditioner (both Aussie Moist). I feel it might be stress related, but recently I've been really laid back, or perhaps a mineral deficiency (zinc?). I'm pretty concerned because, I don't look too good bald, I look pretty feminine, actually. Does anyone here have any suggestions?

Male pattern baldness, nothing you can really do, it happens to guys as young as 15

I was worried about my hair falling out, but then looked back at my old pics and realized I've always had a high hairline.

I've heard conditioner makes your hair fall out easier. No idea if it's true, though.

It's not moderate, or at least it doesn't seem moderate, if I brush my hair back with a brush, there is about a handful stuck in there. And it's been going on all year, worse and worse as it progresses.

Are you underweight? When I was underweight/malnourished my hair was thinning rapidly.

propecia + rogaine. Might as well give it a shot. Also, if you're losing your hairline you could always get the hair transplant surgery.

As far as my hairline receding, I can't detect any major changes, although a lot of the hair seems to come from my bangs and sided.

You will need to drop the feminine part now. Unless bald women are the rage in the future.

Makes me think of those fucking male emos and when they reach age 40.

wash your hair less. see how long you can go without it looking disgusting and stick with that schedule.
Otherwise you're depleting important oils and such.

I wash my hair every two days.

I'll give that a shot, but when you say wash, do you mean using shampoo and conditioner? Or should I avoid getting my hair wet as well?

>>163005

Just Shampoo and conditioner

Toughen up princess -- male pattern baldness is fairly common. Some people's hair start to fall out as soon as they hit puberty.

Getting it wet is okay, just brush it to get tangles out before you shower and just let it get completely wet but don't shampoo or condition.
>> Anonymous
Shave it. If you shave it when you're younger, you won't lose it as fast when you're older

Guess it kind of defeats the purpose though.

Make sure you take a daily multivitamin in case you have deficiencies. When showering, get your hair wet and rub your scalp... that's always good for you; what's not necessarily good is all the stuff in the goop you're putting on it.

MPB can start early; this may or may not be what's going on.

You might have iron deficiency. I also had it once and lost hair quite a lot. Fixed it by taking iron supplements and then checking out which foods were rich in iron and correcting my diet.

Suprised this hasn't been said yet, do you dye your hair constantly? If you do it can make it fall out

Some of us just weren't meant to have thick, lustrous hair (or just blame your grandpa), Anon.

I'm 18 and my hair line is getting pretty thin. I look back at pictures from 3-4 years ago and i had really thick hair. On top of that, i usually have really greasy hair, too.

Fuck! I hate my genes so much. :<

Sorry old chap, seems you might have a case of the MPB, in which case people will give you all sorts of shitty and mis-informed and disgusting advice such as>>163172, I also highly doubt (though I don't know you) that it is the result of malnourishment so vitamins are just a waste of money (which in fact they almost always are, a way of making expensive piss, well unless your diet is piss poor, piss on that, eat better, it's cheaper and makes it so that you don't piss as much money away).

Sorry buddy, the fact of the matter is that you'll probably just have to start asking yourself "why I am so BALD".

Bill is hot to trot, I'd bang him out every which way I can find. Also, he's the only man I'd make that exception for to this day. His gorgeous androgyny makes me not so ashamed about it, or even question my sexuality.

I'm pure straight, but he's fucking entranced me.

depending on your hair type you may have to wash your hair less. Hair isn't supposed to be washed everyday especially if its longer than 3 inches.
Oils that go from your roots never have the chance to get to the ends and will basically rot the hair from inside out.
on top of that, flat irons, blowers, and hair dryers of any kind accelerate this at an alarming rate. Honestly wash hair less i would say like 2 times a week would suffice. Anymore and you might be bald by the time you are 24
>> noko
you are shampooing to often, try shampooing every other day (i know it sounds gross). i had the same problem because i was washing my hair to often
>> Anonymous

Not OP, but this is different from person to person and it depends on what type of shampoo you're using. A lot of shampoos have foaming agents that are known to damage hair follicles and cause hair loss...I know VO5 is one brand that is considered safe and doesn't contain these foaming agents.

Also, if you don't condition, your hair will be much more brittle and more prone to falling out in the shower. Generally, the only people who need to alternate shampoo days are people with long hair, because daily shampooing makes their hair way too fucking puffy.

It's because you wear a hat. when you wear a hat (especially in the sun) your head bakes under the confinement of the hat making you lose your hair. as far as getting your hair back? not sure. just don't wash too often, pat dry your head instead of rubbing like it's your cock.

hair is supposed to fall out, it's when the hair doesn't grow back that's bad
also, rogaine and propecia might help

as another anon said, there's nothing you can do about bad genes, and at this point in time there's no guaranteed method to keep your hair.
Kinda makes me rage at medical science; all the time and all the money that's been spent on research and treatment and we barely know more about the mechanics of MPB than we did 50 years ago, much less how to prevent it

A) Rogaine IS propecia. Propecia is a natural hormone, Rogaine is just a brand name that it's marketed under.

B) We know plenty about MPB. It's caused by a mixture of genes and TESTOSTERONE. Propecia is an anti-androgen that blocks testosterone, which in turn usually halts balding. There are stronger medications you can for this type of thing, such as spironolactone and cyproterone, which will also help clear up acne...at the cost of your manhood. This is the kind of stuff transsexuals take to grow tits and halt masculine traits, which is why it's generally unappealing to your average straight male.

There are a lot of ways to prevent MPB, it's just that they come at a price most men don't want to pay. The only other thing you can really do is get one of those follicle transplant surgeries that are supposed to work so well.

Other than that, well, you can look at balding as a sign of high testosterone.

>A) Rogaine IS propecia. Propecia is a natural hormone, Rogaine is just a brand name that it's marketed under.

WRONG. Completely. Rogaine's chemical name is minoxidil. Propecia chemically known as finasteride.

>Propecia is an anti-androgen that blocks testosterone

Closer, but still wrong. Finasteride actually blocks the enzyme Type-II 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, which is the most likely culprit in male pattern baldness.

Hair transplantation works.. for around 6 months. Then you have to go in for a touch up when your hair starts falling out again. At a cost for $1 a hair, and to make it look normal when transplanting you need 2000-7000 hair follicles to be transplanted, the cost is painfully prohibitive.
