I think the picture that you have posted is going to make young people who may have lost a little hair (i.e. maybe a little temporal recession) think twice before complaining. They are going to realize that their hair loss situation is not as bad as they make it out to be.

I think he is using Toppik or a similar type of concealer. I feel that if he had gotten a hair transplant, he would have brought his hairline more forward in addition to adding thickness to what he already has.

Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that is necessary in order to promote hair growth. Seafood is an excellent source of vitamin B12. If you can eat a couple of servings of seafood per week, it would be great.

I believe that finasteride can help with diffuse thinning but of course it is going to work for some and not others. I think you can try it and if you start to see hair growth you can continue to use it, but if you do not experience any hair growth, you can consider some of the other options...

If the hair at the back and sides of your scalp doesn't look like the hair at the top of your scalp, I would say that you have male pattern baldness, not diffuse thinning. Also, I looked at your picture and I think that you might be trying to grow your hair very long in order to cover the hair...

I think you have done a good job of distinguishing between male pattern baldness and telogen effluvium. Also, I think your dermatologist has made the right diagnosis regarding what you are experiencing. I hope your telogen effluvium reverses soon.

21ukheregoes, I first wanted to say that I am happy that your career is going well. I was hoping that I could ask you a question. I looked at the pictures that you posted and noticed that you have lost a lot of hair in a very short period of time. In general, I think it is unusual for...

After looking at your pictures, I would say that you are experiencing diffuse thinning on your scalp. The fact that your hair was completely normal three months ago suggests to me that your diffuse thinning might be a result of stress. I have read that individuals who are going through a...

In general, the hair at the back of the scalp is thicker than the hair in the front and at the vertex. Also, when the hair starts to thin in the front and in the crown area, the hair at the back often maintains it thickness.

I don't think you need to have a hair transplant right now. You have excellent hair. You have no recession in the front, and your hair is very thick. I think you should be very happy with your hair.

Having an iron deficiency can cause you to lose your hair. Iron is one of the nutrients that are necessary in order to promote hair growth. Some good sources of iron include meat, lentils and leafy green vegetables.

This man has great-looking hair. He has no recession in the front and overall his hair is thick. His hairline is probably less than a Norwood 1.

I would say that you are a Norwood 1.5. I don't think you are losing your hair. You have your adult hairline. I would not panic at all.

When I was losing my hair, it increased my motivation to get in shape. My thinking was that if my body looked good, it would take attention away from the fact that I was losing my hair. Working out also helped me to take my mind off the fact that I was losing my hair.
