I'm new to losing hair, and I just want to get some advice from people who know better than I.
I'm 21. I noticed my hair loss about 4 months ago. When I looked in the mirror, I could tell that the hair on the crown of my head was thinning. It is also more visible after a shower. Since then my hair has been shedding pretty constantly.
I lose probably 100 in the shower each day, and more throughout the day if I even touch my hair a bit. I notice hair on my clothes all the time now, and my hair is noticeably thinner than it was even a month ago. While my hair loss is most noticeable on the crown of my head, hair is shedding from everywhere.
Looking at the Norwood scale, I appear to be somewhere in between a 2 and a 3a. I have visible loss on the crown, but my hair is not as thin at the front as a 3a.
Before finding this forum, I started using Rogaine on the crown of my head. I've been good about it, applying 2x daily for about 1.5 months. I'm not sure how I'd tell if it's working, though.
What do you think I should do to slow down my loss and try to regain some of the hair I've lost? Thinking about this is consuming a lot of my life, and I'd really like to feel as if I'm doing something about it.
Thanks guys.
