Hi.
I'm 23 and first experienced hair loss in my late teens. I have very "high" temples, and since I turned 20, the front has also been thinning.
When I was 21 I decided to shave all my hair off - Bruce Willis style. Actually I grew in confidence, because it turned out that the new look really looked good on me. Started to get many compliments from girls etc. It requires a nice round shape of the head and a brown skin (solarium is the key).
After about a year I began to get depressed again, because I no longer thought it was great being bald. I'm studying law and is afraid that it will limit my future job options being bald.
So when I was 22 i began on Propecia, took a short break that lasted for a couple of weeks after 3 months, but have taken it continuely since then. I have been on Propecia for a year and a couple of months, and I really dont see any positive change. My front is still thin, and for the last couple of months I think that even my mid scalp is beginning to thin as well. I am really afraid, because the hair on my mid scalp used to be thick.
I have read about shedding, but also read that shedding occurs after a couple of months and not after a year! I should be able to see new hairs coming out instead of seeing them falling off.
Nevertheless, I have booked an appointment for a hair transplantation because I still hope that Propecia will work in the future. My hope is that I can restore my frontal hairline with the transplantation and then keep the hair in crown and mid scalp section using Propecia.
But I am not as excited right now, I am beginning to loose my patience with Propecia and starting to think the whole transplantation-thing is a stupid idea. Because if Propecia doesn't work, then the money used on the transplantation will spilled.
Anyone who can help me with some piece of advice?
Love
The Dane
