well i'm no expert, but I think that's how it starts off for eveyrone who is experiencing male pattern baldness.
I noticed looking though my spiked up hair once that it's was really thin!! I was like WTF?? sure enough a few weeks/months down the road it got a lot thinner, and everytime i wash my hair or try to spike it up with gel i get a handful of hair.
I changed my hair style a little bit and dont use as much gel. it sucks but gotta do what you gotta do.
If i were you I'd go see a dermatologist. just from what you've said i'm sure your Derm will perscibe you propecia. (mine did) i've only been on it a little over a month so i really can't tell you if it's workign or not yet.
but I can tell you I have zero side effects so far.. except for oily skin on my forhead.
don't freak out!! get on propecia and save what you have!

well propecia is the best product on the market for thinning in the front.
nothing is out there to cure it except for a hair transplant. and i've heard not even those are 100% successful.
rogaine and topical products are really only good for the back of your head.
I only have thinning hair in the front. I'm using propecia and i shampoo my hair 2 -3 X a week with nizoral reccomened by my dermatologist.
nothing will cure the front, unfortunatly that's the hardest part to control.
good luck man!

could be for a few weeks/months could be indefinate.
from what i've gathered people go though shedding stages, and some are worse then others, so your not going to get a definate time frame.
so what i'd do now is set up an apointment to see a dermatologist.
it takes minimum of 3 months for propecia to start working so the sooner you get it the better.

Sounds like male pattern baldness. But then, you know your hair better than we do. However, the old cliche is virtually always true: if you think you're losing your hair, you probably are.
Propecia is good stuff and cost effective if you purchase it's "big brother," Proscar.

rtg313s, the way you describe your hairloss sounds exactly like waht i went threw.
don't waste time like i did. i managed to maintain a good amount of hair & with dermatch my hairloss is barely noticeable, but if you start straight away you will never regret it!
go see a derm asap. BUT do not get tricked into joining one of these laser clinics. they waste time & money :!:

my hair is thin when its spiked up by i dont get handful of hairs when i take a shower and i dont see any hairs on my pillow when i wake up. i also never get any itchy scalp or irritation. is my hair just naturally fine and thin?...maybe my hair is just dry?
Hi rtg313s
I've got pretty much exactly the same symptoms as you've described... am also young... also think the hair may be thinning at the front on the top. Again, pretty much as you've said.
Please let me know how you're getting on with the treatments you've started. Thanks!
I'm in the UK - can someone tell me if these drugs are prescribed by your GP? How does it work? If not, where do we get them and how do we safely know what we should be taking?
I'm a newbie as you probably gathered...
Many thanks
