Just a comment on this. I remember when I had hair that I could actually part :cry: ...I parted it on my left side of my head. When I began to seriously lose my hair at my temples, I would work furiously on the part, combing it this way and that, attempting to cover the balding areas. When that was a lost cause, I began parting in the center of my head and grew my hair longer and used the long hair to cover my scalp. (ridiculous look, by the way) Now, my hair loss on my left side of my head by the temples (where I was always parting) is far greater, and I have a greater amount of hairloss at the top of my head, exactly where the part used to be. Now I know that simply parting the hair would not cause hairloss, but if you're pulling and tugging the hair, aren't you putting stress on the follicles and they're more likely to fall out? And...since your hair is more likely not to grow back, wouldn't parting your hair, simply add to the woes and increase the likelyhood that that area will lose hair faster than other areas? Shiney

my left temple is receding at a faster rate than the left to the extent that the difference is noticible to people. It's nothing to do with parting or combing for me - I don't think its much of a suprise that people find one side receding/thining faster than the other.

male pattern baldness genes= parting does not matter, you're just losing your hair. A couple combs left and right won't do sh*t.
Non-male pattern baldness genes= You can part your hair till you die and it won't do sh*t

Dear Friends
Hairstyle and the position of the parting is a really interesting matter. As per my theory any manipulation which eases the elimination and/or mobilization of the sebum flow outwards may be positive for hair growth (example: scalp exercises or scalp massages). In my opinion, comb-over hairstyles are negative and cause that balding areas continue growing, since by placing such hairs at a far distance of the contact with the pilow while we sleep (we spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping) this will avoid that sebum reaches this absorbent surface. I think something similar happens when parting hair.
On the other hand it might seem oddy that the hair placed in an area of the head grows better than that placed in the other area. It can have a simple explanation, when we sleep our body changes the position every certain time, but we usually rest our head longer on one side than on the other one. It seems normal that the area we rest on the pillow longer has a better growth, and just the other way round at the opposite side. In this way, as per my hypotheses, maybe x50 sleeps longer resting his left side of the head and Pharoh does it just the other way round.
Could you confirm this?

No, no, no...my dick hangs naturally to the left, to compensate, my body will naturally create an "inbalance" of testosterone on my right side of my body to compensate..that creates more hair loss on my right side of my "head". Let this be the end of it. :hairy:

Well then, just swing your dick like a pendulum on a regular basis and you should create a natural balance. You might even create a new dancing phenomenon. It can be dubbed the "shineydome swagger". Hell while you're at it tie a rope around your scrotum near the body, creating a decline in the absorbed testosterone and solve the whole hair loss problem in one swift knot. You can market the "cure" as the "shineydome strangle knot" cure for baldness....................SSK19.

Different regrowth/loss at the sides of the scalp
Friends;
My intention when I talked about this matter was only to try to give a possible explanation. The difference regrowth and loss in one side of the head and the other one is not remarkably noticable, but there are many statements of different people reporting this, apart from yours.
I just tried to expose my point of view, but I may be wrong and maybe the explanation is just due to the androgens and genetics :freaked2: .
I am quoting some similar reports for your information only.

I am sure it happens. At first my hair line was receding on the right side
only. Then my leftside started to recede years later. My rightside is still
worse. Right Now I am a Norwood 2 on my right side and a Norwood 1.5 on my left

Post: starting to lose scalp hair, in Sepetember 8, 2000.
In the past three weeks, though, I've experienced some really noticeable
thinning at the front of my scalp, especially the left side (there's
that left side again!).

7 Month update.... in October, 7, 2000.
I have been on Propecia for about 7 months now. For the first 4 months
things seemed like they were going to be okay. After month 4 my hair
has continued to fall faster than it has grown back. My hair line has
lost almost an inch now on the left side and the right at about 1/2 an
inch or less.

Oh and I almost forgot to say,
my right side seems to stimulate much better than left. And my right
side (temple) also grows hair better than left.
I don't know if it's coincidental but anyway.

Re: Propecia-My 1 year results, December, 14, 2000.
I also had uneven thinning while using Propecia for several months.
Left temple receded while the right temple did not.
Not sure if it was a result of the Propecia.
Either way, it didn't stop or slow my overall hairloss.

Well this is really weird, i just noticed that my thining in the back has
gone a litt further but not as normal thining goes. The top back of my head
has gotton thin in kinda a hourshoe way, but whats weird is that on the
top-back right side it like the hair is almost gone while on the top-back
left side it just thin like it was before. sorta like a small circle on the
top-back right while the top-back left it just a line. Is this weird shot
normal, this just doesn't seem right.

Question for Dr Proctor , September, 02, 2001
My name is Rickey and I am a 23 year old male. Within the past year
and a half I have begun to noticed thinning on the left side of my

First I was only experiencing thinning on ONE SIDE of my head, and I have never seen
anyone suffering from male pattern baldness on only one side of their head, it always seems symmetrical

Intriguing phenomenon, April, 04, 2002
Not only is the right side of my scalp receding and thinning faster
than the left but the right side of my face is aging faster also.
This is especially visible around the eye area where wrinkles and
"crow's feet" near the eye's corner are deeper and more visible.
I also have noticeably more grey hair on the right than the left
temple area.
All I can think of is
(1) Whenever I sleep on my side (which is often), it's mostly on my
left side.
Possible explanation: the chronic pressure caused by sleeping on the
left side causes the local tissue to release some hair growth factor.
(2) Whenever I use the phone (cell=33%, cordless=66% or plain old=1%
), I always hold it to my right ear.
Possible explanation: RF energy induced oxidative stress to local
tissue.
Anyone else notice this kind of pattern?
Regards.

I have nothing to report yet. Two days ago I was about to purchase a
single pointer from the site that I mentioned several days ago but got
stuck over which one to choose:-I --- I will do it hopefully today.
Thank you for that laser-show si(gh)Telogen Effluvium. For now I plan to 'focus'
on giving a single red pointer a shot over a small (and the only)
problematic area on my right side (the part that I sleep on) with one
goal in mind- to see if laser has any effect at all. Will let you
know.

It might be the case that there's some sort of anatomical cause.
