Hairloss Or Other Problem? Advice Needed!

[chris93]

I am 25 years old and a couple of years ago my hairline matured and receded slightly, at the same time it had stages of going through thin and thick growth for a couple of months but i assumed it was my terrible diet so i started taking hair vitamins alongside using caffeine shampoo and it seemed to stay fine for a couple of years after!

I have always had very fine light hair that still grows long very fast and iv not noticed any shedding whatsoever but over id say the past 6 months my hair has become significantly thin with time just generally over my whole head! In particular i have started getting a strange parting on the frontal side of my head iv never had before where hair seems to be spreading out!

I still have plenty of hair to play with but because of how thin and strange it seems to be growing i really struggle to style it without it looking like a mess!

I am just looking for your suggestions on what to do next? I have considered seeing my GP to see if i have some sort of deficiency but i think i may just generally be balding?

what type of product do you guys think could save my hair and give it a bit more thickness? i have read about minoxidil and Propecia but it seems one makes your hair fall out and the other gives you bad sexual side affects..

any ideas?

Iv attached some pictures taken in direct sunlight!

Seems like Androgenetic Alopecia to me, you should start real treatments if you want to keep them.

Agreed with the above. It looks like the patterned recession that comes from male pattern baldness. Minoxidil does cause shedding but it helps remodel your hair after a few months. I have always had horrific shedding but it still works for me. Finasteride usually does not cause long-term sexual issues. For most men you may initially have sexual issues but they tend to resolve. For some men it makes them hornier.

I'll have to look into these treatments more!
But basically my best option is to start early and hang onto the hair I've got?

Im not sure how i feel about minoxidil but have read up on finasteride before, I dont know if this is how finasteride works but I have a very high sex drive anyway (probably why I'm going bald ) maybe this pill will level that out rather than make me limp!

Going bald has nothing to do with sex drive.

I wouldn't wait forever, the longer you wait the less you will be able to reclaim.
