If you shake your hair on a white piece of paper and more than 10 hairs fall out you are balding. Your hair looks thick man, I wish I had that thickness.

How does the number of hairs that fall out prove your balding is that some kind of standard test or something? I thought everyone loses like 20 a day or so and it all depends on whether they grow back at same thickness or not.

20 hairs a day is normal but losing over 50 to 100 isn't. I know some people who can use gel or hair clay and don't get more than a single hair on their hand when applying it. I get tons of hairs coming out when I apply hair products.

it proves a lot man, if you have a ton of hair falling out when you shower or shake your head or on your pillow you are shedding. Don't buy into that 100 hairs a day is normal, I did and a few years later my thick hair was gone and it thinned bad. I was told it is normal to lose 50-100 hairs a day and thought my shedding was normal until I saw my hairline go and my thinning and scalp showing in the sun.

I think so or slightly. Avoid combing your hair down over your forehead. It makes your skin breakout. I know about acne and it sucks. Your fine. If it bugs you, buzz it like chris evans.

Its been over a month since accutane and I notice hairloss still. Its slowed but I fear it progressing. Did you shave it or? I plan for a buzz cut if all else fails. I may regret not using the big 3 but meds led to hairloss. I can only imagine if I took steroids.

Accutane is pretty dangerous. I think it was banned in America after an actor was sick and couldn't work he was taking the accutane for several months and his colon inflamed and he had to get it removed. Accutane kills the good bacteria in your intestines, making it difficult for you to absorb certain vitamins and minerals this is probably why it could lead to hairloss plus it also dries out the skin. You should have taken probiotics while on the stuff. I know you only have to use Accutane for 6 months and once you go off your acne is clear forever and will only get the occasional zit.

I think you should do what you feel is best for you man, if you are okay with balding than shave it especially if you have a good look bald
