I have been losing my hair since I was around 16. It has been extremely hard to come to terms with being in only 21. I remember going to the dermatologist when I was 17 and complaining of my thinning hair. She almost laughed at me. It was like it was a joke to her and anyone I tried to vent to. Before I lost hair I was extremely outgoing and had all the great early experiences with girls. My hair loss I got very aggressive and by the time I graduated high school I was noticeably balding. My forehead was very high and I would receive unwanted comments and remarks about my hair loss that no 18 year old wants to hear.
I graduated high school, hopeful for a brighter future and new start. I had just started finasteride and thought it was my solution. That was completely wrong. I only had some happiness when I had regrowth from minoxidil and finasteride combined but after my initial growth, all my gains began falling out. It was horrible! I hopped off the meds when I noticed watery semen and brain fog...
A few months ago I tried using a hair system or hair piece but the anxiety of being caught or called out was unreal. It was such a hassle to style and wash and the salon I went to was overconfident and pricey as f***...
I then coped to shaving my head with clippers and have not liked the look. Only thing good about it is not having to style hair or cut it or whatever. I have a large head and I think it looks bad. Sometimes I feel like I’m too self conscious and I need to move on. But my mind has become so attuned to thinking negatively and disliking my image as a result of experiencing this so young. Is there hope for the future? Or do I just accept it and move on? Should I grow out my hair a little to cover the shape?
